Transparent Moth

from Misleadingly Soft by Elenne May

/

lyrics

Soft as the wings, of a coloured moth you are.
Soft as the wings, of a coloured moth you are.
Soft as the wings, of a coloured moth you are.
Soft as the wings.

But you are,
Like my Grandmothers closet,
the smell makes my nostrils age.
And you were,
before the beginning,
the bite that was taken,
the blame is on you.

Soft as honey, and coconut you smell.
Soft as honey, and coconut you smell.
Soft as honey, and coconut you smell.
Soft as honey.

But you are,
so forgotten,
no wonder that the people trod on you.
and you were,
gasping for air,
you take up all of our oxygen.

You are,
the dust on the wings,
of a coloured moth.
the dust on the wings,
of a coloured moth.

It blows away,
it can’t fly.

You are that dust,
And you come out at night.
You are that dust, on it’s wings.
and you come out at night,
At night.

Elenne May Amsterdam, Netherlands

"This is a band for people who like to listen to music, truly listen. The music is beautifully layered, breathes space as well as atmosphere, with enough left to discover. The slightly mysterious voice of singer Elenne is soft, broken and hinting at unknown things, perhaps even the mystery beyond what we can hear." - WoNoBloG ... more
