yeti (feat. Old Sea Brigade)

Paris Paloma's song "Yeti (feat. Old Sea Brigade)" delves into the theme of lost connections and the emotional distance that grows between two people who were once close. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who have drifted apart, their paths no longer crossing, and their memories of each other fading into myth. The metaphor of the Yeti, a creature of legend rarely seen, underscores the rarity and elusiveness of their encounters, emphasizing how they have become almost mythical figures in each other's lives.

The song's narrative is rich with imagery, such as "tracks in snowy ground" and "a shadow treading through the willows," which evoke a sense of isolation and separation. These images highlight the physical and emotional distance between the two characters. The lyrics also explore the idea of indifference, with lines like "Messages that reach our ears are met with an indifference" and "Sweet indifference, gentle apathy," suggesting that the emotional ties that once bound them have dissolved into a state of neutral dispassion.

Paris Paloma's collaboration with Old Sea Brigade adds a layer of depth to the song, blending their musical styles to create a haunting and reflective atmosphere. The repetition of the phrase "We’re nothing but myths now that neither of us believe in" serves as a poignant reminder of how relationships can transform over time, becoming mere shadows of what they once were. The song captures the bittersweet realization that sometimes, the best way to move forward is to let go and accept the quiet neutrality that comes with the end of a significant connection.
