Remedy
Little Boots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been here before
Temptation calls like Adam to the apple
But I will not be caught
'Cause I can read those velvet eyes
And all I see is lies
No more poison
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop stop praying
'Cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope
All I've got's the floor
Yeah, you can try but I've found the antidote
Music is the cure
So you can try to paralyze
But I know best this time
No more poison
Killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop stop praying
'Cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
La-da, da-da, la-da, la-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da, la-da
And when the music fades away
I know I'll be okay
Contagious rhythm in my brain
Let it play
No more poison
Killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop stop praying
'Cause I'm not not playing
I'm not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Move while you're watching me
Dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
