Cover art for Dragonfly lyrics by My Brightest Diamond

I agree with AdiuvaMe that this song could very likely be a methaphor for love. But seeing as how I've never really been in love, I never really looked at it that way...

Dragonfly kind of reminds me of Eisley's 'Tree Tops'. So to me it has a similar meaning. Like not being afraid to "fly" or be who you are, being yourself. The 'black' could be depression (I know, EVER song is about depression on this website), but maybe the speaker is afraid to fly because the higher you fly the harder, you fall... which could apply to relationships or just life in general... like I said.

Like a lot of songs of the album it's about leaving... or being left. I love it!
