The Beautified Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She dies every day
Beyond her butterfly
She cries through her veins
Beyond her butterfly
She searches for the truth
Beyond her butterfly she flies.
Yes I know it's so sad, in two days you must die, my butterfly.
Follow this bloody trace
Follow her bloody veins
Maybe then you'll see
She lives in a darker place
A place where she calls home
She wants to be alone
So that she can face, her pain
Butterfly, butterfly in my hands you try to fly
Yes I know it's so sad, in two days you must die, my butterfly,
butterfly… butterfly… you must die …
The lyrics to The Beautified Project's song Butterfly are full of emotion and depth. The recurring line, "Beyond her butterfly," speaks to a woman who is struggling with inner turmoil and trying to find the truth. She hides behind a facade of beauty and grace, represented by the butterfly, but underneath she is slowly dying every day. Her pain is so consuming that it courses through her veins and she longs for a place where she can face it alone.
The second verse delves deeper into her pain and isolation. The imagery of a "bloody trace" and "bloody veins" suggests a darker, more visceral struggle within her. She calls this place home and wants to be alone to deal with her suffering. The repetition of the chorus, with its bittersweet tone, reinforces the idea that she is on borrowed time and must face her fate all alone.
Overall, Butterfly is a haunting and deeply moving song that speaks to the human experience of pain and isolation. It reminds us that sometimes, the most beautiful things can come from the darkest places.
Line by Line Meaning
Beyond her butterfly
Despite her outward appearance of grace and beauty like that of a butterfly,
She dies every day
Her inner turmoil and suffering causes her to feel like a part of her is dying each day.
Beyond her butterfly
Even though she appears to be fluttering through life, carefree,
She cries through her veins
Her suffering runs deep within her, coursing through her veins like tears.
Beyond her butterfly
Despite her facade of happiness and contentment,
She searches for the truth
She yearns for answers to the questions that plague her mind, seeking true understanding.
Beyond her butterfly she flies.
Her spirit soars beyond her physical form, searching for something more meaningful than what she currently has.
Butterfly, butterfly in my hands you try to fly
The artist is holding onto something fleeting and fragile, attempting to keep it from slipping away.
Yes I know it's so sad, in two days you must die, my butterfly.
The artist knows that holding onto something too tightly can cause it to wither and fade away, just as keeping a butterfly in captivity will lead to its death.
Follow this bloody trace
To understand her pain, one must follow the path of her suffering.
Follow her bloody veins
The physical manifestation of her emotional turmoil can be seen in her veins, which betray the sense of calm that she tries to convey.
Maybe then you'll see
Only by truly understanding the depth and complexity of her pain can one begin to comprehend what she is going through.
She lives in a darker place
Her mind is shrouded in darkness, causing her to feel isolated and alone.
A place where she calls home
Despite the pain, she has become accustomed to this emotional state and it has become her comfort zone.
She wants to be alone
She desires solitude, perhaps as a way to cope with her pain without any external interference.
So that she can face, her pain
Only by confronting her pain head-on can she hope to overcome it and heal.
butterfly… butterfly… you must die …
The repetition of this line drives home the idea that holding onto something cannot change its nature, and that sometimes the most beautiful things are the most fleeting.
