Parasite

Parasite is about the kind of person who doesn’t just take from you — they slowly consume you.

The kind of person who feeds on your energy, your compassion, and your pain until you feel like there’s almost nothing left of yourself. Much like a parasite, they can only survive if you keep giving them something to drain.

For a long time you might not realize what’s happening. You keep trying harder, giving more, hoping the situation will somehow change. But the reality is that people like this don’t want change — they want a source.

One verse from the song captures that feeling best:

“Like a demon waiting in the shadows,

Stealing souls and draining all the life.

Taking all and leaving next to nothing,

Carving hearts in pieces like a knife.”

Parasite is about recognizing that kind of person for what they are and breaking free before they take any more of you.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t surviving the parasite — it’s realizing you deserve to live without it.

Parasite

Lyrics by Amy Gould – Eden On Fire

Like a serpent lurking in the garden

Watching prey and waiting for the strike

Acquired abstracts used without discretion

Wielding lies to make you seem god like

Won't let you feed another day

I'm more than a keepsake

A trophy on display

I'm more than a namesake

To keep and lock away

I'm more than a number

To call up late at night

I'm more than a host for you

You're a parasite

Like a demon waiting in the shadows

Stealing souls and draining all the life

Taking all and leaving next to nothing

Carving hearts in pieces like a knife

Won't let you feed another day

I'm more than a keepsake

A trophy on display

I'm more than a namesake

To keep and lock away

I'm more than a number

To call up late at night

I'm more than a host for you

You're a parasite

I'm more than your plaything

To show off to the world

I am the thing that you

Will never get to hold

I'm more than predicted

I guess you got me wrong

My life is much better

Now that's your so far gone

I'm more than a keepsake

A trophy on display

I'm more than a namesake

To keep and lock away

I'm more than a number

To call up late at night

I'm more than a host for you

You're a parasite
