The musical work often tells the story of Kova and Luna; personifications of the sun and the moon and their lives, as well their fight against darker forces.
Antidote
We Are The Empty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gut you in the fading core
I don't know what you're waiting for today
Something stalks in the corridor
Wants us to be nevermore
Something stalks in the corridor always
I will never let you go
Cause you are the only working antidote
When you sound me out from the commotion
Sever all my broken bones
Cause you are the only working antidote
I'll paint you as a metaphor
Sun rays in the bitter cold
I'll paint you as a metaphor today
They'll taint you with the medicals
Turning you mechanical
They'll taint you with the medicals away
When you drown me down into the ocean
I will never let you go
Cause you are the only working antidote
When you sound me out from the commotion
Sever all my broken bones
Cause you are the only working antidote
If that's what you wanted
Then enter my lands
I'm taking you home
Infected and haunted
You sink through the sands
Into catacombs
The antidote
The antidote
The antidote
THE ANTIDOTE
RAGE
Something's gonna break
I NEED THE CHEMICAL
Now I'm gonna cave
GIVE ME THE ANTIDOTE
Something's gonna break
I NEED THE CHEMICAL
ANTIDOTE
When you drown me down into the ocean...
It's the only working antidote
When you sound me out from the commotion
Sever all my broken bones
Cause you are the only working antidote
When you drown me down into the ocean
I will never let you go
Cause you are the only working antidote
The song Antidote by We Are The Empty is a powerful and emotional track that explores the toxic effects of love and the search for a cure. The lyrics begin with a haunting and aggressive tone as the singer urges their lover to take action before it's too late. The metaphorical language that follows suggests that the singer is the antidote for their lover's emotional pain and trauma, using stark imagery of drowning and broken bones to convey the intensity of their connection.
As the song progresses, the mood shifts somewhat, with the singer using more tender and romantic language to describe their lover as a metaphor for sunshine in the cold. But even here there is a sense of threat and danger, as the singer warns that their lover will be tainted and turned into a machine by the medical establishment. The repeated refrain of "you are the only working antidote" suggests an almost desperate need for their lover's presence, with the singer willing to risk everything to be with them.
The song ultimately ends with a plea for the antidote, the chemical cure that will heal the singer's pain and brokenness. The final chorus is characterized by a raw and unbridled rage, with the singer demanding that something must break and that the antidote must be administered now. Antidote is a powerful and evocative song that showcases We Are The Empty's knack for combining intense emotions with memorable melodies and powerful lyrics.
