ANTIDOTE
Johan Palm Lyrics

What is this
Johan Palm is confused about the situation he finds himself in.

I couldn't see
He is unable to understand what is happening.

But if I could change things I'd go back
Despite his confusion, he knows something went wrong and he wishes to fix it.

To where we went wrong
He wants to go back to the point where everything went wrong.

I uh
He stutters, unable to find the right words to explain his thoughts.

I hear rumors 'bout another time, another place
He has heard rumors of a better time, but doesn't know where it is.

But I can't find it
Despite searching, he is unable to find this better time he has heard of.

Huh
Johan Palm is feeling confused and unsure of what to think.

Could've been
He reflects on what could have been.

Where we fell
The point where things went wrong and Johan Palm and his partner fell apart.

When you thought I had it all worked out
Johan's partner believed he had everything under control, but he didn't.

But nothing fits
Despite his best efforts, Johan Palm cannot make things work.

Could've been the times
He thinks that maybe the circumstances or timing were not right.

But we will never know since none of us will stay to see
No one will be around long enough to see how things would have turned out differently, so it's pointless to dwell on it.

The last parade to walk this town
This is a metaphor for the end of things and the feeling that there is nothing left to do.

Don't believe it's true
Despite everything, he still can't believe what has happened.

I had you still I know
He knows he had his partner, but things still fell apart.

I was so full of you
Johan was deeply in love with his partner and they were a big part of his life.

Now what is this
Johan is still unable to understand and is feeling lost.

I see your lips
He can see his partner's lips moving, but can't understand what they are saying.

But I still can't hear a single word
Johan is trying to listen, but still can't comprehend what his partner is saying.

Could've been alright
He thinks that things could have worked out if his partner hadn't changed.

If you hadn't gone and changed your ways
His partner changing was the cause of their breakup.

I'd change my mind
Johan would reconsider if things could go back to how they were.

And I won't have it out, be gone
He becomes defeated and won't argue anymore, accepting the situation.
