Dead by April - As A Butterfly

"As A Buttlerfly" No, I just refuse to believe my eyes In front of me something I can't recognize You stood beside me all my life The heart machines are ticking I can hear the life support pumping The line between life and death doesn't become any clearer than this Cover with an oxygen mask These words will be his last With the energy he's got left He turns to me and say I can not stand by you Till the end of the world like I said I would do No, I wont be able to help you carry the weight Of the world my time has come Silent as a butterfly I'll be flying beside you watching above you Silent as a butterfly All of a sudden I've lost my strength Isn't it scary how things can change It made an instant just like that Whenever I have questions You always have the answers You told me about life and the importance of being yourself What you are, you value honesty How not to lose grip of reality With both your feet on the ground I can not stand by you Till the end of the world like I said I would do No, I wont be able to help you carry the weight Of the world my time has come Silent as a butterfly I'll be flying beside you watching above you Silent as a butterfly. You weren't supposed to see me like this and I'm sorry I would say It's not true but I will see you soon Far away... I can not stand by you Till the end of the world like I said I would do No, I wont be able to help you carry the weight Of the world my time has come Silent as a butterfly I'll be flying beside you watching above you Silent as a butterfly.

Just started listening to them even more! I used to listen a little to them as a kid but then got tired of them, then i discovered their later albums and i got totally hooked! Saw them for the first time a few weeks ago in Karlstad front row and got Pontus pick, now I'm going to see them in Strömstad again this month!

Hello, as a European and Mediterranean champion in karate, i have to add and admit that you are absolutely right. in martial arts generally using your core (kime) and try to yell at the right moment when the strike is on the spot, then the hit empowers itself by 10-15 % it takes time to learn but dead by April do it like its nothing :D !!! thanks in advance (this is science it is not from my mind )

The chorus is what I think my daughter wanted to say to me when I held her til she went cold and left me here alone in this shitty world. Every now and then a monarch Butterfly will land on me and I get the goosebumps all over and feel like she's next to me and look over and a cardinal flies into a tree in backyard and sings away. She lets me know she is still here with me and helping me get thru the days. I miss you Ember Lou. Save me a spot in your mansion sweet pea. Daddy will always love you.

Shouldn't people understand the lyrics? I know dba is hard but both screamers you can actually understand what they're saying unlike other metal pop bands

[@ricsim78]

It is strange, when I first heard Dead By April, I did not like the yelling and such. But there was something that kept me listening and now they are one of my favorite bands ever. Forever underrated, yet so amazing.

@liamjeffparaz4871 I like a lot of their stuff, I Prevail. ANNISOKAY, Project Vela. Imminence, In Flames, and Bad Omens, to name just a few of the bands I really like. As has been stated, the contrast between the smooth vocals and yelling is actually cool once you get used to it and understand why it is there. Good suggestion, thank you. Take a look at my favorite song playlist and you will likely see a lot of songs you would like and that have this contrast.

I really don't understand how people can say they loved DBA with the old members but hate it now. It is still the same type of lyrics (because Pontus still writes them) and music. Yes I liked the sound of Jimmie better, but Christoffer is a great singer too. Overall the music barely changed imo. I still love their music and I'm just happy they didn't quit the band after the hard time they had with Jimmie. I'm looking forward to a lot more DBA songs/albums!!!

I love how Zandro and Stoffe's lyrics represent two different POVs here. Zandro's lyrics represent somebody who's on death's door, reassuring Stoffe that even though he'll be gone, he'll always be there for him even in spirit. "As A Butterfly". Stoffe represents the anguish of somebody near and dear to Zandro, dealing with all the emotions that come from losing somebody. Underrated lyricism from DBA! Sending love from the UK ❤

What is so interesting to me about this band is that, usually I don't like screemo music at all. However, this band has a unique side to them that I like. The way they put there music together with that techno like sound make it sound soo fantasy like. It's just sooooo cool :D This is one of my favourite song from this band.

[@Luna523]

So, i lost my brother on August 28th, 2022. On our way to his burial, my dad said a monarch butterfly followed him into his vehicle and sat on his shoulder. Then, when we got to my brothers burial site, the butterfly followed my dad to my brothers casket and then flew away. My dad ended up getting a monarch butterfly tattoo'ed ln his hand. A few weeks ago, my best friend showed me this song with absolutely no knowledge of the situation that happened to my dad. I cried, and i cried so hard....i felt like it was a sign, so I told my best friend the story, and she was in awe. So this upcoming Saturday, i will be getting a butterfly tattoo'ed on me as well.
