Moths
Darkher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They warned of dark clouds,
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




Overall Meaning

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
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

Lay peacefully and no more will be haunted
Hide in my dreams and we will make this our fortress
I want to live, not be afraid and forsaken
Rise from the embers to the flames
As we circle the moon
