Inconsistent Flame [lyrics] // Melanie Martinez

[@keketopia]

This song is about a toxic relationship where the protagonist realizes the relationship is harmful and needs to break out of it. But always find a way to keep going back, comparing it to a moth and a flame. A moth is attracted to light, they will always go to it, even if it kills them.

[@Soda_addict1424]

Yeah but sometimes it's about the protagonist always getting hurt just to be loved for a simple reason: obsession and/or lust and that person who harm the protagonist knows that but didn't really realized how obsessive the protagonist is Edit: it's probably also about falling in love with a very harmful person but somehow realized that despite the harmful tendencies they did to you, you still feel the love without them realizing it

[@angelique3907]

Verse 1] I don't know how to stay away from it The smoke always calls me to play (Come play) Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere Pulling me down toward their weight [Verse 2] If a fire's burning garbage on the yard I wanna save 'em but I always end up burned My body goes through a cremation I forget that I can't build with Those who lack a good foundation Always breaking (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Miguel 'Number 9' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified [Chorus] Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame I kept flying Every time you called I always came You kept lying Danced around your inconsistent flame Wings are frying Somehow I was always getting blamеd [Verse 3] Be on your merry way, be bеtter Both of my antennas read you like a letter I won't be around a fake caterpillar Get in your cocoon Baby, don't be bitter [Verse 4] Don't expect me to cradle you gently I know that my boundaries were thin Transformation destroyed all the pages Of patterns we once were locked in Now my instinct won't be rushing To your rescue on a Sunday When you've had enough parading And displaying of your bouquet It's all thorns with petals scorched And ribbons tied so fucking loosely Wouldn't choose it (Yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame I kept flying Every time you called I always came You kept lying Danced around your inconsistent flame Wings are frying Somehow I was always getting blamed

I know you’ve probably been getting slack for uploading these unreleased since the album promo, I just wanted to say I appreciate it bc you meant no harm, who knew if these gems would ever see the light of day? Just know I’m binging your vids and I’ll still support the album regardless!

[@_moonbaby_]

I love you so much for this 🤍🤍

[@adriannabailey2083]

Haii! I really like ur channel! Can i ask u something?

[@_moonbaby_]

Thank youuuu! Yes of course :)))

[@Avluu]

@@_moonbaby_ How do you deal with the copyright problem? I have a lot of leak music lyrics videos, but I can't share them because of copyright. I object to the royalty, but they still copyright it. What am I supposed to do?

[@_moonbaby_]

Every song on KZbin (and other platforms) is claimed by the artist that made the song, right? In order to post a song that you did not write on KZbin you have to dispute it as fair use. Personally, every single lyrics video that I posted has gotten copyrighted, but to avoid it getting blocked and demonetized I have to dispute it. Keep in mind that sometimes the claimant will decline it because doing lyrics videos or just posting the song without any certain meaning is still technically stealing the artist's work. If they declined the dispute, appeal it. If the claimant denies the appeal, you'll get a copyright strike :( In that case, you can't do anything to change that and after 3 copyright strikes you'll be kicked out of KZbin, so don't go all in to appeal your videos...Good luck!

[@Avluu]

@@_moonbaby_ Thank you! Actually, I know what you said, but most of my copyright objections were accepted, but a few hours later, it was copyrighted again. This is really annoying, but I think you're lucky! Thank you so much for your response

[@_moonbaby_]

Ohhh I never had a problem like that. Sorry love, I wish I could help :(

How do I inject a song into my bloodstream?

[@Mytery-yc8bi]

What is it with Melanie always wanting to sing about fire

[@AstridFerret]

It’s kinda like: detention (portals version)

[@latifamanai1671]

💟💟💟💟

[@silvergreen3930]

Somehow reminds me of "Самба белого мотылька"

[@latifamanai1671]

0:25 sorry but it's come boy not come play💗💗

[@_moonbaby_]

I feel like come play is the right one because if you heard the lyrics she sings "always calls me to play" and right after that a voice is added which is "come play" so it's more logical that way

[@latifamanai1671]

​@pevrlescentsame

[@ヤモです]

Come play is actually the right version because you can hear the “L” in play

[@EderaBlade_Teardrop]

It isn’t. Its “come play” listen closely

[@Luciag-lc9ql]

Sound kinda like garden

[@CharlieDarrow]

This was replaced by the contortionist

[@evvevvevevvevevevevevveve]

Literally, I think too that PLUTO may was intended to be the go track 8 of PORTALS but was ultimately replaced by BATTLE OF THE LARYNX, I also think that Needle Y Thread was supposed to be there instead of LIGHT SHOWER.
