Caterpillar Chords by Florence Road
Written & produced by Dan Nigro & Ryan Linvill. The track was released on 23 April 2025.
How beautifully the song has been crafted with the process of growing gradually in life, referring to the life of a caterpillar. The song delves into themes of emotional vulnerability, self-doubt, and the internal struggles that accompany personal growth. The recurring metaphor of a “caterpillar hatching in my chest” poignantly / painful represents the discomfort and transformation inherent in confronting one’s innermost feelings.
