Black Butterfly
Metamorphosis of a Soul: Embracing Change in Warren Vaché's Black Butterfly
Lyrics
You're a black butterfly
You possess qualities associated with a black butterfly.
With your wings frayed and torn,
Your wings are damaged and worn.
Laughter's your's so is scorn
You experience both laughter and scorn.
As they point to you in shame.
Others point at you in shame.
You're a black butterfly
You continue to be a black butterfly.
With your wings near fire,
Your wings are close to the fire.
But confess when your tire,
Yet, you admit when you're tired.
Is the candle worth the flame?
Questioning if the risks are worthwhile.
Your Queen of the Night
You are the Queen of the Night.
But with morning's early light
However, in the early morning light,
There's not a hear to really call your own;
You lack a genuine heart to call your own.
So before it's too late,
Warning to reconsider before it's too late.
Change your ways and repent,
Suggesting a need for change and repentance.
Take my love that was meant
Offering love meant for the black butterfly.
For black butterfly along.
Reiterating the intended love for the black butterfly.
You're a black butterfly
Repeating the description of being a black butterfly.
With your wings frayed and torn,
Reiterating the state of damaged wings.
Laughter's your's so is scorn
Reiterating the experience of laughter and scorn.
As they point to you in shame.
Reiterating the societal judgment and shame.
You're a black butterfly
Repeating the metaphor of proximity to fire.
With your wings near fire,
Reiterating the acknowledgment of tiredness.
But confess when your tire,
Raising the question of whether the risks are justified.
Is the candle worth the flame?
Recalling the proximity to the flame.
Your Queen of the Night
Reaffirming the identity as the Queen of the Night.
But with morning's early light
Reiterating the absence of a true heart.
There's not a hear to really call your own;
Reiterating the loneliness in the morning light.
So before it's too late,
Warning of the urgency to change.
Change your ways and repent,
Reiterating the call for change and repentance.
Take my love that was meant
Reiterating the offer of love meant for the black butterfly.
For black butterfly along.
Expressing the persistent love for the black butterfly.
