Antidote
Orion Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love in the sky on the back of a dragon
It was magic
We were so high I thought I died cause I couldn't see heaven
It was heaven
But it was all a dream
I woke up in my bed
Its so damn hot in here
I got your message read
They tattletale like feds
Just wanna be your friend
And go downtown in the evenings
Sharing secrets I promise I'll keep them

Let's just stay inside my vehicle
I can drive wherever let's go
Your smile is my antidote
Your smile is my antidote
Lets just stay inside my vehicle
I can drive wherever let's go
Your smile is my antidote
Your smile is my antidote

Riding through the city like
We gon rob a bank tonight
Like we ain't got work tonight
I got angels on my side
They ride or dies (so what you sayin)
We'll be just fine (so what you mean)
We'll be alright, so what you sayin yeah
So what you sayin, we'll be just fine
So sweet like krispy kreme
So smooth like mr. softee
Come down my street please
I got cash money

Let's just stay inside my vehicle
I can drive wherever let's go
Your smile is my antidote
Your smile is my antidote

Let's just stay inside my vehicle
I can drive wherever let's go
Your smile is my antidote
Your smile is my antidote

I don't play the keys like Alicia
But I rock the boat like Aaliyah
Of course I'ma change for a feature
I don't even know ya
All this is musical theatre
With all this drama in my life
I don't need that




You could take that back
Oh, you could take that back

Overall Meaning

The song "Antidote" by Orion Sun is a whimsical love letter to a romantic partner that describes the feeling of falling in love and the highs and lows that come with it. The lyrics are metaphorical, with the singer painting a picture of a dream where they fell in love while riding on the back of a dragon in the sky. The description of the experience as "magic" and "heaven" suggests an otherworldly feeling, where the love feels all-encompassing and almost unreal. However, this dreamlike state is disrupted by reality, where the singer wakes up in her bed feeling hot, and receives a message from someone that is potentially trying to stir up drama. Despite this, the singer is eager to spend time with her partner and suggests they stay inside her vehicle and drive wherever they want to go. Her partner's smile is seen as an antidote to the anxieties and stresses of life, and being with them makes everything feel all right.


While the song's lyrics do not explicitly mention drugs, the use of the word "antidote" suggests a potential reference to substances that could ease the singer's worries. However, it is also possible to interpret the "antidote" as the singer's partner and their love, which serves as a balm for the singer's emotional state. Ultimately, the song celebrates the joy of being in love and presents a whimsical escape from the pressures of everyday life.
