Ariadne Loinsworth Jenssen (born 1993 in Oslo), known professionally as ARY, is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and producer. In 2013 she signed a management deal with Toothfairy in Sandvika and started having sessions with multiple producers. Her first session was with producer Carl Louis. This collaboration would quickly be proven fruitful as their first track together was released via Eskimo Records and prestigiously A-listed by Norway’s biggest radio station NRK P3. They continued to work together, with several tracks released on Carl Louis's debut-EP «Telescope», where Ary featured on «Human Again» and the title track «Telescope». Both singles were playlisted by P3. In 2022, she released her debut studio album For evig, dedicated to her twin brother Andreas who took his own life in 2020. The album was critically acclaimed, and it also entered the Norwegian Albums Chart at number 31.
Moth To A Flame
Ary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's nobody home
Should I say you'll be ok
Though I know you won't
Like the heat of the moment
Wouldn't burn anymore
And I could be lying and you wouldn't mind it at all
Love will grow deeper than pain ever could
Feel the roots interlace round your heart
Lay down your guard, open your scars
Now that I feel it I want you to know
That I'm no longer scared of the dark
If that is where you are
After all, the further away
I only ever think about you more
Like a moth to a flame
There are nights when you wake me
In forever ago
It was all just a bad dream
I don't even have to let you go
And the way you embrace me
It's inevitable
That the moment I wake every part of me breaks
And I'm left in a pile on the floor
Love will grow deeper than pain ever could
Feel the roots interlace round your heart
Lay down your guard, open your scars
Now that I feel it I want you to know
That I'm no longer scared of the dark
If that is where you are
After all, the further away
I only ever think about you more
Like a moth to a flame
That's all we are
A moth to a flame
I won't be far
You'll find me again
That is all we are ever gonna be
So are you ever gonna talk to me
Oh talk to me and be with me
Baby tell me you will, hey
After all, the further away
I only ever think about you more
Like a moth to a flame
The lyrics of Ary's song "Moth to a Flame" tell a story of a person who is trying to win over someone they care about deeply. The song is about longing and trying to reach out to someone who is emotionally distant. The singer is aware that their love interest is hurting, and though they try to reassure them and promise that things will be ok, they know that it won't be that easy. The first verse conveys the idea that even though the door to their heart is open, there's no one there to receive the love. The singer questions whether it's appropriate to offer comfort and support, even though the recipient wouldn't be able to receive it. The line "And I could be lying and you wouldn't mind it at all" suggests that the recipient is not in a space to receive comfort, and it does not matter if the singer is honest or not.
As the song progresses, the singer shares that their love interest is like a moth drawn to the flame - inevitable and powerful. The metaphor of a moth to a flame reinforces the idea of the song being about temptation and risk - it is as if the love interest is drawn to something that will ultimately hurt them but can't help being pulled towards it. Even though the singer knows that their love interest is not ready for what they have to offer, they still promise to be patient and wait for them. The chorus talks about how love can grow deeper than pain - the roots interlacing around the heart expresses the idea that while love can cause pain, it can reach deep and provide strength that can overcome it.
The song's bridge showcases a vulnerability where the singer acknowledges that they themselves are struggling with their emotions. Though the recipient's emotional unavailability has left them broken, they will still always long for that person, and they will be waiting for them. The final lines of the song convey this idea: "That is all we are ever gonna be / So are you ever gonna talk to me / Oh talk to me and be with me / Baby tell me you will, hey."
Line by Line Meaning
If your heart is a doorway
If you are open to love
But there's nobody home
But you have not found love yet
Should I say you'll be ok
Should I tell you everything will work out
Though I know you won't
Even though I know that may not be true
Like the heat of the moment
Like a fleeting feeling
Wouldn't burn anymore
That feeling is no longer strong enough
And I could be lying and you wouldn't mind it at all
Even if I lied, it wouldn't matter to you
Love will grow deeper than pain ever could
Love is stronger than any pain
Feel the roots interlace round your heart
Love will take hold and become a part of you
Lay down your guard, open your scars
Be vulnerable and let love in
Now that I feel it I want you to know
Now that I have experienced it, I want to share it with you
That I'm no longer scared of the dark
I am no longer afraid of being alone
If that is where you are
Even if you are in a dark place
After all, the further away
No matter how far apart we are
I only ever think about you more
I only think about you more and more
Like a moth to a flame
Drawn to you despite the risk of getting hurt
There are nights when you wake me
You haunt my thoughts even in my sleep
In forever ago
In a distant memory
It was all just a bad dream
Our past was a nightmare
I don't even have to let you go
I can't let go of you
And the way you embrace me
If we were to reunite
It's inevitable
It would be bound to happen
That the moment I wake every part of me breaks
But the reality of your absence would shatter me
And I'm left in a pile on the floor
Reduced to nothing
That's all we are
Our relationship is fleeting
A moth to a flame
Drawn to you despite the risk of getting hurt
I won't be far
I will always be close by
You'll find me again
We will eventually reunite
That is all we are ever gonna be
Our relationship will never be more than this
So are you ever gonna talk to me
Will you ever reach out to me?
Oh talk to me and be with me
Let us be together again
Baby tell me you will, hey
Please tell me you want the same
