I thouht the butterflies were metaphors for 'thoughts' and the connection was obvious because you know... it's in the lyrics? xD Was it offically mentioned somewhere to be 'issues/problem/etc' or is it meant to be 'up for interpretation'? I'm just curcious.

To explin my perspective: The terms 'Issues/problem/etc' make it sound serious and rather negative whereas thoughts are neuatral. Specifically, thoughts about the sitution, Ruby had only one clear thought and got over it whereas Sapphire and Connie had so many they got lost in them, heavily burdened by them, and didn't go away until they got over it (like Ruby) or seeked some type of confirmation/forgiveness?(like Sapphire and Connie). Then when Steven sees a butterfly, it is him having a 'thought' which quickly escalades into more later on the more he thinks about them.

'm not complaining or anything I just think it's amazing how diction can change the perspective for a person, like me, and I like how the show portrays evernything so well so I probably prefer their use of diction more - not good or bad, just neutral. Then again the very defination of problem is " a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome" and it's more than fitting.
