Lyric discussion by pauljaymq 

This song is about taking action to be better, NOW. Whatever you need to change, CHANGE IT, even if it means changing everything you are. It also asks you to change who you were, dont let your past keep you from being who you can be. JUST CHANGE...break any chains. You've got to be the best version of you that you can dream of.

The title Butterflies and Hurricanes refers to the famous quote "when a butterfly flaps its wings in one place, it can create a hurricane in another part of the world".

Every action causes a reaction and that reaction causes another reaction. Each and everyone of us, can change. And maybe the one thing you change in your self, can start a chain of events that in the end changes the world and saves it. Maybe a small change you make in your life inspires someone to make a bigger change and so forth. One small change can have so many unplanned for repercussions and can make all the difference. Just such an inspiring idea full of hope and faith in each of us.. MUSE sing the whole song to YOU.

Change everything your are Dont let yourself down You've got to change the world Your time is NOW.

I made an account just to reply to this post, haha. I see how this song could be interpreted in several ways and that's part of its greatness. However agree with your interpretation 100%! It feels great to see the song made some else feel the same way
