Butterfly Lyrics

Cover art for Butterfly lyrics by Wintersleep

It's about that moment (or those moments) when you realise what your parents told you wasn't necessarily true, and all your childhood optimism and hope and faith in the world fades away and you're left with the dark truth that the world isn't always fair, and there isn't always justice, like when good people die. I think that's why it's called Butterfly, it's like you're being forced out of the the cocoon of childhood.
