“Codependent” by ANTINOVA delves into the profound introspection of an individual grappling with their inclination to rationalize irrational thoughts, fabricate lies, and adopt self-centered perspectives. The artist portrays a remarkable self-awareness regarding their codependent nature and the challenges associated with seeking validation and support from others. This creates a poignant depiction of feeling imprisoned and isolated, desperately yearning for someone to share their anguish or the strength to stand independently. The lyrics brilliantly unveil the deceptive cloak worn by their relationships, where trust is elusive and malevolent forces surreptitiously pose as friends. Ultimately, the artist finds themselves ensnared in the intricate web of codependency, fervently longing for the liberation to forge genuine connections.

ANTINOVA, a collaboration between Christian Gisondi and Randy Pasquarella from If I Were You, showcases their exceptional musical prowess in producing this captivating track. The fusion of their unique talents results in a captivating melody that perfectly complements the profound lyrics of “Codependent.” Gisondi’s soul-stirring vocals effortlessly convey the emotional depth and vulnerability of the narrative, while Pasquarella’s masterful composition skillfully intertwines hauntingly beautiful melodies with evocative instrumentals.
