Track Insight / Lyrics
You drift past the heavy pine
Searching for a steady line
Pale wings beating in the cold
Doing what you're always told
The humming wire starts to sing
A heavy pull on every wing
You leave the forest far behind
A different kind of light to find
Electric gold, a humming spark
Cutting through the heavy dark
You chase the buzz, you chase the heat
Until the circuit is complete
You circle round the metal pole
Giving up your little soul
Just a speck of ghostly white
Blinded by the humming light
The humming wire starts to sing
A heavy pull on every wing
You leave the forest far behind
A different kind of light to find
Electric gold, a humming spark
Cutting through the heavy dark
You chase the buzz, you chase the heat
Until the circuit is complete
The pine needles smell like rain
But you only feel the strain
Of a voltage high and blue
Calling out to someone new
Electric gold, a humming spark
Cutting through the heavy dark
You chase the buzz, you chase the heat
Until the circuit is complete
One wrong touch and then it's done
Faster than a morning run
Sizzling on a copper wire
Setting all your wings on fire
Electric gold, a humming spark
Cutting through the heavy dark
You chase the buzz, you chase the heat
Until the circuit is complete
Just a flicker in the grid.
That's how the little moth slid. Static white.
Gone tonight.
