“parasite” by mehro – A Song Feature

 

      The first verse of the single from mehro features an appealing guitar hook and his calming voice. When “Parasite” reaches its chorus, the warmth remains, while the lushness is enhanced by layered strings. Interestingly, the song is about misleading appeal. mehro explains:
   "parasite" is the story of how something so grotesque can appear to be so beautiful; a toxic relationship that feeds off the hope of the unsuspecting heart. I wanted to create a sonic world that embodied the illusion of that deceptive beauty, and to tell that story uncompromised. To me this is alchemy.
 
     mehro is based in Los Angeles. Quoting informative information:
  “parasite" is lush, layering strings and atmospherics over a driving acoustic guitar. Reflecting on his personal "parasite”, mehro confronts those dark places he normally keeps hidden behind "silly faces". This self-awareness is best shown in the line, "victim trophies glistening fake gold/ and you won't let go". There is comfort in acknowledging when outward mistakes are rooted in trauma. But if there's acknowledgement, that means it is time for the next step: putting in the work to heal and move forward. mehro once again finds beauty in this confusing thing we call life through the evocative “parasite."

Lyrics of “parasite” by ​mehro
Entering at the perfect time
Disguising what truly is behind
Shallow voice and silly faces
Won't expose you, you'll stay nameless
 
Parasite, I need nitazoxanide
Keep you in the sunlight
Let you wither and die
What's the benefit here of your existence?
Please tell me you're listening
Victim trophies glistening
Fake gold and you won't let go
 
Don't want to hear the voices
Keep me up as I try sleeping
Slide toxic fumes into thе room
Maybe then we'll gеt rid of you
 
Parasite, I need nitazoxanide
Keep you in the sunlight
Let you wither and die
What's the benefit here of your existence?
Please tell me you're listening
Victim trophies glistening
Fake gold and you won't let go
