Megan Fox is making significant strides in her career by diversifying her skill set.
The talented actress, known for her role in Jennifer’s Body, has recently added the titles of musical writer and composer to her impressive résumé, following the release of Machine Gun Kelly’s latest album, Lost Americana.
This remarkable achievement highlights her creative versatility, as she was credited on her ex-fiancé’s poignant song “orpheus,” which is featured as the 13th track on the album that dropped on August 8, according to both Spotify and Genius.
The emotional ballad narrates the heart-wrenching tale of Orpheus, one of the most tragic figures in Greek mythology, who embarks on a perilous journey to the underworld in a desperate attempt to reclaim his beloved wife, Eurydice, after her untimely death.
This narrative of love and sacrifice reveals how Hades and Persephone grant Orpheus the chance to return with Eurydice under the condition that he must not gaze upon her until they reach the surface. However, Orpheus’s doubts lead him to look back too soon, resulting in the irreversible loss of Eurydice.
In the song, MGK expresses the depth of his feelings, singing, “I’ll find Hell to be trapped into / To get back to you / Just for this moment, can I hold you? / Feel your heartbeat ’til it fades / And in this moment, it’s me and you only / I will love you for all my days.” This heartfelt message resonates with anyone who has experienced the profound pain of love lost.
