Antidote
Unveiling the Emotional Tapestry: Antidote by Julie Ellinor
Lyrics
I hope
I have a wish or desire
You know
Assuming you are aware
That you’re my antidote
You are my remedy or solution
But I’m low
I am feeling down or depressed
The bed’s cold
The bed is lacking warmth
We’re howling on our own
We are experiencing loneliness or isolation together
What if on the other side
Contemplating the potential positives on the other side of a situation
We would get the best of life?
Wondering if there could be a better life elsewhere
I’m broken don’t you see it babe?
Expressing personal brokenness and seeking acknowledgment
I know you do
Acknowledging the partner's understanding of the speaker's brokenness
What if we block out the light
Considering blocking out positivity without a clear reason
Without any reason why?
Suggesting a need for personal space without a defined cause
Maybe we both need the space
Both individuals may require distance or independence
You’re broken too
Acknowledging the partner's brokenness as well
When I see a photograph
Reflecting on positive memories through photographs
All the good times come back
Recalling good times from the past
Maybe we’re meant to be
Considering the possibility of being destined for each other
Or maybe we just like to believe
Recognizing the tendency to believe in a positive outcome
What if on the other side
Reiterating the exploration of potential positive outcomes
We would get the best of life?
Reiterating the desire for the best in life
I’m broken don’t you see it babe?
Reiterating personal brokenness for emphasis
I know you do
Acknowledging the partner's awareness of the speaker's brokenness
What if we block out the light
Considering shutting out positivity without a clear cause
Without any reason why?
Contemplating the need for personal space without a clear reason
Maybe we both need the space
Suggesting a mutual need for distance or independence
You’re broken too
Acknowledging the partner's brokenness and need for space
I’m scared that I need you too much like a habit
Expressing fear of dependence on the partner like a habit
Can’t breath I (I do mind)
Experiencing difficulty breathing due to anxiety or fear
All I can think of is you being sad cause’ of me I (I do mind)
Worrying about causing the partner sadness
My head spins around and it tears me apart
Feeling disoriented and emotionally torn
I can’t breathe I
Expressing difficulty in breathing
I do mind
Reiterating concern about causing distress to the partner
Yeah I do mind
Reiterating the speaker's concern and unease
