| Passion Pit – Moth's Wings Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I believe throughout the entire song "you" refers to the wife. No change of perspective. The wife being "just like her father" seems odd, but if you couple that with the wife's missing/insane mother, it's understandable. With that understood, I'm pretty sure the intentional mention of "moth's wings" refers back to the first stanza. The narrator describes himself as have an incandescent quality, in a negative aspect of course. The wife, like a moth, is attracted to his light (have you ever seen a clusters of moths around a light source at night?). She feels compelled to confront her husband. After a horrible argument, she leaves him alone with two wedding rings. |
