This made me smile

From an interview with Ville Valo, lead singer of the Finnish rock band HIM:

***
MusicOMH.com: The new single, (Rip Out The) Wings Of A Butterfly, is very catchy and upbeat, but what's the title all about?

Ville: I have no idea what the f**k it's all about! [Laughs.] No, I read about some ancient myth or legend - I can't remember but it wasn't a Finnish one - saying that immortal souls have the wings of a butterfly. So I was thinking, for me, it was more about "rip out the wings of a butterfly for your soul". I was thinking: 'Are you willing to destroy your past and burn some bridges down to be able to step up to the next level, in a relationship or even spiritually?'

Now I get what the song is about Okay.


Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrafice

Come on and show
Them your love
Rip out the wings of A butterfly
For your soul
My love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your Soul

This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime

Come on and show
Them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
My love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
Don't let go,
Rip out the wings of a butterfly,
For your soul.

Come on and show
Them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
My love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
Don't let go
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul

Rip out the wings of a butterfly
Don't let go
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
