Darkher Lyrics

gathering over head.
Walls they would climb,
to cut your wings as the streams bled.
I want to live, not be afraid and forsaken,
rise from the embers to the flames,
as we circle the Moon
The lyrics of Darkher's song Moths speak of a warning of impending danger, represented by the gathering of dark clouds. This threat is not only seen as a physical barrier- symbolized by the image of walls to climb- but also an emotional one, as the metaphor of wings suggests a sense of vulnerability and fragility. The line "to cut your wings as the streams bled" adds to this sense of danger, as it implies a violent act that causes harm.
However, despite this warning of danger, the singer expresses a desire to live and not be afraid. The following lines "rise from the embers to the flames, as we circle the Moon" suggest a transformation and a willingness to face the danger head-on. The use of fire imagery in these lines emphasizes the sense of passion and energy needed to confront the threat.
Overall, the lyrics of Moths seem to speak of resilience in the face of danger, and a willingness to confront fear head-on. Despite the warning of darkness, the singer expresses a desire to live and face the danger with courage and determination.

They warned of dark clouds,
An ominous sign signals impending danger
gathering over head.
A foreboding sense of doom permeates the atmosphere
Walls they would climb,
Enemies will stop at nothing to impede progress
to cut your wings as the streams bled.
Sabotage tactics will be employed to cause harm and destruction
I want to live, not be afraid and forsaken,
The desire for freedom from fear and abandonment is strong
rise from the embers to the flames,
Emerging from the ashes of defeat, with renewed vigor and strength
as we circle the Moon
Successfully navigating obstacles and persevering through adversity
