For those who don't know, this song is about self harm, suicide, and the butterfly project. The song is very coded to explain how one feels in, or leading up to the act of self harming. The term "killing butterflies" is used when those going through the project, draw butterflies on themselves and whenever they self harm, they say "i killed the butterfly" instead of flat out saying "I hurt myself". This is to safely convey messages to those close the them who can help without being given looks, unwanted opinions, etc. by other people. It's actually very sad but the pace of the song resembles the frantic array of emotions that go through your head and that the only thing on your mind, the only solution you feel you have is to harm yourself. Definitely not a happy song but very beautiful and wonderfully expressive, giving a voice to those of us still stuck in a very dark place. - commenter on a different vid
The Butterfly Project has been created for self-harmers who feel they are ready to stop and need the motivation or support to do so. The self-harmer draws a butterfly on their place(s) of self-harm and, if the butterfly fades without them self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving them a sense of achievement. Whereas if they do self-harm with the butterfly there; they will have to wash it off. If that does happen, they can start again by drawing a new one on. The rules of the butterfly project are: When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better. You must let the butterfly fade naturally, no scrubbing it off. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, the butterfly dies. If you don’t cut, it lives. If you have more than one butterfly, and you self-harm, all the butterflies die. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyway, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.
I thought the songs meaning was like actually killing butterflies but....it just means that he had butterflies in his stomach from a crush and he wants to get rid of them, or just regular feelings. :>

For anyone who doesn't know what this song is abt it's about self harm and if you listen to the last part it says just a little more to stabilize and, the butterfly project is when draw a butterfly on the place you do it and every time you, cut scratch etc you essentially kill the butterfly hope this helps 👍🏽
It's figurative. It's talking about the butterfly project. It works like this: 1. You draw a butterfly with the name of the person who wants you to stop self harming. 2. If you don't self harm till the drawing fades, the butterfly goes free 3. If you do self harm, the butterfly dies That's what I've heard ahaha
I honestly thought it was him laughing, and it made me immediately think of Spamton, now I'm over here plotting how the hell I make an animation of him using this
We the fans from around the worldand me love your song Killing Butterflies Lewis Blissett your songs your voice your music your Hip Hop from the fans from around the world and me Besitos Lewis Blissett _ Killing Butterflies [Official Audio]
i love how this song is reffering to the 'butterfly project' where you draw butterflies on your arm w names to stop ctting but end up relapsing, so 'killing butterflies'
I like the part where they say killing killing killing killing butterflies an the part where it says we stay up all night killing butterflies. Love the song so much tho❤️❤️❤️
i think this is referring to the butterfly project, it’s a thing where you write down the name of a person who wants you to stop self harming on a butterfly, and if you self harm before the drawing fades, the butterfly dies

With your big old teeth
You will never sleep, no

oh god im an idiot
Bruh i'm stupid
The meaning behind it is breaking hearts (source: genius)
I thought the same! Maybe he is "killing butterflies" by using something to mask the pain?
@toxic mari Could be possible.. Hmm..
I like the part when he said killing butterflies
Cat queen Røse i like the part where he said open up the box
I like all of it
@*LPS_CasperYT* thats the perfect part i love it so much
Wow 🤣

Always when I hear that song I am like " I wanna draw something" LIKE ALWAYS!!
I love that song
bro same, artists unite with killing butterflies
I love when you listen to a certain song it like activates your passion to draw.
Same, but with writing
Согласен, бро! Прям активация мгновенно срабатывает, когда подобного рода песни слушаешь :D
AGREED
Is the “killing butterflies” thing literal? Or figurative?
It's figurative. It's talking about the butterfly project. It works like this:
1. You draw a butterfly with the name of the person who wants you to stop self harming.
2. If you don't self harm till the drawing fades, the butterfly goes free
3. If you do self harm, the butterfly dies
That's what I've heard ahaha
@@peachy-day964
This makes it deep
butterflies are symbolic for a lot of things, mainly hope and dreams.
I’ve heard people use it as a sexual context tbh- honestly depends on your interpretation
@peachy- day the butterfly self harm thing was made pretty recently and this song predates it I’m 90 percent sure
