I was actually about to post that December 26th, 1995 is probably the tuesday in the song. I did the same thing you did and went straight for a calendar XD So yeah I agree, it sounds like they're going to start over new after Christmas and forget about he left her all alone. |

| The Airborne Toxic Event – Papillon Lyrics
| 14 years ago

Papillon is not just the name of a dog and butterfly, it's also the name of a semi-autobiographical book (and later a movie) about Henri Charrière, who was convicted of murder and sent to prison on Devil's Island. He tried multiple times to escape, until eventually he succeeded. He was called Papillon because of a butterfly tattoo he had. It's possible that that's what he's talking about when he says "All dressed up, no place to run/No car, no girl, no pills, no fun/Nothing to do in this empty room/I gotta get my head together soon." I feel like he's comparing some sort of relationship to escaping from prison, but I'm not entirely sure what. |
