Lyrics
She breaks the vows and turns to cast a stone
She has broken promises and accuses others.
I'm lashing out in desperation's way
Expressing frustration and acting out in desperation.
A lovely child is peering from the hall
A child is innocently observing from a distance.
He holds his tongue and sadly looks away
Someone remains silent and sadly averts their gaze.
Visions in my mind again of
Recalling visions of innocence that are hard to defend.
innocence I can't defend
Unable to defend the purity of those visions.
Wings are shown, the chrysalis has grown
A metaphorical transformation has occurred; change is evident.
The butterflies have flown
The transformation is complete; freedom is achieved.
The stone- it drags me to the deep
Feeling weighed down and dragged into a difficult situation.
She hides the truth inside another lie
Deception is concealed within another falsehood.
Time marching on, the boy is petrified of tender beauty lurking just outside
Time progresses, and a young person fears the allure of beauty.
Visions that I can't forget
Memories that are haunting and cannot be erased.
Decisions that I now regret
Regretting past decisions that impact the present.
He sees the butterflies and gently moans
Witnessing the beauty but feeling isolated and melancholic.
He feels so all alone...
Experiencing a deep sense of loneliness.
The trial that comes, eleventh hour nears
Facing a crucial moment or decision as time runs out.
The future clouded in a veil of doubt
An uncertain future, clouded by doubt and confusion.
My only hope for you, my loving child,
A parental wish for their child to appreciate the beauty around them.
is that you see the beauty in the sky
Encouraging the child to see the beauty in the world.
Disappointment with myself,
Expressing disappointment for neglecting personal issues.
for putting problems on the shelf
Regret for not addressing problems earlier.
Hopefully you'll feel my love,
Hoping the love is felt despite personal shortcomings.
and comfort in what flies above
Finding solace in the beauty that exists above.
Visions in my mind again of
Reiterating visions of innocence that are challenging to defend.
innocence I can't defend
Continuing to grapple with the difficulty of preserving innocence.
Wings are shown, the chrysalis has grown
Confirming the completion of a transformative process.
The butterflies have flown
The freedom and beauty have been realized and embraced.
