BUTTERFLY
by Earl Grey
Lyrics by Yukito
Music by Earl Grey
in the spider's web, continuing to dance
the self-torturing butterfly's body
scattering the sleeping powder
it will take someone with it....
the spider*, suspended in midair with a dark grey needle
the spider*, suspended in midair will anesthetize me
the spider*, suspended in midair with a dark grey needle
the spider*, suspended in midair impales me
"hey am I to remain prostrated like this?"
eternal crucifixion
"hey can I not fly away?"
the butterfly specimen will not sleep
* although this is written in the lyrics book as 'kumo' (spider), here Yukito actually sings 'kimi' (you) instead. So Yukito is comparing the figurative 'you' to the spider he's written about.. gives the song a whole new dimension like that, don't you think? ^^
