Butterflies...
slayyyter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my head
Butterflies
Now all dead
Tears for you
Crack the whip
Heart in two
In your bed
Candy hearts in my eyes
You brought me back to life
Star crossed love in the nighttime
Then you pushed me aside again
(Ow)
I feel sick 'bout the things you've put me through
Once again I'm not holding out for you
I won't watch now, your life is invisible
What the fuck ever made you so miserable?
Are you scared?
Do you think we're friends?
Are you running that mouth
Making shit up again?
Do you think you're cool?
Do you think I care?
Do you think your life
Is just so unfair?
In slayyyter's song, "Butterflies", the singer describes memories of a relationship where things once felt magical ("Crystal blue in my head"), but now that it's over, they've lost their appeal ("Butterflies now all dead"). The singer is at a point where they're hurt and frustrated with their past partner ("Tears for you, crack the whip, heart in two"), and feeling disillusioned about the whole experience ("In your bed"). The chorus then jumps to the present, where the singer feels bitterly betrayed ("You brought me back to life, then you pushed me aside again"). They're still grappling with their feelings of heartbreak and anger, but they're also starting to come to terms with the fact that their ex-partner doesn't deserve the emotional energy they've been giving them ("Once again, I'm not holding out for you", "I won't watch now, your life is invisible"). The singer then turns the tables, asking their ex what they hoped to achieve by mistreating them ("What the fuck ever made you so miserable?").
Line by Line Meaning
Crystal blue
I used to see things in a positive light
In my head
Even though it was just in my thoughts and imagination
Butterflies
I had feelings of excitement and anticipation
Now all dead
Those feelings are gone and I'm left with nothing but emptiness
Tears for you
I'm crying because of the pain you caused me
Crack the whip
You were being controlling and manipulating
Heart in two
You broke my heart into pieces
In your bed
It all happened in the intimacy of your personal space
Candy hearts in my eyes
I had sweet and innocent intentions towards you
You brought me back to life
You gave me hope and reasons to live again
Star crossed love in the nighttime
Our love seemed perfect and destined at night
Then you pushed me aside again
But you disregarded me and left me alone and hurt like before
(Ow)
I'm hurting and reacting to the pain like it's physical
I feel sick 'bout the things you've put me through
I'm disgusted by how you treated me and the emotional turmoil you caused
Once again I'm not holding out for you
I'm not expecting you to come back or make it right
I won't watch now, your life is invisible
I don't care about your existence and have moved on from you
What the fuck ever made you so miserable?
I'm questioning why you're so unhappy and why you took it out on me
Are you scared?
Are you feeling fearful or anxious?
Do you think we're friends?
Are you really considering us to be friends?
Are you running that mouth
Are you spreading rumors and talking behind my back?
Making shit up again?
Are you lying and fabricating stories once more?
Do you think you're cool?
Do you believe that you're popular and impressive?
Do you think I care?
Do you assume that I'm still invested in you?
Do you think your life is just so unfair?
Do you have a pity-party mentality and think that life isn't fair to you?

”Crystal blue in my head
Butterflies, now all dead
Tears for you, crack the whip
Heart in two (Heart in two), in your bed
Candy hearts in my eyes
You brought me back to life
Star crossed love in the nighttime
Then you pushed me aside again (Ow!)
I feel sick 'bout the things you put me through
Once again I'm not holdin' out for you
I won't watch, now your life is invisible
What the fuck ever made you so miserable?
Are you scared? Do you think we're friends?
Are you runnin' that mouth, makin' shit up again?
Do you think you're cool? Do you think I care?
Do you think your lifе is just so unfair?”
