Swedish House Mafia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't stop, turn that up, take it higher
Take this motherfo' up, start a riot
Don't stop, turn that up, take it higher
Take this motherfo' up, start a riot
There's a glitch inside my system
Rushing through my whole existence
Got me twisted, can't resist this
Something's flipping all my switches

Take'em, break'em, make'em feel it
Mix it up and mass appeal it
Pressure is riding me hard
Killer dose right through my heart

And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote

There's no antidote

There's no antidote
