The Antidote [Contest]
High-energy Britpop-pop rock with Merseybeat bounce and a tight 2-step groove. Driving midtempo stomp, punchy bass, sharp guitar hooks, and big handclaps. Verses are lean and rhythmic; pre-chorus drops to drums + tambourine with tension-building harmonies; chorus detonates with massive “ooh” stacks, bold riff, and stadium gang vocals. Soulful lead, hook-forward, with clean doubles and hype ad-libs. FX: quick reverse hits, delay throws for transitions. Bright, loud, and polished with controlled grit. Tags: pop rock, britpop, dance rock, alt-pop.

Lyrics
Basement window
Crawling under my skin
I ignored all the warnings
And turned the brain I was born in
To someone I don't know
Oh
I'm on the brink of the brink
Running dry when I bleed
And I know when I go they won't remember me
But I'd kill to live for thrills
Screaming out a melody I can't hear
I poison everything 'till it wilts
I need the antidote
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the antidote
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the antidote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you I'm not like you
(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)
I'm not like you
I know when I go they won't remember me
I need the anti dote
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the anti dote
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Ooh ooh
I need the anti dote
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever
