Butterflies
Whispers of Stony Dogs: Death Cult's Artistic Suicide
Lyrics
The wild wide eye with her painted wing
The intense, wide-eyed woman with her adorned wings
She crushed the gray boy
She figuratively defeated or overwhelmed the dull or ordinary boy
Don't you know my selfishness was my suicide
Expressing regret for past self-centered actions that led to self-destruction
Her painted wing became my suicide, suicide
Her adorned wing symbolizes the source of his downfall, akin to suicide
The whole world did not start to cry
The global population did not show empathy or sorrow
They just got inside me
Others became a part of him, possibly influencing or affecting him
And now they walk behind me
Now, these influences or people follow him
They walk behind me
Repetition emphasizing the persistence of those following him
They walk behind me
Reiteration of the ongoing presence of those following him
Oh lord
An exclamation invoking a sense of urgency or distress
Like little dogs
Comparing those following him to little dogs
Like stony dogs, you know
Further description of those following as unyielding or unemotional
Stony dogs
Repetition emphasizing the stoic nature of those following
Stony dogs
Reiteration of the unyielding and unemotional nature of those following
They walk behind me, oh lord
Continuation of the theme of people persistently following him
They walk
Repetition emphasizing the act of walking behind him
Behind me
Reiteration of the ongoing presence of those walking behind him
Behind me, oh lord
Final emphasis on the persistent presence of those following him
