Butterflies

Song by Omawumi

4 mins • 2017

Omawumi’s song “Butterflies” is a song about the internal struggle and anxiety of unrequited love, using the common “butterflies” metaphor for nervous excitement, but in this case, it signifies the turmoil of loving someone unaware of her feelings, leading to despair and a desire to escape the painful, one-sided affection she experiences in dreams.
