Moth Lyrics

I've been cast out, sequestered.
Pushed the fuck around.
Blindsided, beaten, locked up and bound.
Always thought I was human but maybe I was wrong.
I've been treated like an animal since the day I was born.
The wounds that I wear are the crown upon a king.
So heavy they lie, with all the pain that they bring.
My life is full of longing, but for what I'll never know.
I've been drawn in to the fire as I reap what I sow.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze
Like a moth to a flame.
(Like a moth to a flame)

The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn,
So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong,
Friendships they come and go and sometimes they end,
Wouldn't dream in a million year that this would be one of them.
Faith in the life, belief to the end,
Failures not an option, but the options exist,
I gave up my everything, I give till I bleed,
Take it all, take everything just take it from me

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze.

You're pushing me, I'm pushing back,
Falling down my heart attacks,
Compassion is lost,
No more hope, no more trust,
I tore it down and burnt it up,
All faith is gone

Respect, devotion
Dead
Disgust, hate
Lies
I'm not a hero, or a villain,
Not a god, I'm just a man,
Staring through the hourglass,
At the footprints in the sand,
I'm stripping on my armor,
My battles here are done,
Wave my white flag to surrender and fly into the sun.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze.
Like a moth to a flame.
Moth to a flame

What is the Meaning of Moth?

In a raw and introspective narrative, Hellyeah delves into the struggles of identity, self-destruction, and the cyclical nature of pain. The lyrics explore feelings of alienation and mistreatment, likening the protagonist to an outcast or an animal. Despite aspirations for greatness ("the crown upon a king"), the weight of suffering is overwhelming. Relationships falter, trust erodes, and insecurity thrives as beauty becomes destructive. The metaphor of a moth drawn to a flame symbolizes an irresistible pull towards self-destruction when confronted with something beautiful or pure. Ultimately, the protagonist acknowledges their flawed humanity—neither hero nor villain—and surrenders to their fate, embracing the inevitable burn. This poignant reflection on vulnerability and inner turmoil underscores a relentless battle with personal demons and the acceptance of one's limitations.
