about

Did you know that insects don't grow? My son is deeply into insects and knows a lot about them. Thus, as his mother, I have gained a certain amount of knowledge about them too, and have come to realise what fascinating creatures they truly are.

lyrics

Insect Song

Insects don't grow, don't change their size
They metamorphosise.
Each time they enter and new phase
It's an entirely new stage.

And I wonder, does it feel like dying?
And I wonder, do they look back pining
For what they were, before they were
What they were to become.

Some shed their skin
Renewing themselves from within.
Others grow wings, don't eat anything
And they die within a week.
