Catching The Butterfly Lyrics
As though you were born
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold
A child within
Has healing ways
It sees me through
My darkest days
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
Something now????
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In my private dreams
In my private dreams
In my private dreams
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
Be with me
Be with me
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold
A child within
Has healing ways
It sees me through
My darkest days
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
Through life no fun
I want to feel
I want to run
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
In my lucid dreams
In that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In that dream of mine
I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly
In my private dreams
In my private dreams
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
Be with me
Be with me
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
To be in your eyes

to me, he is saying that you can never stop following your dreams, even if it can really only remain a dream.
i love this song, the soft music and lyrics make it a favorit of mine on sleepless nights
I think it is reliving the days which you value most, and days which you were happiest are the ones which plague your memory. Embrace those feelings and only let in the good times. It's not letting go of what you once had : )
Lovely x
I am going to keep on living life to the full, I am going to keep on trying to make my dreams come true- just like a child does.
I think this song is about Richards childhood.
The lyrics "I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly in that butterfly in that dream of mine" could be a reflection on Richards childhood before his dad passed. I think he is reflecting on the joy he had as a child, before he became a victim of depression.
The lyrics "through life no fun", and " I want to run" could be him trying to recreate his childhood joy to help him fight his depression. I also think that the lyrics "my lucid dreams" could be him picturing these memories as vividly as he can.
This one of my most favourite songs off of Urban Hymns.
This is a beautiful residual of the Monarch Experiment. Mad Richard is one of the Best Butterflys to Flutterby. Thank You, Your Excellency ! I am eternally at your service, although rather nervous. They don't deserve us !!!
