Curiosity Killed the Moth Lyrics – MOTHICA

[Verse 1]
I was told to sit here quietly
So I never talked to strangers
So what happens when I need to feed
And I can’t tell what’s love from danger?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I look so sweet but what’s underneath
Leaves much to be desired
Flying to the light no end in sight
It was only just a fire
And I just can’t sleep on amphetamines
They only make me tired
When the night hurts and I’m wired
[Chorus]
I got a sick and twisted fascination
My own decimation
Me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
Searching for velvet sensations
Falling for temptation
Curiosity killed the moth

[Verse 2]
I could sit and wither idly
Clip my wings instead I’m soaring
Even if it ends up violently
At least you’d never call me boring

[Pre-Chorus]
And I look so sweet but what’s underneath
Leaves much to be desired
Flying to the light no end in sight
It was only just a fire
And I just can’t sleep on amphetamines
They only make me tired
When the night hurts and I’m wired

[Chorus]
I got a sick and twisted fascination
My own decimation
Me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
Searching for velvet sensations
Falling for temptation
Curiosity killed the moth

[Verse 1]
The protagonist reflects on their upbringing, where they were taught to remain reserved and avoid interactions with strangers. However, they question what happens when they’re compelled by their own needs and desires, unable to distinguish between genuine affection and potential danger.

[Pre-Chorus]
Despite appearing innocent on the surface, there’s a deeper complexity within the protagonist that falls short of expectations. They’re drawn to risky situations like a moth to a flame, unable to resist the allure despite knowing it may lead to exhaustion and pain.

[Chorus]
The protagonist acknowledges their own destructive tendencies, likening themselves to the mythological figure of Icarus who flew too close to the sun. They recognize the pattern of seeking out intense experiences, even when they result in their own downfall, driven by an insatiable craving for thrilling sensations.

[Verse 2]
Rather than passively accepting their fate, the protagonist chooses to embrace their desires and take risks. They reject the idea of conforming to societal norms and instead opt to pursue excitement, even if it means facing potential consequences with bravery rather than succumbing to boredom.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, the protagonist grapples with their inner turmoil, acknowledging the disparity between their outward appearance and inner desires. Despite knowing the dangers, they are drawn towards the light, unable to resist the temptation even as it drains them of energy.

[Chorus]
Repeating the sentiment from earlier, the protagonist reflects on their own downfall caused by their insatiable curiosity and penchant for danger. They draw a parallel between themselves and the doomed Icarus, highlighting their shared fate of being consumed by their own desires.
