Butterflies
demxntia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where not a thing would matter
Not a care within the world
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy like
The weight thats on my chest
Cuz lately I been feelin' empty but
You should know that best
There's a void within my chest
But my mind full
Next time I wanna get attached
I'll be mindful instead of walkin' on a
Tightrope with a blindfold
And expecting not to fall
Into this everlasting cycle
I swear this is Deja Vu
Because I know I wrote at least
A hundrеd songs just about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
But you help me take my mind off
All thе things that I been through
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
(Thinking about the times that
I made you laugh)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times
That we shared
(Every time I close my eyes I see you there)
Every time I hear your voice
It gives me butterflies
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious
When I look into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
That I hope you never hear
The lies that I was writing when
I was mising you my dear
Now lying wide awake
I wonder why I feel this way
This empty heart gets colder
Almost every single day
I've been staring at these four white walls
Like do I mean a thing to you at all?
So take away my ability to feel
Because I'd rather numb my senses than
Feeling something that ain't real
Every night my heart is sinking
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
I'm not so sure
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
Cuz every time we cease communication
I feel so confined
And every night I think of you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
Every night I think of you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
The lyrics of "Butterflies" by demxntia convey a sense of longing, emptiness, and confusion in a relationship. The song begins by reflecting on simpler times when nothing else mattered and the singer wasn't preoccupied with thoughts of their partner. However, they admit feeling heavy-hearted and empty lately, indicating that something has changed.
The first verse portrays the internal struggle between the feeling of emptiness and a desire to feel a sense of connection again. The line "There's a void within my chest, but my mind is full" suggests that the singer's thoughts are consumed by their emotions, even though they feel emotionally empty. They express a desire to approach future relationships with mindfulness rather than blindly walking into them and facing disappointments.
The chorus emphasizes the effect this person has on the singer. The mention of butterflies and anxiety when looking into their eyes suggests a mix of excitement and nervousness. The singer admits to telling themselves lies, likely in an effort to maintain a façade and hide their true feelings. Despite this, they acknowledge that they wrote countless songs about this person, indicating a deep emotional connection.
The second verse reveals a struggle with the memories of the past relationship. The singer feels stuck reminiscing about the good times they shared, making it difficult to move forward. The lines "I wonder why I feel this way, this empty heart gets colder" imply a growing sense of heartache and loneliness. They question their importance to the other person, wondering if they even matter at all.
The song concludes with a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The singer contemplates numbing their emotions to avoid the pain of feeling something that may not be real. However, doubts persist in their mind, as they wonder if their feelings are reciprocated and if the other person feels the same way.
Overall, "Butterflies" by demxntia captures the rollercoaster of emotions experienced in a complex and uncertain romantic relationship. It delves into the themes of longing, doubt, and the struggle to find meaning and connection.

Lets take it back back to the days
Let's go back to a time in the past
Where not a thing would matter
When nothing else was important
Not a care within the world
Without any worries or concerns
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
I wasn't focused on her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy like
But my eyes feel weighed down as if
The weight thats on my chest
There is a heavy burden on my heart
Cuz lately I been feelin' empty but
Because recently I have been feeling a sense of emptiness
You should know that best
You should understand it better than anyone
There's a void within my chest
My chest feels empty inside
But my mind full
But my mind is filled
Next time I wanna get attached
The next time I want to form an emotional connection
I'll be mindful instead of walkin' on a
I will be cautious rather than blindly
Tightrope with a blindfold
Walking on a narrow path without seeing
And expecting not to fall
And not expecting to stumble or fail
Into this everlasting cycle
Into this never-ending pattern
I swear this is Deja Vu
I strongly feel that I have experienced this before
Because I know I wrote at least
Because I remember writing at least
A hundre songs just about you
Hundreds of songs solely about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
I know it may not be wise to desire you
But you help me take my mind off
Yet, you assist in diverting my thoughts from
All the things that I been through
All the experiences I have gone through
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
Unable to move on from recalling the memories we shared
(Thinking about the times that
(Remembering the moments when
I made you laugh)
I brought laughter to your life)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times
Unable to move on from recalling the moments
That we shared
That we experienced together
Every time I hear your voice
Each instance I listen to your voice
It gives me butterflies
It creates a fluttering feeling within me
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious
Attempting to conceal my anxiety
When I look into your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
And I deceive myself with these falsehoods
That I hope you never hear
That I wish you never become aware of
The lies that I was writing when
The untruths I was crafting when
I was mising you my dear
I was longing for you, my beloved
Now lying wide awake
Now being awake and unable to sleep
I wonder why I feel this way
I question why I have these emotions
This empty heart gets colder
This heart devoid of warmth becomes colder
Almost every single day
Almost every day without exception
I've been staring at these four white walls
I have been gazing at these plain, colorless walls
Like do I mean a thing to you at all?
As if questioning if I hold any significance to you whatsoever
So take away my ability to feel
Therefore, remove my capacity to sense emotions
Because I'd rather numb my senses than
Because I would prefer to deaden my senses instead of
Feeling something that ain't real
Experiencing emotions that are not genuine
Every night my heart is sinking
Every night my heart feels heavy and descends
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
Or maybe I am overly analyzing
I'm not so sure
I am unsure
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
Perhaps I am simply squandering my time
Cuz every time we cease communication
Because every time we stop talking
I feel so confined
I feel restricted and limited
And every night I think of you
And every night I contemplate about you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
I wonder if you experience the same emotions as I do?
Every night I think of you
Every night I contemplate about you
Wonder if you feel the same way that I do?
I wonder if you experience the same emotions as I do?

yeah
Let's take it back
Back to the days where
Not a thing would matter
Not a care within' the world
Wasn't really thinkin' 'bout her
But my eyes are feelin' heavy
Like the weight that's on my chest
'Cause lately, I been feelin' empty
But you should know that best
There's a void within' my chest
But my mind full
Next time I wanna get attached
I'll be mindful
Instead of walkin' on a tightrope
With a blindfold and expecting not to fall into this
Everlasting cycle
And I swear this is déjà vu
'Cause I know I wrote at least a hundred songs just about you
I know I probably shouldn't want you
But you help me take my mind off
All the things that I been through
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times that we had
(Thinking about the times that I made you laugh)
Stuck reminiscing 'bout the times we shared
(Every time I close my eyes, I see you there)
Every time I hear your voice, it gives me butterflies
Tryna hide the fact that I get anxious when I look into your eyes
And I tell myself these lies
That I hope that you never hear
The lies that I was writin' when I was missing you, my dear
Now, lying wide awake, I wonder why I feel this way
This empty heart gets colder almost every single day
I've been staring at these four white walls
Like, do I mean a thing to you at all?
So take away my ability to feel
Because I'd rather numb my senses
Than feeling something that ain't real
But every night my heart is sinking
Or maybe I'm just overthinking
And I'm not so sure
Maybe I'm just wasting all my time
'Cause every time we cease communication
I feel so confined
And every night I think of you
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
Every night I think of you
I wonder if you feel the same way that I do
