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"
