Speaking about the song, Luna Keller said,
When I started releasing “Ocean Inside Of Me” I was still new to telling the story of my mental health journey, there was still a lot of fear and shame to overcome every time, especially around the topic of self-harm. Back then I used to tell people that “Don’t Kill The Butterfly” is about holding onto hope and finding it in the fragile beauty of the little things in our present even when life feels heavy. While that is true, it is a vague interpretation. The song has a way more literal meaning to me, one I feel comfortable with sharing now. When I was struggling with self-harm I found the butterfly project online, the concept is simple but effective: drawing a butterfly on my skin and letting it fade naturally so it can fly away - but if I hurt myself before it fades the butterfly dies. It might seem simple but this technique helped me keep myself safe many times - and inspired this song. I am glad I get to share the full story now, because maybe it can reach someone who needs to know they are not alone, someone who needs a butterfly to keep them safe as well”.
