Remedy
Night Riots Lyrics

The lyrics to Night Riots's song Remedy speak to the idea of missing someone deeply and seeking comfort in their presence. The first verse describes slipping into fevered dreams where the singer is missing their loved one. They don't want to talk to anyone else on the phone because they are yearning for this person specifically. The urgency in their desire for their loved one is palpable in the line "So hurry home the quickest route."

The second verse introduces the sound of a train, which can be interpreted as both a literal and metaphorical call to action. The shadows closing in and unspoken fears add to the sense of unease and anxiety that comes with missing someone. Despite this, the singer again reiterates their need for this person: "Don't call me on the phone I could talk with anyone / I need you here I want you now."

The chorus reveals that this person is the singer's "remedy" and "quickest cure." The repetition of the line "Don't call me on the phone I could talk with anyone" emphasizes the importance and exclusivity of this person's presence in their life. The urgency in the singer's desire for their loved one is palpable throughout the song and ultimately showcases the powerful comfort and healing that can come from human connection.
