And is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried?

Tori Amos is a singer-songwriter known for her poetic lyrics and haunting melodies. One of her most famous songs, "Silent All These Years," contains the line, "And is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried?" This line speaks to the idea of society's tendency to objectify and commodify beauty, turning something living and vibrant into a lifeless decoration.
