Lyrics
Papillon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing in that café,
Not knowing what to say.
Everyone was watching
But didn't see.
Every butterfly was watching
But didn't see.
"I wasn't sure
whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly,
or am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man."
~Zhuangzi (399 - 295 B.C.)
It is time for a new Belle Époque;
It is time for our absinthe-drenched dreams to breathe and dance
under the overcast gray canvas of our luminous skies.
