Cocoon Lyrics

SHE IS FLYING
SOARING THROUGH THE AIR UP THERE
MY BUTTERFLY
IN THE SKY SHE LOVES TO FLY
FROM WAY UP HIGH
MY BUTTERFLY

FLOATING IN THE SKY
IS HER STATE OF MIND
SHE IS FLYING
SOARING THROUGH THE AIR UP THERE
MY BUTTERFLY

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about being high on drugs. It gives in away with "floating in the sky, in her state of mind." If you listen to the song, it's obviously meant to sound like a fantasy. The person had a lot of problems. Listen to the classical section in the middle. The music is meant to sound anguished and caotic. "She is soaring, flying through the air up there, my butterfly." is a symbol for she's taking drugs to numb the pain.
