""I want to fly I want to feel my life Still belongs to me No matter what I want to fly I want to flap my wings And cause a hurricane in your heart Butterflies Better lies than hate But I can't pretend anymore I'm tired of suppressing all of my needs I want to belong to the cloudless sky Not to the shaded ground But it's so hard to admit That I lived without your light Trying not to believe that I need it more Now the bleeding won't stop For I struggled through the barbed wire Trying not to believe that I need your love Trying not to believe in love I wanted to turn into a butterfly But I couldn't trust you enough I was tired of suppressing all of my needs I wanted to belong to the cloudless sky Not to the shaded ground But it's so hard to admit That I lived without your light Trying not to believe that I need it more Now the bleeding won't stop For I struggled through the barbed wire Trying not to believe that I need your love Trying not to believe in love But it got me now""

To me it resonates with a person in a relationship that feels like their love isn't being reciprocated (at least not to the same passion).
It could simply be that they feel the partner has now reached a stage where they are simply comfortable with them, but the passion / romance is gone.
I could imagine this describing a lot of marriages where one of the partners has reached the stage of thinking "is this it?" i.e. will the relationship blossom (become a butterfly) or are we forever going to remain caterpillars now? As good as it gets??
