Parasite

Electric Callboy's song 'Parasite' delves into the complex and often dark relationship between an individual and a parasitic entity that has taken over their life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a struggle for control, where the parasite represents a toxic influence or addiction that has embedded itself deeply within the person's psyche. The opening lines, 'I can feel it taking over all my senses / Getting slower,' set the tone for a narrative of gradual domination and loss of self-control.

The chorus, 'You and me forever / You're like a parasite / But you keep me alive,' encapsulates the paradoxical nature of this relationship. Despite the destructive influence of the parasite, there is a twisted sense of dependency. The individual acknowledges the harm but also recognizes that the parasite has become an integral part of their existence. This duality is further emphasized by the lines, 'I know you're lying but the truth is what I fear,' highlighting the internal conflict between wanting to break free and fearing the unknown without the parasite.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of struggle and surrender. The lyrics, 'We struggled all the way / And it was still okay / But I lost it when you got into my head,' suggest a battle that has been ongoing, with moments of temporary peace overshadowed by the parasite's relentless grip. The imagery of the parasite feeding on 'Sadness, your nightmares, your dirty little soul' underscores the emotional and psychological toll it takes. The song's haunting conclusion, 'You are dead but alive,' leaves listeners with a chilling reminder of the inescapable nature of this parasitic relationship, where the individual is left in a state of living death, forever entwined with their tormentor.
