“The Definition of Opposite” is a song about unrequited loved and “resolved and strength in the face of sadness”. This makes this track, Damien Lamar’s second international single and features music production by French ambient/electro beat-maker, Mikhael Jabroux, the track is ominous, sincere and opens with Damien Lamar’s honest lyricism: “you’re looking in my face, right in front of me and I’m trying to tell you something.”
lyrics
You're looking at my face, right in front of me
You're staring in my face right in front of me
And i'm trying to tell you something,
You can't face the love that i have for you,
You hate the thought of me completely loving you,
And you don't understand it,
'Cause we're opposite.
And you don't understand it,
'Cause we're opposite.
Opposite.
[SCENE II]
You're standing on the edge of a past-time
You're running from me, pretending to be blind
You can't accept that this love is real
Blind folded by the presence of ….... f.e.a.r .
(false evidence appearing real)
