HIM- Wings of A Butterfly Lyrics

[@2_1nfinity]

Not too many black folks from the ghetto like rock but I was one of the ones that did and in 8th grade this kid named mike (I knew like 5 mikes) showed me this song and havent left since . We even had matching heartagram shirts. We dont talk anymore now (since we're both 26 & doing things in life now) but if I ever see him again it's an automatic H.I.M reunion

[@hollyparry1210]

Most unforgettable song ever! Greatest and most intense feeling to listen too. Truly remarkable and chilling. Greatest one ever!!!!

[@EJCatoz]

This song takes me back when I was 15 years old. High School days

[@dmorgan0628]

+Eric Catozzi Same

[@falloutuniverse7713]

Not the only one.

[@tallfang4955]

+Eric Catozzi Dude...

[@lordhelmit1499]

+Eric Catozzi Yup, 14 years old 8th grade for me. I remember falling in love with that riff. 11 years later, still love the riff.

[@RearrangeGinger]

+Eric Catozzi My thoughts exactly

[@gabrielroberson6601]

2021 and this song still hits. Love it. Wish they came out with more 🎵...

[@SuperStar-lb8gf]

I admit there were some songs and bands I missed during my high school life. But I wish I heard this song sooner! It's like drama sadness and beauty put together that strikes your heart like an arrow!

[@ronb2008]

Man this takes me back, I even remember the skip at 3:08 that all the downloaded versions had 😭

[@VikingFyre]

Wow this is so crazy. Haven’t heard this song since I was a goth in middle school.

[@DavidMartinez-rn4hb]

I still hear this at work and still bangs ! WELCOME TO SADDLE RANCH ! WEST HOLLYWOOD SUNSET 💯

[@michaelvondrake7489]

It's a metaphor for the stop Floating or Fluttering around and focus on life but also to Mate. A butterflies lifestyle is nearing its end when it mates. It's wings often fall off just before it dies.

[@mpeknyc]

thank you, I was wondering what he meant lol 🖤

[@Void170]

This comment almost made me cry for the poor butterflies...

[@mystic_tacos]

I've never seen a wingless butterfly body

[@peekaboo6102]

This song Was my Wife and i my life saying when events got tough.

[@natyknatyk2335]

1:44- 1:57 and 2:51- 3:05 the sound of his voice beats right into the hearts and then through veins goes to your brain and stays there for countless reproductions all day... every day... always!!!

[@alexisking69]

my grandpa who passed away. refused to buy me this cd when i was like 12 or 13 cuz he went into hot topic to get it and said no since it said "rip out the wings of a butterfly" he got scared 😂😂 ill never forget that moment & im going to be 28 this year.

[@sammywilliam8156]

Go tell Grandpa to watch a movie where they stick nails into a guy's arms and legs he'll love it❤

[@RobertHadley-v9h]

Your grandpa was a weak little girl 😂😂😂

[@Metalviking18]

Him kicks fucking ass man. This is literally my favorite song by them.

[@germangonzales2008]

I remember when this song came out, on MTV2 it would always play with Hypnotize by SOAD and Coming Undone by Korn. This song got me into "actual" music. The 5th grader in me appreciates that. 15 years later, it's still as beautiful as I remember it, that intro, those lyrics. I'm in love.

[@kennethostrer735]

Possibly the greatest riff in history. Sent from the heaven

[@ariannasmith6491]

Facts!

[@jacobadam6804]

Ummm.....no, I don't think so 😂 It's good, but very basic.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

@@jacobadam6804 but still good ,

[@jacobadam6804]

@@michaelhawkins7389 I agree. That’s why I said in my comment that it was good.

[@RandomGuy-yf4wf]

I doubt that. 0:31 "heaven ablaze in our eyes" this one is clear, they're overthrowing heaven, 0:41 "blood on our hands is the wine, we offer a sacrifice", in christianity, wine is treated as Jesus's blood, so the blood of Jesus is on their hands, 0:51 ripping the wings probably means taking away his freedom, his holiness and all kinds of shit. Then you have their logo, which is an incomplete pentagram, which can also be interpreted as a hearth inside a pentagram, which shows band's love for Satan. It could be sent from heaven if the heaven's already been overthrown, but really, as if any of that's real.

[@CamberLynn05]

My husband and I have been together for 14 years and this song reminds me of us when we first starting dating ❤️ so many memories ✨🌹😭

[@andrewthies1828]

Its nice to know it can still work for someone.blessings.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Ikr. I keep blowing up the comments bc this song is dope :/. So dope, im all in my headphones, & the pitt was actually careful to not trip on them and actually let me be. I had to love on her for that and of course that was an invitation for her aggressively smother me like she usually does

[@CamberLynn05]

Now 17 years together ❤ and this is still our song 🥰

Timeless song.

[@HomeEdit234]

[@silviafernandaa.5058]

Quick question...what does he mean with "rip out the wings of a butterfly? To break her wings or open them and fly free? Sorry I still learning English 😁 but I used to love this song even before understand learned the basics.

[@poisonempress]

every now and again I get this urge to listen to music I haven't heard since I was a teen, nostalgic!

[@adamfowler5475]

This is one of those songs to me, that everyone else should just leave the room and leave me alone to bask in.

[@theotherhouse5910]

Adam Fowler exactly what I was thinking

[@Whitejewelsdragon9]

This takes me back when I was 4 ......still have those three albums for HIM

[@leoniebennett4411]

Still so good. I'm listening now. He is absolutely one of the sexiest men alive... Still to this day.

[@hashslingingslasher3083]

@@mattmatonek3251 I got to see them live in Birmingham back in 2017 which was their final performance right before he killed himself. I was considering not to go too so it’s probably the best decision I’ve made in my life. I’ll never forget when he sang Breaking The Habit, my personal favourite song of all time. He really looked distressed while he was singing, there’s a live upload of the video on KZbin.
