I was listening to some shinedown music, then I saw this song on the side, and I was like.... I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG IN FOREVER. The rest of the story cannot be explained.
@Mrwagnertaxa for your second question.. they "sacrifice" their blood and "rip off the wings of a butterfly" to live... meaning would someone be so willing to destroy something so beautiful just to be immortal?... thats how I think of it.

LUV THIS VIDEO! still,sumwhat strange when i watch it i'm mesmerized by ville.know I'm married, but he's still Looking good!2me,sure grabbed my attention.This song/video just grabs youHIM's best song/video ever! have 2watch often =)
Three retarded comments about the dislike bar and a "LOL I AM WATCHING THIS IN 2012" comment in a row. If you don't have something worth reading why even comment?
@derail33 its said that in Ancient times butterfly wings would give immortality so the song asks if your willing to destroy something to get what you want
@xander4301 hes not he just doesnt care about kissing gusy, he almost married thi model once but he found out she cheated on him he told her he knew then she punched him in the face and then he burned on his tattooed ring with his cigarette.
the first time i heard this song i was buying song on itune and i saw this and i accidentally clicked buy while looking over other songs and and then i was like great... then i listened to it and it was awesome lol
I have always been tempted to listen to this band and i heard them play in a show i was watching of Bam, and they sounded pretty good, i like this song.:D
Cool video...Good music with a great guitar riff & he's got an interesting look. However the vocals could be a better IMHO. Just seems a little too laid back with limited range for the music being played behind him. He's definitely not a bad singer, but some stronger vocals would do wonders for this song.
READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS.YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF UR LIFE.TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT ON AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE IN THE NEXT 2 DAYS.NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DONT STOP.THIS IS SO SCARY.PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 145 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS.THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
@karinkemp I guess you wont be a fan for much longer. Haha this was like their song to break into mainstream MTV I believe. I remember listening to it when it first came out , then i went out and bought an album and hated it.
why does we need to argue or make bad comments about any band? they are all good to whoever it appeal too ! that is only what matters i love everybody for what they like in music! It is my drug of choice! oh and i love this band but that is only my own opinion! And by the way I am 64!
@1010101010150 I'm going to ask you this because you have long time experiance. What was it like to see Iron Maiden live back in the 80's? (My favorite band)
Lead singer Ville Valo has explained this song at concerts. He says that the song is about how you cannot have something new without sacrificing something to get it. In some cultures, it is believed that butterfly wings can lead to immortality, and the song asks if you are willing to destroy something to get what you want.
@tylerwebb89 and also the butterfly theory, how one flap of a butterflies wings could create a tsunami on the other side of the world. how the smallest decision can have the biggest outcome.
plz stop talking about Bam just shut up and enjoy the music no one cares about bam its about him plus stop talking all the time about ville his an awesome singer but what about the others members in HIM it would be nothing with out them -_-
First HIM video I ever seen. I've been hopelessly addicted to them ever since this song came out. <3 I can't wait to get my heartagram tattoo, I just need to save up for it. :D
@l4nc0r The 'Prime Time' of getting vagina, is when you are old enough to properly handle it. You, however, must be too stupid to know that, or below sixteen. Moving on, g'day Sir.
@vonskylar LOLOLOLOLOLOL the prime time is when the endocrine system is pumping out testosterone like a fountain.. which occurs during puberty.. if you knew anything about the human body you could discern that.. but since you obviously are a stupid troll.. i'd say you're about 18 maybe 19.. and you think you know everything when it's obvious you don't even know simple biology. Also im older than 16.. nice assumption based on nothing but your own stupidity KID.
