The fluttering about, the circling of a love interest, towards a relationship that is a “tunnel entangled in logic” that is to be explored further. In the larger context of the song, the butterfly is also used for a sense of motion. F(x)’s track mostly uses the white butterfly as their central image. Some take white butterflies to carry the dreams of people, it could mean spiritual change. Hey Yey Yeah Hey Yey Yeah white butterflyĪdditionally, while the white butterfly commonly symbolizes death, the white butterfly also means other things. I’ll spread my wings and fly around your embrace The butterfly imagery is used for a sense of motion in a love song that compares the love to a puzzle that is to be solved, one that only two people know the language of.įeeling like everything’s the first time like a child

In BTS’ “Butterfly,” they use the fragility of a butterfly. With Loona, it could be read in a literal way as a love song, without taking into account the symbolism of the butterfly. In BTS’ song, it is more of an overt love song. There is also f(x)’s “Butterfly” from their 2013 album, Red Light. If I let go of your hand, you’ll fly away and breakįragile and gently sung lyrics over a soft melody, befitting the nature of a butterfly. This flightiness is used in the song, with BTS asking for the love interest to stay even if they let go. A butterfly is not known for staying in one place for long, as they fly between flowers every several minutes or so. Your light touches, I forget the reality at onceįurthermore, there is also the verses that ask for promises of this love interest to stay, to not go away. You shine in this pitch darkness that is a butterfly effect The butterfly is used to compare to an unknown figure, a love interest, that is on fragile ground.įrom afar, I steal glances if we touch hands, will I lose you? “Butterfly” is a song about longing, it takes the fragility of a butterfly’s wings as the main image it invokes. While Loona’s is a song that is ultimately about change, BTS uses the butterfly in a different manner. Of course, there is also BTS’ “Butterfly” from their 2015 album, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Part 2. This fits in with the message of Loona’s track, as it is about those small steps towards a larger change. A small act can lead to a larger event, even if it takes a long time and seems insignificant. It means that something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico may become a hurricane in China.

The Butterfly Effect is part of the Chaos Theory. Sounds of winds blowing around my ears, wing Not only that, but they also take the Butterfly Effect and use it for their rap: It uses the imagery of butterfly wings to indicate travel. It is about moving away from where they currently are, towards a dream. Amidst the steady beat and the prolonged chorus, the song is simple in its lyrical message. The first song in this edition of Music and Lyrics is Loona’s “ Butterfly.” Released in February 2019, this is the girl group’s first comeback since their debut in 2018.
