On October 17, 2010 it was announced that Like Moths to Flames had been signed to Rise Records and were already working on their first EP. Two months later, the band released their EP titled Sweet Talker on December 14, 2010. To help support their new music, the band set out with fellow acts Texas in July and A Hero A Fake on the "A Metal Christmas" tour through late 2010. Sometime before their EP was released, drummer Jordan Matz left Like Moths to Flames, and was replaced by Lance Greenfield.
With continuous touring through 2011, the band decided to settle back down and head into the studio to record their first full-length studio album. Right before the band headed to the studio, bassist Aaron Douglas parted ways with the band. The band had Eli Ford (Formerly of My Ticket Home) join on guitar and Aaron Evans moved to bass. When We Don't Exist was released on November 8 through Rise Records. In January 2012 the band headed out on the S.I.N. Tour with acts D.R.U.G.S., Hit the Lights and Sparks the Rescue to support the album. Soon after, they toured with bands Texas in July and Hundredth.
The band then spent the first half of 2013 headlining the Rise Records tour around the US with supporting acts Crown The Empire, The Color Morale, Palisades and My Ticket Home. The band have confirmed they will record their second full length album with Will Putney at (The Machine Shop) in Hoboken, New Jersey and shall be released in the summer of 2013. On May 29 2013, the band confirmed the new album would be called An Eye for an Eye, slated for a July 9th 2013 release. They toured with the Vans Warped Tour over the summer of 2013 on the Monster Energy Stage. Shortly after the All Stars Tour 2014, guitarist Zach Huston decided to part ways with the band citing that he wants to pursue other interests. It wasn't until late in 2015 that he was replaced by guitarist Jeremy Smith, formerly of City Lights.
On April 6, 2015, the band released two standalone singles, The Dream Is Dead and Bury Your Pain, the latter of the two being the band's most popular song. The band's third album, The Dying Things We Wish For was released on October 23, 2015. The album wasn't very popular, as the band moved towards a more "djent" sound. The band themselves have stated that they don't like the album and they seldom play any songs from the album live.
The band's fourth and last album to be released on Rise Records was Dark Divine. This album was much softer than the others, but did see a return to their older sound rather than moving forward with the "djent" sound of their last album. They released an EP titled Dark Divine Reimagined which was a collection of acoustic covers from the album. The band would then part ways with Rise Records in May 2019, along with confirming that they've already worked on new songs. The band signed to UNFD in September 2019.
No Eternity In Gold, released on October 30, 2020, was the band's fifth album and first to be released on UNFD. This release was heavier than their last album, returning to the band's original sound while still having some softer moments. On October 6, 2021, the band released a single titled The Preservation of Hate, along with teasing an EP scheduled to release on November 9, 2021. The single was far heavier than anything the band has released prior, almost leaning towards a deathcore sound, while the rest of the songs were more traditional metalcore.
On January 25, 2023, the band fired founding member Aaron Evans due to the history of alleged abuses with text messages, ranging from multiple secret relationships to manipulation and gaslighting. The band then released a new single titled Predestination Paradox on March 30, 2023.
You'll Burn
Like Moths to Flames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a compromise
You drew the line at what was yours
And what's not mine
A snake sucking at the heart of this
More guilty than you'd like to admit (like to admit)
Rotting on the inside
I saw the devil with my own eyes
And he fit the shape of you
A fucking coward
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
Cover your red hands
But you can't hide your poisoned mind
Say what you want
I've held these words for long enough
You're the bottom feeder
Someone that I'll never need here
Say what you want
Taken for granted all I've done
Infested by the thought
That you can never be wrong
I'll never trust anything
That you think that I might want
You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on
So sick, so sick
Of trying to prove myself for worth
When you take what I deserve
So quick, so quick
To point the blame and then turn and run
You'll burn for all that you've done
Torn the hopes of everyone I love
And now it's your turn
You can get fucked
You can fuck
Say what you want
I've held these words for long enough
You're the bottom feeder
Someone that I'll never need here
I'll never trust anything
That you think that I might want
You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on
So sick, so sick
Of trying to prove myself for worth
When you take what I deserve
So quick, so quick
To point the blame and then turn and run
You'll burn for all that you've done
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
You'll burn for all that you've done
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
You'll burn for all that you've done
I will gladly bite the hand that feeds
When it doesn't feed enough
Cover your red
You're fucking guilty scum
You're fucking guilty scum
You're fucking guilty
The song "You'll Burn" by Like Moths to Flames is an angry, confrontational message directed towards someone who has wronged the singer. The lyrics express a sense of betrayal and disgust at the other person's actions, and the singer is unwilling to compromise or forgive.
The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer declaring their willingness to "bite the hand that feeds" and their refusal to back down or make concessions. The second verse takes a more personal turn, with the singer describing the other person as a "fucking coward" with a "poisoned mind." The chorus repeats the message of the song, with the singer stating that they will never trust or need this person again, and that they will ultimately pay for their actions.
The song is full of intense imagery, with references to snakes, devils, and rotting insides. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply betrayed and angry, and is lashing out at the other person with all the force they can muster.
Line by Line Meaning
I will gladly bite the hand that feeds
I won't hesitate to turn against those who don't fulfill my needs
Without a compromise
I won't settle for less than what I think I deserve
You drew the line at what was yours
You made it clear what you considered to be yours
And what's not mine
And what you didn't want me to have or take
A snake sucking at the heart of this
A deceitful presence draining the essence of things
More guilty than you'd like to admit (like to admit)
More responsible for the negative aspects than you're willing to acknowledge
Rotting on the inside
Decaying internally
Dividing myself in two
Feeling split between different parts of myself
I saw the devil with my own eyes
I witnessed an evil presence firsthand
And he fit the shape of you
And it resembled you
A fucking coward
A despicable and spineless person
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
With a talent for deceit
Cover your red hands
Try to hide your guilt
But you can't hide your poisoned mind
But you can't conceal your destructive thoughts and intentions
Say what you want
Speak your mind
I've held these words for long enough
I've kept these thoughts to myself for too long
You're the bottom feeder
You're someone who takes advantage of others' hard work and resources
Someone that I'll never need here
Someone who's not welcome in my life
Taken for granted all I've done
Not acknowledged all the effort and sacrifice I've put in
Infested by the thought
Overwhelmed by the idea
That you can never be wrong
That you're incapable of admitting your faults and mistakes
I'll never trust anything
I won't have confidence in anything
That you think that I might want
That you assume I desire
You are the scum and we're the hearts you dwell on
You're the worthless individual preying on those who care for you
So sick, so sick
Suffering greatly
Of trying to prove myself for worth
Of attempting to demonstrate my value
When you take what I deserve
When you appropriate what rightfully belongs to me
So quick, so quick
So swift
To point the blame and then turn and run
To accuse others and flee from responsibility
You'll burn for all that you've done
You'll suffer the consequences of your actions
With a tongue to tell a thousand lies
With the ability to deceive repeatedly

With a shitload of generic metalcore bands appearing and disappearing every other day, this band truly stands out. They're one of those bands that can actually do this genre justice. Plus I love that they're more on the groovy, hardcore-like side. As a musician that writes songs mostly like theirs, I can say that although they are nothing special and nothing new, they are a lot of fun listening to and at the end of the day that's all that really matters.

Jake Ward
It's not as obvious and prominent as other metal mixes, but this album has easily the fattest, most awesome bass tone. That's the whole mix right there
AndrewKillsSkating
LMTF never disappoints. I'm totally buying this the 9th!
