Butterfly
savage genius Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

降り注ぐ　光の粒
限りなく　泳ぐように
空色に溶けてくわ
気ままに　ありのままに

街にあふれる　いろんな誘惑
脇目もふらず　今すぐに

背中の羽根　広げて
迷いもなく行けるの
あなたのにおい
甘い蜜の味
Oh, I'm a butterfly.

夢から覚めた日曜日
新しい風　吸いこんで
あなたの鼻にキスを
ここは居心地がいいわ

あたしに夢中になって！！
あなたの為に　色付くよ

背中の羽根　広げて
どこへでも行けるけど
あなたのとなり
たったひとつの場所
Oh, You're only one.

１人はもういやだよ
この手が大好きなの
"うれしい""かなしい"
分け合っていこう
ずっと　一緒に

背中の羽根　広げて
迷いもなく行けるの
あなたのにおい

甘い蜜の味
Oh, I'm a butterfly.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Savage Genius's song "Butterfly" speak to the freedom and whimsy of love. The first verse describes the sensation of being surrounded by light particles and swimming freely in the sky, a feeling of weightlessness and possibility. The singer of the song is unencumbered by the temptations of the city and lives freely and truly without hesitation, embodied in the second verse by the release of butterfly wings.

The chorus equates the singer to a butterfly because of their ability to fly freely and their taste for the metaphorical "sweet honey" of love. The second verse describes how the music's love interest is an ideal partner for the singer, noting that their scent is intoxicating and that even when separated from them, the singer still feels content and at ease.

The third and final verse touches on themes of partnership and shared experiences, noting how much the singer enjoys being with their partner and sharing in both happy and sad moments. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus.
