Goodbye Sister Butterfly
Journey Through Dreams: Goodbye Sister Butterfly's Symbolic Odyssey
Lyrics
Goodbye Sister Butterfly
Parting salutation to Sister Butterfly
Goodbye Brother Tree
Bidding farewell to Brother Tree
Take me to the other side
Desire to transition to another realm
Down here in a dream
Current state in a dreamlike condition
It's midnight at the waterline
Time reference: midnight at the waterline
In NWT
Location reference: Northwest Territories (NWT)
Goodbye SB
Reiteration of bidding farewell to Sister Butterfly
I know a man who swallowed a country, we followed him to the peak
Introduction of a man who symbolically "swallowed" a country
We were tired, so long in the forest
Collective journey following the man to a peak
He dreamed of birds so we sang in the trees
Shared dream of birds in the trees
Goodbye Sister Butterfly
Repeat of bidding farewell to Sister Butterfly
Goodbye brother tree
Repeat of bidding farewell to Brother Tree
take me to the other side
Reiteration of the desire to transition to another realm
Down here in a dream
Reiteration of the dreamlike state
It's midnight at the waterline
Reiteration of time reference: midnight at the waterline
In NWT
Reiteration of location reference: NWT
Goodbye SB
Reiteration of bidding farewell to Sister Butterfly
I know a man who swallowed a country, we followed him to the sea
Introduction of a man who symbolically "swallowed" a country again, this time to the sea
We were drunk so long at the party
Collective experience of being intoxicated at a party
He drove all night in his Chevy Capris
Man's action of driving all night in a Chevy Capris
Goodbye Sister Butterfly
Repeat of bidding farewell to Sister Butterfly
Goodbye brother tree
Repeat of bidding farewell to Brother Tree
take me to the other side
Reiteration of the desire to transition to another realm
Down here in a dream
Reiteration of the dreamlike state
It's midnight at the waterline
Reiteration of time reference: midnight at the waterline
In NWT
Reiteration of location reference: NWT
Goodbye SB
Reiteration of bidding farewell to Sister Butterfly
I know a man who swallowed an ocean, he let us swim on the reef
Introduction of a man who symbolically "swallowed" an ocean, allowing others to swim on the reef
We were hungry so long in the water
Collective experience of hunger in the water
He dreamed of fish and created the sea
Man's dream of fish and creation of the sea
