matryoshka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've failed to get you off my mind
So i still think of you
I bury myself deeply underneath golden leaves
No one can find me out
So quiet times have passed so fast
Feel fall comes again
Time and time again
What I am to you
Slowly fall asleep
I have the same dream of you
As if you were here
One thousand days
I've spent sleepless nights alone
Afraid to fall asleep
I'm still haunted by the past
Tell me how to forget
I wish you felt regret
Now I just keep wandering
Nothing has changed at all
Time and time again
I ask myself where I belong
What I am to you
Slowly fall asleep
I have the same dream of you
As if you were here
The lyrics to Matryoshka's song "Butterflysoup" describe the singer's struggle to let go of someone they can't forget. The opening line sets the tone, stating that the singer has failed to get this person off their mind one hundred times. Throughout the song, the singer expresses their desire to escape from the hold this person has on them, but they can't seem to break free. The imagery of burying oneself underneath golden leaves gives the sense of wanting to disappear or hide away, but no matter how hard the singer tries, they can't shake off the memories of this person.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's anxiety about where they belong to this person. They ask themselves repeatedly what they are to them and where they stand in their life. These questions underscore the singer's lack of closure and suggest that they were left hanging without a proper explanation or goodbye. The dream motif reinforces this sense of longing and the singer's reluctance to let go. They still dream of this person as if they were here, suggesting that this person is still very real to them and present in their mind.
Overall, "Butterflysoup" is a poignant expression of unrequited love and the struggle to move on from someone who has left a lasting imprint on our hearts and minds.

false
on Sink into the Sin
Close your eyes
and see everything you want to see
You see, the next ice age comes
Then he will bring destruction
It's the end you really want to see
You're still hiding in your eyelid
I sink your soul into my sin
He gives new plastic politics.
Open your eyes. Don't see anything
In the dark sea, you keep breathing
It's the place you really want to be
You're still hiding in your eyelid
I sink your soul into my sin
