Talk:Entomologists/@comment-40255349-20191105201205

My interpretation of the song:

So the girl pictured/singing is some sort of moth. She says that "they" talk about her, and "they" have friends who are entomologists. Entomologists study insects. So since she is an insect herself, I think the entomologists are studying her, to get to know her. And all the knowledge they have of her, they share it with others. Hence the line, "they talk about me." So they talk about her the way entomologists share information on insect specimens.

Later, it says, "they get in real close." They get in real close the way scientists/entomologists get real close to insect study insects, like with magnifying glasses and microscopes or just with their plain eyes. They get close to her to study her, so they can have more to talk about her behind her back.

And in the first part of the song, she says, "sallowing faces" leave her behind. Sallowed faces are just green/pale/unhealthy faces. And they leave her behind. But then the second time, she says "sallowing *bodies* crawling on all fours." So now their entire bodies are unhealthy and pale. I don't know why they're crawling though. And now instead of referring to their entomologist friends, she says that "they" themselves call themselves metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is the process in which insects transform from an immature stage to an adult form. If they refer to themselves as a transformation of physical maturity, that means that their sallowed *bodies* are an upgrade from their previous swallowed *faces*. They wanted to become more swallowed, more unhealthy. I'm not sure what the crawling on all fours thing is about though.

Neither am I sure about the whole infestations and dream parts in the chorus lines.

Just what I think. Let me know what you think. Also she might be related or is the moth from Honey I'm Home.
