“Wings of a Butterfly” is specifically a trans girl anthem.
Azealia Banks wrote this song about her own personal metamorphosis.
From darkness to light and from ignorance to enlightenment: a journey to self-love.
The writing process was deeply emotional and made Azealia realize that coming into her own as a woman is akin to a caterpillar’s journey to becoming a butterfly: the uncertainty and loneliness of the cocoon stage, then the marvel of your own wings in flight.
Azealia Banks – Wings Of A Butterfly
[Intro]
Hello, hello
[Verse 1]
Everyone knows my name from New York City to California
I’m a fucking all star, baby
Can’t you tell by the way I’m walking?
And the way I’m talking
And the way I’m talking
All the boys go crazy, yeah
All the boys go crazy for me
All the boys go crazy, yeah
All the boys go crazy for me
[Bridge]
Don’t lie, you still got my fucking back
While you’re with your new girlfriend
Gonna break her little heart again
Little boy, you better make some friends
Huh, huh
[Verse 2]
Soaring past the sunrise
Coloring the sky and wind left behind me
Gliding through the blooming meadow
Beauty all around, all around me
Marigold and honeysuckle
Daisy dukes of daffodil yellow
I could see the surfers surfing
As we fly above, the ocean
Re-emerging from the darkness
Beauty all around, all around me
There’s beauty all around, all around me
Boy, jump on
I’ll take you for a ride up on my butterfly wings
We can go up in the sky, there’s clouds of ice cream
Pick your favorite flavor boy, just stay beside me
Hold on tight, I’ll take you higher
[Outro]
Oi!
