mash, THE NEW SINGLE “lara 2” feat drama
As he says Mash, Lara 2 And “an invitation to look our demons in the face and call them by name, paying attention above all to the people we surround ourselves with, because – as Lara's story shows us – some of them could turn out to be less 'human' than expected“.
In this regard, “The protagonist of this song, as can be understood from the scene I paint in the first verse, is a zombie. It is a metaphor for the wrong person, the one with whom it is dangerous to fall in love, as he is very skilled at attracting his holds to himself and then emptying them of their light and fueling his darkness.“.
mash, “lara 2” feat drama: STATEMENTS ABOUT THE SINGLE
Here's how he describes the song Mash:
“As a songwriter I love immersing myself in other people's experiences, not just my own, to re-emerge with new perspectives. In this piece I explore darkness, telling you about a sick love from the point of view of a strange life form or, rather, a non-life: a zombie.
For me the zombie love story of 'Lara 2' represents the metaphor of a destructive, toxic relationship, in which the prey is attracted by a skilled predator, whose sole objective is to feed on the light of others to fuel his own darkness. Or more simply, I've seen too many zombie movies and sooner or later I had to stick them in a text.
The verse of Drama reveals some interesting details about the history of Lara and he does it with a pen that I have always admired and that I am happy to have as a guest in this song. Review the refrain well, because the March 9 to the General Warehouses Of Milan we will need your voices!”.
