With Dragon, Flora Cash invites us to bear witness to the searing journey of the soul. Cole Randall’s raw lyricism strips away pretence, exposing the vulnerability of feeling lost, bound by illusions we mistake for truth. His vocal performance reverberates with an aching authenticity.
Yet, beneath the melancholy lies a defiant spark, a refusal to succumb to the shadows. Randall’s words challenge us to shed complacency’s shackles, to reclaim our truth, and to let the veil of delusion fall. “I feel like an angel who’s come out from hell to believe,” he declares, a galvanising call to embrace the arduous path of self-discovery.
The atmospheric production cocoons you in a space where vulnerability can thrive, where the ashes of despondency can smoulder and ultimately ignite into a blaze of rebirth. Randall’s desperate plea, “I hope that you’re there when I close my eyes, I need you so,” resonates as a profound invocation for the strength to soar anew.
In Dragon, Flora Cash has forged an anthem for the weary soul, a visceral reminder that even in our darkest moments, the inextinguishable embers of resilience still burn, waiting to be stoked into an inferno of renewal. It’s a poignant exploration encapsulating the transformative power of unflinching introspection.
