Antidote
newfamiliar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m sitting on my own with the lights down low
It's cold up here, and I can′t heed my soul
Caught between the sky and the streets below
I'm missing you and I can't let go

You took me to the stars but
Then we fell, and I never
Hit the ground

I′m hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it's you
And I can′t stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on

The thought of moving on I promise I′ve tried
But all of the memoires echo in my mind
The feeling of you beside me at night
Waking up without you just doesn't feel right

You took me to the stars but
Then we fell, and I never
Hit the ground

I'm hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it′s you
And I can't stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on

It's not having you that′s the poison
It's not having you here
It feels like there's only one thing to cure this
I′m empty, I′m void in this atmosphere

It's not having you that′s the poison
It's not having you here
It feels like there′s only one thing to cure this
I'm empty, I′m void in this atmosphere
Tell me we're gonna get through this

I'm hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it′s you
And I can't stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on




Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on

Line by Line Meaning

I'm sitting on my own with the lights down low
I'm alone in the dark


It's cold up here, and I can't heed my soul
I feel lonely and lost


Caught between the sky and the streets below
Feeling stuck and uncertain


I'm missing you and I can't let go
Can't move on from past relationship


You took me to the stars but
We had great moments together


Then we fell, and I never
But it ended badly


Hit the ground
And I never fully moved on


I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in
Feeling stuck and down


The darkest one, no silver lining
In a very difficult situation


Waiting for the antidote, it's you
Only thing that can heal me is rekindling relationship


And I can't stop holding on
Can't let go of the past


Can't stop, stop holding on
Still attached to memories


Can't stop, stop holding on
Unable to move on


Can't stop, stop holding on
Still wishing for reconciliation


The thought of moving on I promise I've tried
But can't seem to forget about past relationship


But all of the memories echo in my mind
Memories are still very present


The feeling of you beside me at night
Miss intimacy of past relationship


Waking up without you just doesn't feel right
Still not used to being alone


It's not having you that's the poison
The absence of past relationship is hurting


It's not having you here
Miss having ex in life


It feels like there's only one thing to cure this
Rekindling relationship will fix everything


I'm empty, I'm void in this atmosphere
Feeling lost and empty without ex


Tell me we're gonna get through this
Hope for reconciliation

구름

난 불을 끄고 혼자 앉아있어
I'm sitting on my own with the lights down low

여기는 춥고 내 영혼에 주의를 기울일 수 없어
It's cold up here, and I can't heed my soul

하늘과 아래 거리 사이에 끼어
Caught between the sky and the streets below

당신이 그리워요 그리고 난 놓을 수 없어요

I'm missing you and I can't let go

당신은 나를 별에 데려갔지만

You took me to the stars but

그리고 우리는 넘어졌고, 나는 결코
Then we fell, and I never

땅을 치다
Hit the ground
내가 있는 구름에 매달려 있어
I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in

가장 어두운 것, 은색 안감 없음
The darkest one, no silver lining

해독제를 기다리고 있어, 너야
Waiting for the antidote, it's you

앞으로 나아가겠다는 생각은 노력했다고 약속할게
The thought of moving on I promise I've tried

하지만 모든 기억이 내 마음에 울려퍼져
But all of the memoires echo in my mind

밤에 내 옆에 있는 너의 느낌
The feeling of you beside me at night

너 없이 일어나는 건 기분이 좋지 않아
Waking up without you just doesn't feel right


그리고 우리는 넘어졌고, 나는 결코
Then we fell, and I never

땅을 치다
Hit the ground

내가 있는 구름에 매달려 있어
I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in

가장 어두운 것, 은색 안감 없음
The darkest one, no silver lining

해독제를 기다리고 있어, 너야
Waiting for the antidote, it's you

너 없는게 독이야
It's not having you that's the poison

네가 여기 있는 게 아니야
It's not having you here

이것을 치료할 수 있는 유일한 방법이 있는 것 같습니다.
It feels like there's only one thing to cure this

난 공허해 이 분위기 속에 난 공허해
I'm empty, I'm void in this atmosphere

너 없는게 독이야
It's not having you that's the poison

네가 여기 있는 게 아니야
It's not having you here

우리가 이 일을 이겨낼 거라고 말해줘
Tell me we're gonna get through this


내가 있는 구름에 매달려 있어
I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in

가장 어두운 것, 은색 안감 없음
The darkest one, no silver lining

해독제를 기다리고 있어, 너야
Waiting for the antidote, it's you


내가 있는 구름에 매달려 있어
I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in

가장 어두운 것, 은색 안감 없음
The darkest one, no silver lining

해독제를 기다리고 있어, 너야
Waiting for the antidote, it's you


하늘과 아래 거리 사이에 끼어
Caught between the sky and the streets below

당신이 그리워요 그리고 난 놓을 수 없어요
I'm missing you and I can't let go
