Yearning Echoes: Navigating Heartache with Jay Portal's 'Butterflies'
Lyrics
Been about a year now
It has been approximately a year since a significant event or a breakup.
Can't stop thinking of you
The person is constantly preoccupied with thoughts of someone else.
But when I do, I feel nauseous
Thinking about this person causes feelings of nausea or discomfort.
Been about a year now
Reiterating that a year has passed since the mentioned event.
Butterflies are still around
The feeling of butterflies (nervousness or excitement) still exists despite the time passed.
I wonder when they'll crawl out and fly away
Anticipating when these nervous feelings will dissipate.
Can't seem to get by
Struggling to cope or move forward.
I might as well hide away alone
Considering isolating oneself from others due to emotional pain.
Cross my broken heart and hope to die
An oath to emphasize the sincerity of one's feelings (hyperbolically).
There's nothing left for me baby, yeah
Expressing a feeling of emptiness or lack of purpose without the other person.
Letting go
Attempting to release the attachment or emotions tied to the person.
Its not as easy as I thought
Realizing that letting go is more challenging than anticipated.
Dreaming of you all night long
Experiencing dreams about the person throughout the night.
Waking me up
The dreams disrupt sleep and cause waking up.
In the pit of my stomach
Feeling intense emotions, possibly anxiety, in the stomach area.
The bugs are crawling around
Metaphorically describing the intense emotional turmoil as bugs crawling.
All i want is to be left alone
Desiring solitude and isolation due to emotional distress.
I know you don't want me
Understanding that the other person doesn't reciprocate the same feelings.
It's okay
Accepting the situation or rejection.
I won't change
Stating an unwillingness to change oneself despite the circumstances.
But these butterflies wont ever leave me the fuck alone
Expressing frustration that the feeling of nervousness or butterflies persists despite the desire for it to go away.
Been about a year now
Reiteration that it's been about a year since the emotional event.
Can't stop thinking of you
Continued inability to stop thinking about the person.
But when I do, I feel nauseous
Experiencing nausea or discomfort when thoughts about the person arise.
Been about a year now
Confirming the passage of time since the emotional event.
Butterflies are still around
Despite the time passed, the nervous or excited feeling still exists.
I wonder when they'll crawl out and fly away
Wondering when these intense feelings will subside.
Can't seem to get by
Struggling to cope or move on without the person.
I might as well hide away alone
Considering isolation as a coping mechanism.
Cross my broken heart and hope to die
Emphasizing the depth of one's emotions (hyperbolically).
There's nothing left for me baby, yeah
Expressing a feeling of having nothing left without the other person.
