play the violin

**TW: self-harm**

Another way of saying you will "slit your wrist". To understand, hold a "playing the violin" position with your arms/hands. Now, picture the position without the violin and instead of the bow used to play the instrument, picture yourself holding something sharp with the other hand.

This saying was created after watching a scene from the movie, "Gerald's Game" where the main character "Jessie" cuts an incision up "her wrist and into her palm, then forcing her hand down through the cuff as the skin peels upward like a latex glove coming off."
when you've been so used to saying "I want to kill myself" (which might worry whoever you're talking to), you can instead say "I want to play the violin" or "I'm gonna go play the violin"

when you see something that makes you want to commit death, you'd say "This makes me want to play the violin"

Electric Violin

The electric violin was invented for one reason, to fit in where its not supposed to. The normal violin is only in orchestras due to its sound but some runt decided to make it electric so it could play in bands. It is the instrument equivalent of putting on makeup to try to look pretty when u ugly AF to try to fit in with the "Popular Girls".

Electric Violin

King Vodka's instrument of choice.

Electric violins are uber rad instruments that you plug into amps. Its not uncommon to see electric violins to have 5, 6, or even 7 strings, but they traditionally have 4 strings like acoustic violins.
