Butterfly Smoke
Reviving Hope: Butterfly Smoke's Resilient Journey
Lyrics
Did I see your smile
Reflecting on a moment of seeing a smile
When you burned down my home?
Questioning if the smile was witnessed during a destructive event
Did I hear you laugh?
Contemplating if laughter accompanied a lonely escape
As I ran away alone?
Recalling a situation of running away alone
He who has some fear
Exploring the notion that fear aids in survival
Will survive long, they said
Referencing the idea that endurance is tied to experiencing fear
No one tells me how
Expressing a lack of guidance on starting anew
How to start over instead
Seeking direction on how to begin again
(No one tells me how to start over instead)
Reiteration of the lack of guidance for starting over
Did I catch your eyes
Questioning if eye contact was made during a town's destruction
When you burned down my town?
Reflecting on a potential moment of joy amid destruction
A tiny glimpse of joy
Describing a small but possibly incorrect memory of joy
But I might remember wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of a memory
He, who's suffered some
Acknowledging that those who suffer may endure and persevere
Will make it through, they said
Reiterating the endurance of suffering as a means of survival
No one tells me how
Expressing a lack of guidance on how to restart with joy
How to smile again instead
Seeking direction on rediscovering joy after suffering
(No one tells me how to smile again instead)
Reiteration of the absence of guidance for finding joy again
Did I have to watch
Reflecting on the necessity of witnessing the destruction of one's world
As you destroyed my world?
Asking if smiling was required while kneeling in the dirt
Had to smile as I
Smiling despite the difficult situation of kneeling in dirt
Knelt down in the dirt
Recalling a moment of kneeling down in challenging circumstances
He, who's coming back from
Describing someone returning from the dead without choking
The dead and did not choke
Highlighting the potential for revival without succumbing to challenges
Might revive all by
Suggesting revival through the symbolic act of blowing butterfly smoke
Blowing butterfly smoke around
Connecting the act of blowing butterfly smoke to revival
(All around)
Reiteration of the expansive influence of butterfly smoke
I'm coming home
Announcing the return home
I'm coming home
Repeating the declaration of coming home
I'm coming home
Emphasizing the imminent return home
I'm coming home
Reiterating the forthcoming return home
I'm coming home
Affirming the impending arrival at home
I'm coming home
Expressing the determination to return home with company
I won't come alone
Declaring the decision not to return home alone
