Moth
estef Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, no, it′s gonna be like a minute and a—
It's, like, short
I mean it′s an intro, it's—
Right now it's just like a verse and a chorus
Cool
Well, I′ve been thinking lately
Oh, it's all a little crazy
How quickly I′ve fallen
Oh boy, that ain't calming
Ah-ooh, ooh
Baby, you got me like no one before
Ah-ooh, ooh
Even when I′m with you, I only want more
Ah-ooh, ooh
Each little touch gets me right at the core
Feel like I'm flying, no feet on the floor
Feet on the floor
Like a moth to a flame
I can′t help but be drawn to you
Bracing for the pain
The closer I get, the more I am doomed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Like a moth to a flame
The closer I get, the more I am doomed
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
The lyrics of Estef's song "Moth" explore the artist's intense and overwhelming infatuation with someone.

The verse expresses Estef's astonishment at discovering this person, describing it as "crazy" how quickly they have fallen for them. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and excitement, as Estef cannot believe their luck in finding someone who affects them so deeply. However, there is also a sense of apprehension and vulnerability, as expressed in the line "Oh boy, that ain't calming." This suggests that while the attraction is intense, it also brings about some feelings of unease or uncertainty.
The chorus reinforces the theme of the moth drawn to a flame, a metaphor for Estef's irresistible attraction to this person. The comparison implies that being drawn to them is both mesmerizing and destructive, as represented by the line "The closer I get, the more I am doomed." Despite this knowledge, Estef cannot resist their magnetic pull, which becomes increasingly undeniable.
