1) HIM (sometimes stylized as H.I.M.) was a Finnish gothic rock band from Helsinki, Finland. Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo and bassist Mikko "Mige" Paananen under the name His Infernal Majesty, the band broke up in 1993, before being reformed in 1995 by Valo and guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindström. After being rejoined by Mige, as well as new additions keyboardist Antto Melasniemi and drummer Juhana "Pätkä" Rantala, the band, now called HIM, released their debut album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 in 1997. In 2000, now with drummer Mika "Gas Lipstick" Karppinen and keyboardist Juska Salminen, the band released the album Razorblade Romance, which reached the number one spot in Finland, Austria and Germany. Their first single, "Join Me in Death", also charted at number one in Finland and Germany, eventually going platinum and gold respectively. Following the addition of Janne "Burton" Puurtinen on keyboards, HIM released Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights and Love Metal in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Both cracked the top ten in several countries, and allowed the band to tour the United Kingdom and the United States for the first time.
In 2005, HIM released Dark Light, which became the group's most commercially successful album to date, charting in fifteen countries. With Dark Light, HIM also became the first Finnish group to receive a gold record in the US. In 2007, HIM released Venus Doom, the making of which was marred by problems in Valo's personal life. Despite this, the album gave the band their highest chart position in the US at number twelve. After 2010's Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, HIM went on hiatus as drummer Gas Lipstick took medical leave. Following several months of uncertainty, the band regrouped and eventually released the album Tears on Tape in 2013. In 2015, Gas Lipstick announced his departure from the band to pursue other musical projects, and was subsequently replaced by Jukka "Kosmo" Kröger. On 5 March 2017, HIM announced that the band would be disbanding following a farewell tour in 2017. The band played their final show on New Year's Eve 2017 as a part of their annual Helldone Festival.
HIM is one of the most commercially successful Finnish bands of all time, with sales of over ten million records. The band have released eight studio albums, five compilations, three video releases, and two box sets, along with one live and one remix album. HIM has also received numerous accolades, including eight Emma Awards.
Critics have referred to the music of HIM as gothic rock, gothic metal, alternative rock, alternative metal, and dark rock. The band themselves have referred to their music as "love metal", the title of their fourth studio album. According to Ville Valo, the term "love metal" was coined as a response to people having difficulties categorizing their music.
A central of part of HIM's image has been the heartagram. The heartagram is the trademarked symbol of the band, which was created by vocalist Ville Valo on his twentieth birthday in 1996. A combination of a heart and a pentagram, the heartagram is meant to represent the juxtaposition of "the soft and the hard, the male and the female, the yin and the yang" according to Valo. Musically the heart is also meant to represent the softer side of the band, while the pentagram symbolizes their heavier influences. This juxtaposition was also prevalent in the band's album titles. On their first album, HIM used a heart with "666" inside it as their logo, which Valo later felt was "a bit boring". The heartagram was first predominantly used on the cover of HIM's 2003 album Love Metal, and has since appeared on numerous releases from the band. Valo has later stated that the heartagram "is probably the best thing I've ever come-up with", and that it's "worth a lot more than money" and is "bigger than our band". The heartagram has also made several appearances on TV, including Charmed, LA Ink, Viva La Bam, and Criminal Minds.
2) HiM is a dub influenced post-rock group formed in 1995 by Doug Scharin, drummer for the bands Codeine, Rex and June of 44. Their first album, Egg, was their most dub-based effort. Each successive album has gone more in a quasi-world music direction. After some recording for Crooklyn Dub Consortium and Wordsound, "Interpretive Belief System", HiM settled on a lineup of Scharin with Bundy K. Brown, Rob Mazurek and Jeff Parker, members or occasional members of Tortoise and Isotope 217. Their first album was the underground hit Sworn Eyes, produced by Doug Scharin. A few personnel changes followed, and the revamped lineup including members of June of 44. Golden released Our Point of Departure in 1999, which signified a very clear shift toward a more jazz-like sound, followed by a major American and European tour. In 2003, HiM released Many In High Places Are Not Well on Fat Cat Records, which was received as their most successful and fully realized release. Peoples was released in mid-2006, featuring a cleaner sound with more vocals than any of HiM's previous releases. Included in this line-up are Martin Perna and Jordan McLean from Antibalas, Griffin Rodriguez from Need New Body/Icy Demons, Adam Pierce (Mice Parade).
The latest HiM records, "1110" and ん,released in 2008 and 2009 on Afterhours in Tokyo, are collaborations between Doug Scharin, Josh Larue and the Tokyo-based group, Ultra Living.
3) The group was composed of the following main members:
* Shizuka Nakajima （vocals）
* Shungo Makihashi (vocals)
* Non (dancer)
* Yocco (dancer)
4) H.I.M. (Her in Mind) an r&b singer best known for his reply album to H.E.R.'s album in 2017.

Him Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
要是這樣豁達又何不專心著書
情感給糟蹋都活該寬恕
這樣快便沒有事痊癒
拼命愛下個但為何傷口不退瘀
情人不該比較新舊計贏或輸
為何又拒絕同住
我要做個放下你的我
苦等某天被前度道賀
可惜笑得比喊痛苦 寧願看不破
我放下你卻未放低我
懦弱還是未能面對可是錯
何苦 還要委屈我
努力過活 拼命無恙
我沒有事卻又為誰爭這安慰獎 (大方的安慰獎)
無非很想你想念我善良
我被背叛 沒法扮原諒
要扮偉大卻又未如我想像那樣 (什麼都不去想)
明明失戀彷似心臟中拳內傷
無能力顧及形象
我要做個放下你的我
苦等某天被前度道賀
可惜笑得比喊痛苦 寧願看不破
我放下你卻未放低我
懦弱還是未能面對可是錯
何苦 還要繼續高估我
Dum da doo
勉強做個放下你的我
專心看得開其實沒幫助
只好倒數剩餘回憶時日無多
我放下你卻未放低誰麼
痛恨你而受傷 好過
趁仍舊有力氣
寧願痛苦能夠
證實相戀過
The lyrics of Him's song [untitled] depict the struggle of letting go of a past relationship and trying to move forward. The singer seems to be reflecting on the fact that even when you try to move on, the memories and emotions of the past continue to haunt and affect you. The opening line, "世上偶遇也是重遇" ("in this world, chance encounters are also reunions"), could be interpreted as a bittersweet realization that even though the relationship has ended, the memories and experiences are still a part of who we are and cannot be erased.
The song also explores the idea that love and relationships cannot be forced or compared. The lines "情人不該比較新舊計贏或輸" ("lovers should not compare and calculate who is new or old, who wins or loses") suggest that love should not be a competition or a game, but something that comes naturally and cannot be measured or judged. The singer seems to be struggling with this concept, as evidenced by the line "為何又拒絕同住" ("why do I refuse to live together"), indicating that they are still holding onto the past and unable to fully move forward.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of letting go and moving on from a past relationship, and the struggle to accept that it is okay to still feel the pain and emotions associated with it.

@mehedisajib
Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice
Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime
Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul
Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul (soul, soul, soul, soul, soul, soul...)
