LYRICS:
it only hurts if you stop
so keep the bottle close
fix me up and shut me down with chemicals
close your eyes and breathe in
wake up all alone
and wonder where you lost control
scared to go to sleep
hiding underneath
there’s a
darker side of me
I don’t wanna meet
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
until I see the damage
there’s no damage done
need a reason for me not to self-destruct
who said it gets better?
what if it never does?
what kind of monster will I become?
scared to go to sleep
hiding underneath
there’s a
darker side of me
I don’t wanna meet
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
until I see my reflection looking back at me, I won’t
until my see my disposition change
until I’m barely
hanging by a thread
trapped in my head
i’m spiraling out until all the
poison fills my chest
helps me forget
cause i’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red
no, I’ll never learn til I see red

Remember when. Yeah we do. When Mothica was our social media secret and now she is going to be a huge star❤with a world class following.

[@Shattered_shards]

She’s still our secret
But soon she won’t be,

[@thek838]

Eh what do you mean? She kinda topped with Casualty. Always will be happy to be proven wrong but if that didn't lead to this whole huge star with a world class following pretty sure nothing will. But honestly who needs that anyway. She has a great amount of fans already and does well.

[@atlas_cass]

I remember....
I started listening to her 5 years ago

[@horrorkek9340]

She pretty much already exploded on spotify doe. Check the view rates.

[@TaurusKing808]

truly, new fan unlocked

[@justhereforthecookies8129]

It's like Christmas morning every couple of weeks. August can't be here soon enough

[@Bakanekiprice]

Factsss😂😂😂

[@coviass7610]

the cookies is every drop from mothica right?

[@sw_elian]

Mothica is clearly one of the best artist, and she will never disappoints, really never! 🙏🏻❤🦋

[@euWakko]

Listening to your songs since 2015, and I really appreciate it. Keep going, Mothica, your music is important!

[@FullWhateveer]

Absolute Banger, cant wait to put it on BIG speakers so that all neighbours can hear

[@nickd.9882]

I am so invested its silliness. This needs to be a Netflix series or something no joke.

[@ScreamingMothVibes]

I honestly would watch it!

[@urlocalposerr]

the gasp i gasped when at 3:41 we see young mothica in the crowd 🥹 love how this is tied to the doomed music video. the details!!!!

[@memberberrie7225]

Mothica in Serbian means "digging tool", you know, when you want to plant some cabbage or potatoes and to prepare the soil... sometimes you have to dig very deep, and to water it... that makes this song have even deeper meaning for me.

[@ScreamingMothVibes]

That is a really good analogy for a lot of her music! A lot of it is about digging to the root of the issues and finding a way to encourage your own growth. I love that!

[@SarahJacksonLV]

You guys are badass! People who like artists like Paramore, Plumb, Evanescence, Tori Amos, Skillet, and Linkin Park would really love your sound, energy, themes, and visuals...

[@DrPsyche26]

Wooooo I am REDy!!!!

[@jillianhogan3748]

This one has an early 2000s feel to it. And I'm living for it. I absolutely love this song.

[@edn_svn]

It's giving Paramore meets Evanescence

[@xxxsaraHelloxxx]

I get cicadas 👏🏼🥳🦾

[@krisscott4846]

@@edn_svn yes definitely reminded me of Evanescense too!

[@Jujupandora]

So RED/Y for the Europe tour. September can't be here fast enough!!❤

[@na_naya]

Can't wait for Rockica!! 🖤

[@Shattered_shards]

Rockica is here and I’m living for it

[@dogofchaos]

I would have vibed with Mothica SO HARD when I was a teen. I still vibe (those backing vocals ARE FIREEEE), but I just feel like finding this band would have been one of those personality-forming experiences ♥

[@mxqueer]

*Grabs popcorn and comfy seat* ready for the premiere!

[@xxemorat127xx]

i cant wait till you become famous, ive been subbed for a few years so its exciting knowing i was here at the start of your journey then you become famous and ill be able to call myself an og

[@ellexarden]

young mothica being there to help big mothica off the stage stopppp 😭

[@Myosotis.journaling]

Who’s still listening to this on repeat 👋🏻
💃💃💃 🔁

[@belladona3608]

I'm loving these videos, the ton of work behind it it shows and that makes me love it even more. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all! Love from Spain!♥

[@danielcanton4325]

When i think she can't do better....she always do BETTER AND BEYOND ....WOW...JUST WOW MOTH

[@Lunabyes]

PLEASE KEEP MAKING ROCK I BEG!! THIS IS SO DAMN GOOD!!! I've been listening to it non stop since it dropped!!

[@matthewheistand2340]

I know right! Mothica has this special spot when she goes in on these rock songs and I love it. Her voice and style is perfect for this 🔥

[@rosequartz99]

I know you said on TikTok this was shot with a small audience and artfully edited, but what a boon - every close up shot the extra is so viscerally emotionally engaged with the music. Really cool to get to watch your art move other people like that

[@dracodragon671]

This song keeps getting better each listen. It almost feels ethereal.

[@matthewfry2590]

Cant wait for the manchester show. Gonna be so awesome. Whos going???❤

[@randomhuman678]

Currently this song has been on repeat since aproximatly 5pm last night
*its almost 8 the next day* :)

[@backrask]

GOD, heard the three singles together, one by one + video + lyrics is AMAZING. Can´t wait for the record.
Shotout to the idea of did one video for each song, you can feel the love and pasion behind it. So much better than some music videos of big bands in the rock/metal scene.
We love u ❤‍🔥

[@HaydenHaake]

I love the NIN undertones in the song!!! This is amazing and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. Been a fan since the early days on SoundCloud when I first discovered your music. Thanks for what you do.

[@matthewheistand2340]

First 2 were amazing. But this one I’m living for, the rock influence is clearly here. Love it 🔥💯

[@lily_rose24]

Everytime I hear a new song from mothica is a great day ❤

[@joshuaclark769]

Gonna be a hit like, “forever 15.” Love it. The Pisces in mothica is so visible lol

[@oliviamcwilliams9611]

I’m so excited!!!!

[@iswhatheis]

Oh, the bass.
The music arrangement alone reminds me of the Queen of the Damned soundtrack era - which I have missed for ages.
Keep up the awesomeness!
