GrayWeather have shared an official video for “Parasite” featuring Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante. That track is taken from the group's newly released album “The Soma Collective.” The band said the following:
“The song and music video for ‘Parasite’ are both rooted in the same theme and concept. A moral quandary wherein two qualities are weighed against one another; selfishness and potential solipsism contrasted with the need for support and comfort while traversing difficulty in life.
The guilt that one can feel in reaching out and asking for help from others, even when desperately needed, is a powerful feeling. Where do the lines blur between asking for help when it is truly required and placing the full weight of our burdens on others? We can often be our own worst enemy as we suffer in silence, attempting to pull ourselves out of a hole that we have dug for ourselves.
These situations can be harmful to the individual going through them as well as to those around them, even when the intentions behind hiding our difficulties come from a place of selflessness. We begin to feel accustomed to the density of our burdens and fall into a trancelike existence, unfeeling and desensitized. It is only by breaking through the chosen silence that we can begin to move forward and be restored.”
