Lyrics
I'm the antidote for nothin'
I represent a remedy that's ineffective or inconsequential
You take me twice a day with food and then repeat
You consume me regularly as prescribed, mimicking a routine
'Spose I'm helpin' out with somethin'
Seemingly aiding in a situation, fulfilling a role
Cause I'm an anchor and your ship Is sinkin' down
I serve as stability while your circumstances deteriorate
I don't care
Indifference towards being discarded
Dispose me like you do
Treat me as disposable as you usually do
What we share could turn to something
The connection we have has potential for evolution
So let's pretend we're older
Suggesting to act as if we possess more maturity
Dancin' in the the street at night and
Imagining a scenario of youthful freedom and joy
You could touch my shoulder
A gesture of intimacy, a casual touch
Burn this flame and turn to something new
To extinguish the current connection and start anew
I'm like you
Identifying similarities between oneself and the other
We're real like tattoos
Comparing the genuine nature of the connection to permanent tattoos
We're in the aftermath of nothing
Existing in the aftermath of nothingness
One awful paradox of personal defeat
An ironic contradiction of personal failure
You are holdin' on to somethin'
You cling to something intangible
A fleeting memory of which I've never seen
A memory retained despite never experiencing it
Do you care that I am spread too thin?
Concern about being emotionally depleted
What we share deserves to function
Asserting the importance of our connection
So let's pretend we're older
Proposing to act more mature, similar to older individuals
Dancin' in the the street at night and
Envisioning carefree nights and closeness
You could touch my shoulder
Inviting a tactile connection
Burn this flame and turn to something new
To extinguish the current connection and start anew
I'm like you
Recognizing shared similarities
We're real like tattoos
Comparing the genuine nature of the connection to permanent tattoos
And let's meet you at the boulder and
Proposal to meet at a specific location
We can jam to indie bands
Suggesting enjoying music together
And look out at the whole world
Admiring the vastness of the world
Burn this flame and turn to something new
To extinguish the current connection and start anew
I'm like you
Identifying shared similarities
We're real like tattoos
Comparing the genuine nature of the connection to permanent tattoos
