Cover art for Yellow Butterfly lyrics by Meg & Dia

This song is abotu a mother and a daughter at a river. The mother goes to sleep and is awoken by her daughter drowning in the lake. Thats the first bit.

At the 'It's been 5 years since then.' its talking about how her marrage has ben broken by losing the child. In the end the mother suffers a car crash in an attempt to end it all. She survies but is suicidal. She tells her doctor she wants to die but he just prescribes her more pills.

Dia explained it at one of her live performances.
