The two songs in my "Medea" collection are modern riffs on the classic myth, encapsulating themes of love, betrayal, and disillusionment. The second song reflects N's pain of trusting and never receiving genuine love until gaining importance, mirroring Medea's betrayal by Jason despite her sacrifices. The first song explores the revelation of superficiality in a former love interest, paralleling Medea's disillusionment with Jason’s shallow pursuit of status. Through rich metaphorical imagery and emotional depth, these songs reimagine Medea's narrative into a modern exploration of passion's descent into vengeance and the search for genuine connection. Just as Medea’s love turns to ashes in the wake of betrayal, "N" navigates a charred emotional landscape where trust is a fragile golden fleece—once a coveted prize, now a tarnished relic of shattered illusions, This imagery not only underscores the transformation of love into resentment but also highlights the relentless pursuit of authenticity amidst the ruins of superficiality.
