Built around Being drawn to things that will destroy you, like a moth to a flame, unable to resist the pull. Live Wire's voltage-cranked guitars carries the concept through alternative-rock that rewards repeat listens. "I would rather burn than fly the dark tonight" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs haunting, dreamy. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
You are the porch light
I am the wing
Circling your glow
Like it's everything
I know the closer that I get
The more my edges start to singe
But I can't stop the orbit
I was born to fly this ring
[chorus]
Mothlight, mothlight
Burning in the mothlight
I would rather burn than fly the dark tonight
Mothlight, pull me closer
I know what happens at the end
But I'd rather glow for a moment
Than never feel the light again
[verse 2]
Every time I tell myself
Tonight I'll fly the other way
I'll find the moon, I'll find the stars
Something that won't leave a scar
But then your window opens up
And golden warmth comes pouring out
And I forget every lesson
That the darkness taught
[chorus]
Mothlight, mothlight
Burning in the mothlight
I would rather burn than fly the dark tonight
Mothlight, pull me closer
I know what happens at the end
But I'd rather glow for a moment
Than never feel the light again
[bridge]
Am I brave or am I broken
Is this love or just devotion
To the idea of the warmth
That I have never known before
One more orbit
One more pass
Make this moment always last
[chorus]
Mothlight, mothlight
Burning in the mothlight
I would rather burn than fly the dark tonight
Mothlight, pull me closer
I'd rather glow for a moment
Than never feel the light again
Mothlight, mothlight
