ACHING TO

[@NatashaGengler]

Pupate means to become a pupa. Pupa is the stage between larvae and adult in insects.

[@indesicive3]

Aching to pupate Aching to pup-p-p-pate [repeats 4x] Pu-pupate, pu pate, Pu-pate, pu-pupate, pu pa-ate? I should peddle butterflies There's a shortage in the city, I'll stand on the street corner All mysterious and giddy, When the passers by pass by I will open up my trenchcoat, They will see the butterflies Dangling like fake rolexes? Every morning I wake up With a purpose and a smirk I'll put on my fake mustache I'll drink Heineken eat cornflakes? Then I'll call my mum and dad Tell them that I'm doing fine, Or I'll write a tipsy letter To a real good friend of mine, Or I'll jump upon the bed Waltzing madly with the broomstick But before I leave the house I will paint my lips with lipstick? But peddling is a dirty sport There's competition in the city, Everyone is on a street corner All mysterious and giddy. Some are selling bags and shoes, Some are selling books and gold, I've been standing here for days Not one butterfly's been sold? And how I'm Aching to pupate Aching to pup-p-p-pate (repeats 4x) Pu-pu-pate, pupate, Pupate, pu-pu-pate, pu pa-ate.

FINALLY someone downloaded this! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@briannastypayhorlikson1399]

I love this song,it's so inspirational

[@NatalieNataconda]

@lesmurfsxchu In most general terms, it means "to change" This song is about her wanting to change, grow up, develop.

[@MrBlueChalk]

if this wasnt Regina it would be a joke, but she makes it work

[@HaysoosLovesYou]

I like your answer best, because you included the symbolism behind it :)

[@beinghappyness5052]

Reminds me of the Requiem from Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind (1984)... Cute words and feels though!

[@ScreenLa]

Watching in 2023 🥰

[@VARAWK]

If one’s voice memos of improvised song ideas were cohesive

[@alexmartin6365]

Is this song on Spotify? I can't seem to find it.

[@XxReginaMoLoAxX]

[@babyboo7322]

I am this song...

[@Lulubellwilley]

@lesmurfsxchu To pupate, to enter the pupal stage, to change from a small thing into a greater thing, to go through puberty and experience tumultuous changes both physically and emotionally and hopefully end up for the better when you step out of it.

[@AliciaBaldelli]

@lesmurfsxchu Pupate means to go through a stage, mature, become older. Like a pupa becomes a butterfly :)

[@cousinsara]

I would most certainly buy a butterfly

[@oohmama1234]

WOW

[@shannonb7255]

pupa pan?

[@riuknight4595]

[@TimeLifeSomeone]

@lesmurfsxchu Pupate is one of the stages of growth for a bug/ larva like thing.

[@AltaRepublic]

@AlvinLeeIsGod I agree completely... I went on this diet years ago and I now ponder mathematical theories while bench pressing. :)

[@tessareea]

Pupate: To become a pupa, the stage between larva and adult.

[@klaaren123]

[@Tinkhannah98]
