The song’s lyrics, particularly lines like “I know I shouldn’t go but I’m too weak to fight” and “I’m just a moth, you’re the flame,” vividly depict the singer’s struggle with an obsessive and potentially harmful relationship.
The metaphor of the moth being drawn to the flame, despite the inevitable pain, encapsulates the self-destructive nature of the attraction.
The repetition of “I’ll be burning up” underscores the cyclical and destructive pattern of the relationship, where the singer is repeatedly hurt but unable to break free.
This interpretation is consistent with The Weeknd’s known themes of love and its darker aspects, often portrayed through vivid and emotionally charged lyrics.
The electronic and synthwave elements of the song enhance the sense of entrapment and the pulsating, almost hypnotic quality of the obsession.
