This is one of those "Live fast, die while young" songs. A butterfly only lives a few days as a beautiful butterfly, most of its life it spends as uglier life forms. It develops the butterfly stage to find a mate and dies soon after mating. The song looks at life and love as something that can't last. Die while still happy, young and beautiful, don't wait until you're old, ugly and lonely. A very pessimistic song with no hope and the only positive thing in it is the capability to love, despite all the hurt and cynicism.

@lynxrattle it's kind of sad but I really like this. Thanx for the science lesson. I always thought they were very precious now I know why
