i think that this song is about his mom which was probably a drug addict then she was trying to get sober and win his forgiveness hence the song name the crow and the butterfly she was a drug addict chasing her son's love

My Interpretation

Brent Smith explained on a radio interview program, Rockline, that while the band was writing the new album, he had a dream about a mother whose son passes away. He wrote the song about the mother dealing with the death of her child and trying to move on.
