Antidote
Moon Bounce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I can hear it in your tone
You don't love me

So I've been snooping through your phone
It's not beneath me

Don't you enjoy it
Feeling like hot shit?
When you pretend you're not home

Why can't you see it?




He is the poison
I am the antidote

Oh, I can hear it in your tone
I can perceive from the tone of your voice that you do not have love for me


You don't love me
You do not have any feelings of love towards me


So I've been snooping through your phone
I have been secretly checking your phone without your knowledge


It's not beneath me
I did it because I felt that it was necessary, even if it was morally questionable


Don't you enjoy it
Do you not feel satisfied


Feeling like hot shit?
When you feel really good about yourself


When you pretend you're not home
When you act like you are not available or cannot be reached


Why can't you see it?
Do you not understand


He is the poison
He is the harmful substance that is causing damage to our relationship


I am the antidote
I am the cure or solution to the harm inflicted by the poison
