EP [MOTH] by ‘Kim Woo-sung’, vocalist of the band ‘The Rose’
Butterflies fly during the day and are recognized as beautiful and friendly creatures, while moths are nocturnal, mostly uncolored, and people shy away from them. Moths, which are seen as butterflies of the night, are mostly outside of love and attention due to the perception that they are dark and dirty. However, under the light, they also show the beautiful wings and patterns unique to moths. Moths also symbolize the power of transformation, change, and rebirth. ‘MOTH’ will lead the moths chasing the light, and all of us who need the light, to a world where butterflies and moths can live side by side.
The lush description of his lyrics is drawn from inspiration from the album introduction that gives a palate onto this new journey. "While a butterfly is perceived as a beautiful and touchable creature in the daylight, a moth is nocturnal and often colorless, translucent, and drawn to the light. Taking a closer look, these dull, unpopular moths can be just as pleasing to the eye, when the light shines through them as they fly through the night. MOTH symbolizes the transformation, change, rebirth, and power of regeneration. MOTH takes the path of the unpopular, the unchosen, the not-so-beautiful ones and takes the listener into a world where the butterflies and moths can be seen side by side.”
“This album is for the people that show their true beauty when the light shines on them.”
