Antidote (feat. Sam Fischer)

Guy Sebastian's 'Antidote' featuring Sam Fischer is a heartfelt ode to the healing power of a significant other's love and support. The lyrics convey a deep sense of gratitude for a partner who provides comfort and stability during life's tumultuous moments. The song's protagonist acknowledges the transformative effect this person has on their life, likening them to a medicine that cures all ailments – an antidote to the chaos and pain they experience.

The song's narrative explores the theme of reliance on a loved one to navigate through personal struggles. The lyrics 'You take the weight off my shoulder, You make it safe to get older' suggest that the presence of this person alleviates burdens and fears, particularly the fear of aging and the future. The repeated references to being saved from falling, stumbling, and being in a broken state highlight the partner's role as a savior and a source of rejuvenation. The metaphor of dance, from 'stumblin' to dancin',' implies a transformation from a state of instability to one of joy and freedom, thanks to the partner's influence.

The song also touches on the idea of destiny and the serendipity of finding the right person. The line 'It's funny how I almost walked away from the very thing that saved me' suggests that the protagonist almost missed the opportunity to be with this life-changing individual. The repeated verses towards the end of the song emphasize the partner's understanding and the comfort they provide in every emotional state, from hopelessness to strength, further solidifying their role as the antidote to all of life's challenges.
