With the recent release of Weezer's new CD "Raditude," I've been talking with people about my favorite and least favorite Weezer songs. I already did a post about my favorites, but one song does stick out in my mind.
Now, musically, it's not a bad song. I actually like the music in the song.
It's the lyrics that make me question what the song is about, and when you really think of it, how utterly creepy it is.
That song is "Butterfly" from the second CD "Pinkerton."
Here are the lyrics and pay close attention to them:
Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away
The ghost slips away
Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
I'm a dog then you're a b***h
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away
The ghost slips away
I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
See, creepy.
