Monkey Brains Lyrics

Cover art for Monkey Brains lyrics by Our Lady Peace

"The monarch butterfly is a fascinating insect. I remember Ontario summers bursting with monarchs.

I was amazed to realize that it takes four generations of monarchs to migrate to a warmer climate and then return back for summer. Four generations!!! That goes beyond commitment. Monkey Brains is an ode to the monarch butterfly and it's incredible dedication."

Some of the lyrics don't seem to go along with this (even metaphorically), but it's still a cool little backstory.
