Alejandro Dimartino, the composer and the lead vocalist of Melancholia, is rumored on having Schizoaffective Disorder.
People with this disorder experiences symptoms of schizophrenia like delusions and hallucinations. Mood disorder symptoms are also apparent where depression and panic attacks devour his entire being.
Maraming nagsasabi na dito nagmumula ang mga lirikong naisusulat niya; songs that often talks about the extreme sadness or melancholy. This explains as to how darkness became his home.
Despite having this dark genre in music, many people are still drawn to him. Many can relate sa kanyang pagkamuhi sa mundo at sa kanyang pagmamahal sa kalungkutan.
He romanticizes sadness. Dahil parin para sakanya, it's the most unpretentious emotion anyone could ever feel.
My favorite song from his band was entitled Choosing my Poison. This song talks about the first girl that he loved the most despite knowing that potential of him getting poisoned.
It simply reminds everyone who listens to this songs on how he chooses the pain of loving someone over letting her go.
Choosing my poison is not my favorite song because of the tune and melody. It's my favorite song because that song is dedicated to me.
I am the poison that he is talking about.
