Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dustbox's song 'Butterfly' convey the idea of being in love with someone but feeling unsure about whether they feel the same way. The lines "Don't think about anything, just love me" and "Are you really so beautiful and scary?" suggest that the singer is both captivated by the other person's beauty and intimidated by it, perhaps indicating that they feel unworthy of their affection. The repetition of the word "geobna" (which roughly translates to "scared" in English) further emphasizes this fear.


At the same time, however, there is a sense of hope and longing in the lyrics. The phrase "You…you…you…" is repeated several times, perhaps representing the singer's desire for their love to be reciprocated. The title of the song, "Butterfly," reinforces this idea of transformation and growth - just as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, the singer may also transform and grow from their experience of unrequited love.


Overall, the lyrics of "Butterfly" capture the bittersweet feeling of being in love but not knowing if the other person feels the same way. The mixture of fear, hope, and longing expressed in the lyrics make this a relatable and emotionally charged song.
