Story Behind The Song
Lisa and I were working on multiple singles and discussed situations we've both been in before where we know someone is bad for us, but there's just enough to keep going back to it. I was up one night late and this sensual melody came with most of the words as they are now. I shared it with Lisa and she loved it, so we finished it together.
Song Description
They Ch lyric is pretty clear - I would add that the Bridge is all about denial:
I'm a moth
Your the flame
I know one day it's gonna get too hot
But I want you just the same
I'm a glutton
You're the feast
I'm gonna be stuck paying this bill
And still I wanna eat

Lyrics
Glutton
By: a girl named jaen and Lisa Danaë
@2018
Verse:
What is this thing you do
When you stare at me it goes right through
I know you feel it too
But you play it cool
I've tried to cut all ties
But you keep walking back into my life
Our past is magnified
Like stars in the sky
Pre-Chorus:
So what I'm supposed to do
What I'm I supposed to do
I think I have it all together
Then I See you and I come unglued
I've been hurt before
Yeah I've been here before
I've been hurt before by guys like you
But I still want more
Chorus:
I'm a moth
You're the flame
I know one day it's gonna get too hot
But I want you just the same
Verse:
What are you doing here
You're clouding up my atmosphere
Cutting through the Veneer
As you come so near
I've tried to slip away
But Your energy's magnetic
Kinda kinetic
Just come and get it
Pre-Chorus:
I know you're not right for me
No you're not right for me
Satisfaction's temporary
Going nowhere guaranteed
I've been hurt before
Yeah I've been here before
I've been hurt before by guys like you
But I still want more
Chorus:
I'm a moth
Your the flame
I know one day it's gonna get too hot
But I want you just the same
I'm a glutton
You're the feast
I'm gonna be stuck paying this bill
And still I wanna eat
Bridge:
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
Double Pre-Chorus:
So what I'm supposed to do
What I'm I supposed to do
I think I have it all together
Then I See you and I come unglued
I've been hurt before
Yeah I've been here before
I've been hurt before by guys like you
But I still want more
I know you're not right for me
No you're not right for me
Satisfaction's temporary
Going nowhere guaranteed
I've been hurt before
Yeah I've been here before
I've been hurt before by guys like you
But I still want more
Outro:
I'm a glutton
You're the feast
