About this Style Moth's Wings, by Passion Pit "Dear friend, as you know Your flowers are withering Your mother's gone insane Your leaves have drifted away But the clouds are clearing up And I've come reveling Burning incandescently Like a bastard on the burning sea You're just like your father Buried deep under the water You're resting on your laurels And stepping on my toes Whose side are you on? What side is this anyway? Put down your sword and crown Come lay with me on the ground You come beating like moth's wings Spastic and violently Whipping me into a storm Shaking me down to the core But you run away from me And you've left me shimmering Like diamond wedding rings Spinning dizzily down on the floor." As I was listening to the song, I kept getting this vision of two people sitting in this garden of gray and brown withered flowers, holding hands and having the most sincere, heart to heart moment. I imagined the couple talking about deep, dark secrets that have flawed them and held them back from fully opening up to each other. I see so many different things in my head as I listen more and more. I couldn't possibly begin to put it all into words. It was quite powerful for me. Basically, to explain the avatar further, I chose the leaf laurel to represent the laurel in the song and I made it green to give the illusion of the leaves that are drifting away. The black flower under the laurel represents the garden of withered flowers I envisioned. The colors represent the overall mood of the song, from what I perceived it to be.
