the vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll suck your venom out
Show me where it really hurts
I’ll show you where it really hurts
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Honey, your clothes are soaked
Mom leaves my daddy’s trapes
Show me where it really hurts
I’ll show you where it really hurts
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
Should’ve stopped for the wind
Should’ve stopped for love
The lyrics of Vincent's song "Antidote," convey a message of being a solution to someone's pain and distress. The repetition of "I am the antidote" is a reinforcement of the idea that the singer is the cure to whatever is causing the pain. The following line "I'll suck your venom out" implies that the singer is not afraid of the danger that the other person might possess because the remedy is in their control.
The lines "Show me where it really hurts, I'll show you where it really hurts" suggest that the singer is willing to empathize with the other person's struggle and help them understand their pain better. They are willing to share their own pain and heal together.
The repetition of "Should’ve stopped for the wind, Should’ve stopped for love," is intriguing and may have multiple interpretations. It could imply that the person is regretful of not taking the time to feel the wind or love, and is now facing the consequences of their actions. Alternatively, this could be a metaphor for stopping to take a moment and appreciate the beauty and pureness of life, rather than rushing past it.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of healing through shared struggles, understanding and empathy.
