“Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you’ll be.” The song, “Butterfly fly away” by Miley Cyrus, is about become who you are based on how you grew up or were raised. The way Miley uses metaphors and personification help me really feel and understand the song.

“Don’t you worry, hold on tight. / I promise you there will come a day / Butterfly fly away,” is an example of a metaphor to show how she compared herself to a butterfly. By saying “butterfly fly away,” it means that she’s growing up and leaving home. She’s done relying on her parents. Using metaphors help the listeners get a feel of what she’s trying to say.

By Miley using personification, it gives the song a little character. “And yes dear, you don’t understand / It’s not anything we planned”. This line in the song is showing that she’s talking to her self but as a butterfly, hence personification. It shows personification because she’s talking to something as if it were a person.

This song is very sweet and sentimental. I feel that it’s very comforting, talking about the bond between father and daughter. “Kept me safe and sound at night /
little girls depend on things like that.” These two lines show how they bonded each and every day. In each line she describes everything so well; you can feel what she feels and that’s one of the things I really like about this song and many of her other songs.

“Butterfly fly Away” by Miley Cyrus uses metaphors, personification, and feelings to show her thoughts about her childhood. This is important because with out having them, not only this song, but other songs wouldn’t be as important to people.
