Lyric discussion by King of Some Island 

It goes hand and hand with the homeless idead but I think it may be about a heroin junkie. Even Flow means the heroin flowing into his veins and "butterflies" are what happens when he gets high.

that's my take on it as well.. people try to complicate things too much... butterflies are a rare and transcendent beauty in a disgusting and vile world that knows no compassion.. clearly the homeless person in this song can never seem to grasp that higher level of beauty or transcendence, so they float away like a butterfly as well.

@King of Some Island i guess very few people do this, but a song is about what the maker wrote it to be and then it is about what it means to you. couldn't it be possible that there is messages in songs coming to all people who hear them from all kind of sources sources with a mind or without.When I go to read the lyrics I get a better understanding of what it means to me

@King of Some Island I agree with @doug101402 in that each will interpret in their own way (depending on their life experiences and circumstances). I guess the thing is that if an artists wants a song to get across a particular / defined message than the lyrics need to be clear to that point. This song seems to leave some ambiguity and interpretation up to the listener.
