| HIM – Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
First of all can anyone else confirm that HIM didnt originally stand for His Infernal Majesty? If it does indeed stand for His Infernal Majesty that right there says that they do worship the devil and this is probably what they are singing about. Heaven ablaze in our eyes We're standing still in time The blood on our hands is the wine We offer as sacrifice I think they are saying in these verses that Heaven is ablaze in their eyes because they have committed a very bad crime. Time is standing still while God looks down on them and they turn away from God by offering the blood from their crime as a sacrifice to the devil. 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 I think the chorus is the clearest part of the song. It probably means something along this line. Come on and show them your love for me(the devil). The rip out the wings of a butterfly is a metaphor. The butterfly represents something good(best example is an angel) and the ripping out the wings is having to do with doing something to that good thing to ruin it or at least show that u dont respect that thing or hate it. This endless mercy mile We're crawling side by side With hell freezing over in our eyes Gods kneel before our crime I think these verses mean that: They are crawling this endless mercy mile(the path to hell), side by side(so there was 2 or more people involved in the crime). With hell freezing over in our eyes is probably one of those things where someone would say that that will happen when hell freezes over and so the crime or whatever they have done would happen when hell froze over. And the final line is basically a form of trickery in a lie. God would never kneel before a evil crime...this is said to lure people into thinking that the devil is the supreme ruler when in reality he is not. Well thats my 2 cents....im not saying i hate this song...I love the catchy tune, i just dont like the message if it is really what i think it is. |
