In the cocoon called “you”
I’ve been painstakingly weaving
For the day when I’ll leave this place
With the most beautiful wings
Overflowing tears have taught me
If I am to take flight, it’s now
Adieu, adieu, adieu
Ignorance is bliss, they say
But I’ve felt the sting of your needle in my heart
Crafting wings, setting me free
Leaving behind the empty shell, the irony
Just crying softly
Doesn’t suit these days at all
Thanks to that, as you can see
I’m a butterfly dancing through life
Saying “no” requires much more courage
Than saying “yes” ever will
But if in that moment, every moment
The world were to change
People shouldn’t give up on happiness
On pain, on sorrow
Adieu, adieu, adieu
Let’s stop clinging to fading memories
With every casual flutter of our wings
Let’s drastically change the direction of the future
I’m coming back, yes, I’m coming back
Passing through, yes, right through there
I’m coming back, yes, I’m coming back
Passing through, right there
I’ll return, I’ll pass through there
Letting the black and yellow freedom flutter
I’ll hatch, I’ll become a butterfly
Mixing poison into a spoonful of scales
If it’s such a precious opportunity
I want to give a stylish retaliation
So give it to me straight and strong
From today, I am a butterfly dancing through life
