Nobody's Supposed To Be Here

The speaker has been hurt by love and decides to stop looking for a relationship. She wants time to care for herself and believes she is done trying. Then someone new appears, and her feelings begin to change. The song moves between caution and attraction: she resists the possibility of love, yet admits that this person has made her reconsider.

“Under lock and key” is an image for keeping her heart guarded and avoiding emotional risk. “Love has knocked me down” suggests that past relationships have left her feeling wounded or defeated. The “black butterfly” may represent a person who has survived pain and is ready to change or open up; spreading her wings suggests taking a chance despite fear.

“Nobody’s supposed to be here” sounds less like a literal statement than an expression of surprise: she did not expect to meet someone who could affect her this way. The repeated promise that this is her last attempt at love also carries a hint of self-doubt, since she says she has made that promise before. The lyrics do not say whether this new relationship will last. They leave us with a speaker who is still wary, but newly willing to let herself feel something.
