Tema[]
La canción parece describir una relación tóxica en la que el protagonista se compara con una polilla atraída por una llama. El protagonista reconoce que la relación es dañina y que necesita liberarse de ella. El coro describe la voluntad del protagonista de seguir regresando a la relación a pesar de haber sido herido repetidamente. El post-estribillo implica que el protagonista ha decidido seguir adelante y está animando a su pareja a hacer lo mismo. El segundo verso sugiere que el protagonista ha aprendido de sus experiencias y está estableciendo límites para protegerse de más daños. En general, la canción parece tratar de reconocer el daño de una relación tóxica y tomar medidas para superarla.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
I don't know how to stay away from it
The smoke always calls me to play (Come play)
Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere
Pulling me down toward their weight
[Pre-Coro 1]
If a fire's burning garbage on the yard, I wanna save 'em
But I always end up burned, my body goes through a cremation
I forget that I can't build with those who lack a good foundation
Always breaking, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Coro]
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings were frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed
[Gancho]
Be on your merry way, be better
Both of my antennas read you like a letter
I won't be around a fake caterpillar
Get in your cocoon, baby, don't be bitter
[Estrofa 2]
Don't expect me to cradle you gently
I know that my boundaries were thin
Transformation destroyed all the pages
Of patterns we once were locked in
[Pre-Coro 2]
Now my instinct won't be rushing
To your rescue on a Sunday
When you've had enough parading
And displaying of your bouquet
It's all thorns with petals scorched
And ribbons tied so fucking loosely
Wouldn't choose it (Ah)
Yeah, yeah
[Coro]
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings were frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed
[Estrofa 1]
I don't know how to stay away from it
The smoke always calls me to play (Come play)
Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere
Pulling me down toward their weight
[Pre-Coro 1]
If a fire's burning garbage on the yard, I wanna save 'em
But I always end up burned, my body goes through a cremation
I forget that I can't build with those who lack a good foundation
Always breaking, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Coro]
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings were frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed
[Gancho]
Be on your merry way, be better
Both of my antennas read you like a letter
I won't be around a fake caterpillar
Get in your cocoon, baby, don't be bitter
[Estrofa 2]
Don't expect me to cradle you gently
I know that my boundaries were thin

Of patterns we once were locked in
[Pre-Coro 2]
Now my instinct won't be rushing
To your rescue on a Sunday
When you've had enough parading
And displaying of your bouquet
It's all thorns with petals scorched
And ribbons tied so fucking loosely

Yeah, yeah
[Coro]
Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings were frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed
