PARASITE
Breaking Free: Defying the Parasitic Grip
Lyrics
Drained my power
Feeling emotionally exhausted or depleted of strength
Like you did before
Similar to a past experience of draining energy
I won't cower
Refusing to be intimidated or frightened
Now I've locked the door
Metaphorical closure or separation by locking a door
And here I tell the tale of
Narrating an experience or story
When I should have died
Reflecting on a moment of survival when death seemed imminent
Guess it's true
Acknowledging a perceived truth
I've always struggled with goodbyes
Struggling with the difficulty of saying goodbye
I only saw the best as
Seeing only the positive aspects of a person or situation
Your spell struck my eyes
Being enchanted or influenced by someone's influence
Put my pain to rest
Finding relief or resolution for emotional pain
I'm on the other side
Having overcome challenges and moved to a different state
I'm not scared of you
Expressing fearlessness towards a perceived threat
I will no longer feed you the food
Rejecting the act of providing sustenance or support
Parasite
Metaphorical representation of a draining or harmful influence
I've broken from your prison
Successfully escaping from a confining situation
And I should have mentioned
Acknowledging a failure to communicate a significant point
You've just been evicted
Announcing the removal or expulsion of someone
Stockholm syndrome
Referencing a psychological phenomenon where victims bond with their captors
Who's the victim?
Raising the question of who is the real victim in the relationship
Is it me or you?
Uncertainty about the roles of victim and perpetrator
Ran away but still I stayed
Physically leaving but emotionally staying attached
I thought you were the truth
Initial belief in the authenticity or truthfulness of a person or situation
Here I tell the tale of
Repeating the narrative of survival and resilience
When I should have died
Reflecting on another moment when survival seemed unlikely
Guess it's true
Acknowledging the ongoing struggle with goodbyes
I've always struggled with goodbyes
Reiteration of difficulty in parting ways
I only saw the best as
Selective perception of positive qualities in a person or situation
Your spell struck my eyes
Being captivated or influenced by someone's charm
Put my pain to rest
Finding resolution or peace for emotional pain
I'm on the other side
Having moved to a different emotional or mental state
I'm not scared of you
Expressing fearlessness towards a perceived threat (repeated)
I will no longer feed you the food
Rejecting the act of providing sustenance or support (repeated)
Parasite
Metaphorical representation of a draining or harmful influence (repeated)
I've broken from your prison
Successfully escaping from a confining situation (repeated)
And I should have mentioned
Acknowledging a failure to communicate a significant point (repeated)
You've just been evicted
Announcing the removal or expulsion of someone (repeated)
I can see it now
Realizing the dependency of the other party
You really needed me
Acknowledging the contribution of energy to the other party
I gave you energy
Metaphorical reference to the draining nature of the relationship
Parasite
Metaphorical representation of a draining or harmful influence (repeated)
I've broken from your prison
Successfully escaping from a confining situation (repeated)
And I should have mentioned
Acknowledging a failure to communicate a significant point (repeated)
You've just been evicted
Announcing the removal or expulsion of someone (repeated)
You've just been evicted
Reiteration of the removal or expulsion of someone (repeated)
You've just been evicted
Final confirmation of the removal or expulsion of someone (repeated)
