Lyrics
Oh pink lady
Expressing address to a mysterious or significant figure referred to as "Pink Lady."
Don't shape shift
Advising "Pink Lady" not to change or transform.
Creep in through my fingertips
Describing a subtle, mysterious entrance into the speaker's life.
Can't sleep I'll watch the moon drift
Unable to sleep, observing the movement of the moon.
Side to side
Describing the movement of "Pink Lady" from east to west.
She moves east to west
Suggesting a challenging journey through rapids and the need for rest.
Run you through the rapids
Mentioning different expressions ("oh my lanta," "oh my God") related to surprise or disbelief.
Tough men might need some rest
Reflecting on attempts to redefine things and asserting the ability to defy odds.
Some say oh my lanta
Reiterating the speaker's perspective.
Some say oh my God
Expressing the shared pursuit of experiencing the joy of life ("butterflies").
Try to redefine it all
Inviting someone to sit beside and emotionally support the speaker.
But we define the odds
Focusing on finding positivity in a quiet night.
Yeah and I say
Expressing a commitment to create lasting memories and move forward without looking back.
We're only in it for the butterflies
Asserting readiness for any conflict or challenge.
Sit beside me and hold my brain
Describing a desire to be valued or acknowledged in someone's life.
Try to see the brighter side of a silent night
Expressing uncertainty and confusion, leading to sleepless nights.
Cause we're making memories forget you
Reiterating the commitment to face challenges head-on.
You could leave me on the other side of sane
Warning that pursuing war will result in confrontation.
If it's war you want it's war you'll get so
Repeating the determination to confront challenges.
Yeah and I said
Expressing a desire for a significant role or recognition in someone's life.
Oh oh oh to be a prince in your hall
Describing the tendency for individuals to boast about their abilities without substance.
To lie awake cause I'm clueless
Skepticism about others claiming to have wisdom or knowledge.
Oh oh oh everyman fit to talk a good brawl
Referencing different aspects of life, such as colors or speech.
Like he could teach me a thing or two
Repeating the shared pursuit of joy and positive experiences.
Bout black or blue or slack jawed
Encouraging the release of emotional baggage and embracing peace.
We're only in it for the butterflies
Symbolic suggestion to surrender and seek peace, represented by white flags.
Sit beside me and hold my brain
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to peace and letting go.
Try to see the brighter side of a silent night
Final expression of surrender and acceptance.
Cause we're making memories forget you
Conclusion emphasizing the decision to let go of emotional burdens.
You could leave me on the other side of sane
Final declaration of acceptance and moving forward.
If it's war you want it's war you'll get so
Expressing relief and readiness to embrace a new chapter.
I said
Conclusion of the song with a reaffirmation of letting go.
It's time to let the butterflies go
Final statement expressing the need to release emotional baggage.
White flags wave me on home
Symbolic reference to surrender and returning home with a sense of peace.
I said oh
Repetition of the speaker's surrender and acceptance.
