Estigma

Xenon's song 'Estigma' delves into the emotional turmoil and aftermath of a painful separation. The lyrics express a deep sense of loss and the struggle to cope with the absence of a loved one. The artist uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the feelings of abandonment and the internal battle that ensues. The mention of alcohol filling the veins instead of love suggests an attempt to numb the pain, while the liver filtering 'kisses into letters' could symbolize the transformation of affectionate memories into something more bitter and permanent, like the written word.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'when you leave, anxiety returns,' highlights the cyclical nature of the pain and the difficulty in moving on. The artist feels left behind, unable to keep up with the pace of life without the other person. The anxiety is personified as a returning entity, emphasizing its inevitability and the struggle to maintain a facade of normalcy ('disimulate').

Throughout the song, Xenon touches on themes of self-reflection and resilience. Despite the coldness felt when the other person drifts away, there's a determination to overcome the fear and pain. The lyrics 'I want you to continue even if everything fails' and 'I can move forward even if fear tells me no' suggest a resolve to heal and grow stronger from the experience. The song ends on a note of self-empowerment, with the artist asserting the ability to move on despite the emotional scars left behind.
