Chasing Butterflies
Embracing Life's Journey: Chasing Butterflies' Meaning
Lyrics
Life is slipping away from my fingers
Expressing the feeling of losing grasp on life.
Can’t even tell where it goes
Uncertainty about the direction and destination of life.
But one thing I know for sure
Certainty about a decision to stop running from challenges.
I decided I can’t keep on running
Acknowledging a past pattern of avoiding challenges.
Something I’ve done before
Reflecting on a similar decision made before.
Oh, the young know it all, all?
Questioning the perceived arrogance of the young.
Is there a meaning to it all?
Pondering the existence of a deeper meaning in life.
(I might be dreaming, wake me up so I feel it)
Expressing a desire to be awakened to reality.
And would it change anything if so?
Contemplating the potential impact of change.
(I say I’m dreaming, only thing I believe in)
Asserting a belief in the power of dreams.
I am chasing butterflies, when I should live for the day, won’t let life pass me by
Choosing to pursue ephemeral pleasures rather than letting life pass unnoticed.
I’ve been chasing butterflies all my life
Metaphorically describing a lifelong pursuit of fleeting joys.
Same thing on my mind
Repetition of the pursuit, indicating a persistent theme in thoughts.
It’s not a question, it’s a quest
Stating that it's not a mere question but a challenging journey.
To my patience a test
Highlighting that patience is being tested during the quest.
At the end of the day, it’s what I do best
Emphasizing that the pursuit defines the individual.
Some say it’s an obsession, and others a lesson
Addressing differing perceptions of the pursuit as an obsession or a lesson.
To me it’s neither, it’s not like I think about it all day (all day, all day, all day!)
Rejecting the notion of constant preoccupation with the pursuit.
Not for the money, the power of fame
Clarifying that the pursuit is not driven by materialistic goals.
Believe it or not, I got something to say
Asserting that there is a meaningful message to convey.
I let life slip away from my fingers
Reiterating the sense of losing control over life.
Don’t even care where it goes
Indifference towards the unknown destination of life.
But one thing I know for sure
Reaffirming a decision to stop evading challenges.
I decided I won’t keep on running
Highlighting control over a specific aspect of life.
Something in my control
Clarifying the ability to influence a particular situation.
Oh, I finally can rest my soul
Expressing a sense of relief and peace in decision-making.
