ANTIDOTE
Amo Amo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm living all the time inside my head
My body and my mind are in separation
How do I get them back together again?
Somehow I lost the connection
Am I just a floating brain?
Is my blood still in circulation?
I spend too much time in calculation
I'm living all the time with these voices in my head
My body and my mind are in separation
How do I get them back together again?
Then something strange begins to happen
The ground is moving, blood orange in the sky
The mouth of the earth begins to open
"You know what you must do to survive"
You must move, love, dance more.
Move
Love
Dance
More
You must
Move
Love
Dance
More
You must
Move
Love
Dance
More
Oh, you must
Move
Love
Dance
More
You must
Move
Love
Dance
More
You must
Move Love
Dance More
Move, Love, Dance, More
Move, Love, Dance, More
The lyrics of Amo Amo's song Antidote delve into the struggle of bringing together one's body and mind. The singer laments spending too much time calculating and living within their head, causing a disconnection between their mind and body. The lyrics touch upon the universal experience of feeling out of touch with oneself and seeking a way to find harmony between the two. The chorus offers a solution, urging the listener to move, love, and dance more. The shift in tone during the chorus signifies a radical change in perspective, an epiphany of sorts. The ground moving and blood orange sky symbolize the upheaval that comes with change, and the mouth of the earth opening signifies a new beginning.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one can understand them as a reminder to take a break from overthinking and connect with oneself through movement and love. The chorus implores the listener to live with intention and to move their body as a means to connect with their mind and soul. The song is an anthem to self-love and calls all to embrace the present moment, to live fully, and to enjoy life.
