Vocalist Maya Pobst shares:
“‘A Display of Penance’ is a song about mental health and how it can latch on like a psychological parasite. Most of the song is from the parasite’s perspective, finding its new victim to latch onto and corrupt from the inside. Over time, the host almost finds comfort in the familiarity of the Parasite despite the great deal of pain it’s causing. As we move into the interlude and verse 2, the host has decided to fight back against its mental oppressor and seeks to destroy it, only for it to eventually come back and be ever so present by the end of the song. To me this represents the cyclic journey of dealing with mental illness and experiencing the periods of mania versus depression.”
