Papillon
Papillon- (French for Black Butterfly) symbolizes freedom or a free man/woman. The Papillon represents breaking free from all societal mores and restrictions. There are no chains on the papillon, as they go where ever they want and do whatever they choose. A divorce or break up makes a person a papillon since one is no longer answerable to his/her former companion. Freeing oneself from a contract or debt makes a person a papillon because one is no longer bound to it. In Wang Jaier's (Jackson Wang's) "Papillon", he describes himself as a papillon who is on his own and having the freedom to chart his own destiny with or without suppport. In Denise Williams' song Black Butterfly, she tells describes the freedom the Black Butterfly feels as she spreads her wings and flies over bondage and/or oppression. The Papillon is the butterfly and symbol of universal freedom.

Henri "Papillon" Charriere
Henri Charriere (known as Papillon in the gang world) was a bad ass man who was wrongly convicted of murder and spent the best years of his life trying to escape inhuman conditions in the French island jails in order to obtain freedom. After various escape attempts and various different methods (using everything from guns, TNT, Cocoa leaves, two random Caribbean wives he picked up, sleeping potions, insane people, ect.) he managed to escape to freedom on his last attempt by jumping off a cliff and floating on a bag of coconuts in shark infested waters seventy miles to the nearest island. Papillon is the definition of what perseverance, dedication, and insane fearless desperation can achieve.
If Henri "Papillon" Charriere could do it, I can do it.
Woa, calm down there Papillon, that idea's too crazy you'll get yourself killed.
