Exploring the darker side of human nature, this track is a haunting reflection on destructive tendencies. "Killing Butterflies" uses the metaphor of butterflies to represent beautiful, delicate things or relationships that are ruined by harmful actions. The repetitive phrase 'killing butterflies' emphasizes how these destructive patterns can become compulsive and addictive. The lyrics suggest that despite knowing the damage they cause, individuals may continue engaging in these behaviors due to an insatiable 'appetite'. The reference to staying up all night could symbolize restlessness or guilt associated with these actions. Ultimately, this song serves as a poignant commentary on self-destruction and regret.
Killing Butterflies
Lyrics
All the things we've seen
They just make us scream
Now they're in our dreams
Open up the box
Now it never stops
Full of little shocks
Wings, hearts, some things are meant to be torn apart
Faith, hope, some things are meant to be gone broke
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
We stay up all night killing butterflies
(I'm killing, I'm killing, I'm killing, I'm killing)
Fly on back to me
Get your sweet relief
Shiver like a leaf
Once you take a piece
With your big old teeth
You will never sleep, no
Wings, hearts, some things are meant to be torn apart
Faith, hope, some things are meant to be gone broke
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
We stay up all night killing butterflies
(I'm killing, I'm killing, I'm killing, I'm killing)
(Killing, killing) Maybe it's my fault we've been up all night
(Killing, killing) Only thing we have is our appetite
(Killing, killing) Just a little more to stabilise
Every, every night killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies
We stay up all night
Killing, killing- killing- killing butterflies
Killing, killing- killing- killing butterflies
Killing, killing- killing- killing butterflies
We stay up all night killing butterflies
