Born For This Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've posted this in a couple of the BNE threads around, but I thought I'd make a thread too. Hayley said the following regarding the BNE cover in a reply to her new LJ post: i found the butterfly in my moms driveway a while ago... dead and completely in tact. after writing the lyrics for "brick..." with the one line that says "the angles were all wrong, now she's ripping wings off of butterflies"... the image we chose for this song was the butterfly i'd found. only we cut its wings off and pinned the butterfly with all its separate pieces in order on the fence in my backyard. in hindsight, to me, it represents the fact that broken pieces... individual pieces can still make one big picture. doesn't matter if they all have their own purpose as long as they stand together.

Kokoro Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 That's really creative. <3 And I'm happy they didn't rip up the butterfly JUST for the album art. This is a lot more humane. *nods* It's nice to know that this whole album has so much meaning for them. Hopefully it will for us, too.
