Lyrics

So tired of sadness
Consuming my soul
Darkness surrounds me
Trying to swallow me whole
Feels like there’s poison
Coursing through my veins
It burns me up inside
‘Till nothing remains
I nearly gave up hope
Of ever finding a cure
To the venom inside me
How much can I endure…
Then you appeared here, boy
And gave me, you gave me love
You’re more than I hoped for
Like a dream you walked out of
You lifted me, lifted my spirit
My heart’s caught in my throat
I was so hopeless without you…
But you… you’re the antidote!
Mmmm—
Now my life is so full
Oh, like never before
Each day something new
And I’m left wanting more
There’s no more poison
Coursing through my veins
I’m truly complete now
No more toxin remains
I’d given up all hope
Of ever finding my cure
You took all my venom
You made my heart pure…
Yes, you entered my life, boy
And gave me, you gave me love
I could barely believe it, oh no
Like the dream you walked out of
You lifted me, lifted my spirit
My heart’s caught in my throat
I was so hopeless without you…
But you… you’re the antidote!
Mmmm—
No more sadness
No more doubt
No more loneliness
No more living without
You’ve given me love
Of that I am sure
I’m no longer sick
Cuz you are the cure
You changed my whole life, boy
And gave me, you gave me love
You’re more than I could ask for
Like the dream you walked out of
You lifted me, lifted my spirit
My heart’s caught in my throat
I was so hopeless without you…
But you… you’re the antidote!
Mmmm—
You are the cure
Yes I am sure
You are forever my…
You are my antidote

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

This is a tough one. On the surface it feels like a simple metaphor, but there’s more than just a double meaning at play. Anastasia had been battling illness that doctors couldn’t explain. She kept passing out inexplicably and falling over. They tried to brush it off and claim it was just lack of proper diet (after seeing how thin she had become) not realizing nor listening to us when I explained she actually ate more than I did. They then tried claiming it was just panic attacks and all sort of things without wanting to do proper testing. I had to send her to Europe because the costs here without insurance were eating us alive. The costs overseas were 1% what they were here and the same (and even better) level of care. They soon discovered she had breast cancer and it required surgery. She had recorded the vocals already and we released the song on the Epsilon Cell album as the lead track while this was all happening. The video for the song came out on TikTok the same day she was in surgery. We did not explain to people, we just told snippets in comments. But the song has gone viral and stayed consistently growing. The continued support and love has truly been an antidote. She is now recovering as I write this, and we thank everyone for their continued prayers.

Anastasia Thoughts

My love wrote this song for me because of health issues and it was very hard to do. The subject matter is one of hope and inspiration and it was very lovely. But most of all, the response to the video and timing of everything really could not have been more treasured. Knowing that people everywhere loved it helped give me strength to recover. Thank you all so much. You are my antidote.
