Butterfly

Story Behind The Song

The song was inspired by a friend of mine that committed suicide. To understand his motives I found myself writing a song from his point of view, his feelings and his essence. When it is written "No one left to know". was his decision about the futility of existence. It is a sad but beautiful song to me that touches at the core of existence.

Song Description

The song is about a human being who decides to leave all he knows behind. He/she lets go of what they used to hold most dear and are realizing their "destination. Nothing left to do, nothing left to say but "I have turned into a butterfly..."

Lyrics

Standing in the middle of the highway
No where left to go
Seen through too many people
No one left to know

Pre-chorus 1:
I?ve packed my bags
I?m heading off home
Don?t know where that is
But I?m going there alone

Chorus 1:
And all that now is left to do is say goodbye
Touch your lips and whisper you a lullaby
I?ve turned into a butterfly
I bid you goodbye
Into a butterfly

Verse 2:
Now my eyes are open
I see everything
No more chasing shadows
Or thinking what could?ve been

Pre-chorus 2:
I?ve packed my bags..

Chorus 2:
And all that now is left to do?

Bridge:
I I?m lying here
I?m flying there
I?m seeing light
I?m touching air
I?m living you
I?m moving through
Just passing to
Anywhere
Everywhere

Chorus 3 (shortened):

And all that now is left to do is say goodbye
Touch your lips and whisper you a lullaby

Chorus 4:

And all that now is left to do is say goodbye
Touch your lips and whisper you a lullaby
I?ve turned into a butterfly x3
I bid you goodbye
Into a butterfly
