Her song 'BUTTERFLIES,' what does it MEAN!?


I just heard her song called "butterflies." My friend and I have been arguing because she thinks its about committing suicide or something like death but I think its somewhat about love and how you get butterflies in your stomach. Can someone solve our arguement and help us understand what the hell song means!!!!!!

This is from the US press release for White Lilies Island -

"Butterflies" is about that sinking, glass-half-empty feeling, where you know things aren't working out, but there's no turning back", she says. "It's a depressing take on it, but everyone's been there."

So basically it's about the depressing end of a relationship, when you just know things aren't working out anymore.
