Parang isang paruparo
Naghihintay sa oras ko
Lumabas sa tunay na ako
At ipakita ito sa mundo
Written last 2021, “Paruparo” goes beyond music. It’s a deep dive into life’s ups and downs, especially when we’re figuring ourselves out. It asks about growing up, staying the same, and striving for more. Using a caterpillar in a cocoon as a symbol, the song talks about changing outside and inside. It shows how our personal changes connect to life’s bigger shifts. It says that to change our lives, we have to change ourselves first. That means letting go of what holds us back and bravely facing the unknown.
The song tells the story of a caterpillar becoming a graceful creature with wings. It’s a powerful way to talk about how we go through different stages in life—like growing, starting over, and finding new ways to thrive.
Lene Asuncion wrote this during lockdown, taking time to look deep inside herself. That tough time helped her learn a lot, and those lessons are in “PARUPARO.” The song isn’t just music; it’s a reminder for everyone to think about who they are and what they want as life keeps changing.
Thank you Lene for blessing our ears with this captivating song. We are reminded that it’s normal to be afraid of change. Change is a beautiful opportunity to discover yourself and grow as well. Like a butterfly, let’s learn to spread our wings and embrace whatever life has to offer. Live life to the fullest with God as our guide.
