Detzany – “Parasite”

Their time together, in her opinion, ended too soon. She ruminates about the past and longs to hold on a little tighter. The singer concludes that they’re preying on her membrane, “You’re like a parasite running through my mind/All night,” Detzany delivers.

By the second verse, she yearns to still have them in her everyday life. Detzany correlates the feeling to “pulling their thread.” No matter how tight her grip is, it gets loose. She begins to wonder if this prolonged feeling means they’ll find their way to one another or have to face the sad reality that they’re gone forever. “Is this a sign or just a lie?” she sings. Instead of pretending things are okay, the singer admits to going “through the cycles pretending to be fine.” The somber R&B beat casts the waves that come with grief. Detzany recites a beautiful montage in Spanish, ending “Parasite” on a bittersweet note.

All-in-all, “Parasite” mirrors the feeling of missing someone who is no longer there. Her sentiment and vulnerability inspire others to be open about how they’ve been dealing with a certain loss.

She says, “This song is dedicated to my sister and to all of those who have lost a loved one and those beautiful memories that still remain.”
