ANTIDOTE
Entropy. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are dreams such as this
I keep in my pocket
Tuck my shirt the way you like them
But I don't feel like myself anymore
The more I give
The less I am
I chug my coffee down and start again
Say it more than once
The syntax sounds the same
The syllables lost its meaning
Say it with your eyes closed
Pace back and forth as you left behind a fire
Whose warmth do you come back to at night?
My body is but a cage for a love long lost
Come back to me




Come home
You're my home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Entropy.'s song Antidote are quite introspective and reveal the inner workings of the singer's mind as they grapple with their feelings of disconnection and longing. The opening lines of the song, "There are dreams such as this, I keep in my pocket", seem to suggest that the singer is carrying around some kind of deep-seated aspirations or desires, but they are kept hidden away, perhaps because they are afraid of what might happen if they bring them to the surface. This is further supported by the line "But I don't feel like myself anymore", which suggests that the singer's true self has become obscured by the weight of their unmet needs and desires.


The next few lines explore the idea that the more the singer tries to give, the less they feel like themselves, possibly indicating that they have been putting others' needs before their own for too long. The repetition of the phrase "Say it more than once" suggests that the singer is struggling to communicate their true feelings, perhaps because they fear rejection or judgment. The line "My body is but a cage for a love long lost" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer feels trapped by their own emotions, unable to move beyond a past love and find closure. This builds to the climax of the song, where the singer desperately pleads for their love to come back to them and restore their sense of belonging and home.


Overall, Antidote is a powerful and emotive song that explores themes of longing, disconnect, and desperation. It invites the listener into the singer's inner world, where they are struggling to find meaning and purpose amidst their overwhelming emotions.
