Butterfly
Walker (Scott) Lyrics

Walker (Scott)’s song "Butterfly" is a piece that reflects on the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The butterfly is a metaphor for a lost soul, aimlessly wandering around and searching for a home, something to connect with. The butterfly’s search for a place to belong perfectly symbolizes the human quest for a sense of belonging, a place where one feels welcome and understood. The butterfly chooses the persona's hair, indicating the closeness the persona and the butterfly have forged through their struggles of feeling lost. The central theme of isolation, longing, and brokenness runs through the song.

The persona finds himself unwilling to face the world, withdrawing into the seas of melancholy. His eyes seem to carry dark, enigmatic secrets that no one can decipher, and he's lost in a world where he doesn't seem to fit. The comparison of the persona to a star and a butterfly emphasizes his loneliness and how he is a wanderer without a direction or purpose. Walker (Scott) seems to suggest that, like the butterfly and the persona, we all can be embraced and welcomed into the folds of society, finding that sense of belonging and purpose that makes life enjoyable.
