Antivirus
Modern alternative rock with post-hardcore and J-rock influences. Distorted electric guitars play syncopated power chord riffs and palm-muted eighth-note patterns. A clean electric guitar provides melodic lead lines with delay and reverb. The bass guitar follows the kick drum with a gritty, overdriven tone. Drums feature a prominent snare with a bright crack and rapid double-kick patterns during high-intensity sections. Female vocals utilize a wide dynamic range, shifting from breathy melodic verses to powerful, belted choruses with occasional vocal fry. The arrangement includes a technical guitar solo with rapid alternate picking and tapping. Key of G# minor. Tempo is 185 BPM.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Stop the clock, I’m over-thinking the space between us
You’re the only light in a room that’s getting meaner.
(Yeah!)
I’m pulling away just to see if you’ll chase the shadow
Running from the shore but I’m drowning in the shallow!
You say "stay," but I’m scripted to leave
I’m a heavy weight hanging on your sleeve.
One minute I’m a riot, then I’m quiet as a grave
Tell me, baby, is there anything left to save?
(Screamed)
LEFT TO SAVE!
Pre-Chorus
And I’m building a wall just to watch you climb
I’m wasting your breath while I’m killing my time.
But every time I break, you’re the one who holds the glue...
(Music drops out for a sharp inhale)
And I’m terrified of what I’m doing to you.
Chorus
But baby,
Oh maybe,
You’re the antivirus for the crazy.
I’m dissolving in you on the daily,Baby
I’m just a ghost in a hoodie, I’m already
Falling,
And I’m hoping that you’re falling for me.
Verse 2
You’re the only truth in a world of fiction!
(What?)
Yeah, I’m a jagged pill that you’re trying to swallow
I’m a "see you tomorrow" that feels so hollow.
I’m addicted to the way that you won't let go
Even when I’m hitting every single low!
(Yeah, I’m hitting the low!)
It’s a tug-of-war and I’m losing the rope
You’re the only thing that feels like hope.
Pre-Chorus]
And I’m building a wall just to watch you climb
I’m wasting your breath while I’m killing my time.
But every time I break, you’re the one who holds the glue...
(Music drops out for a sharp inhale)
And I’m terrified of what I’m doing to you.
Chorus
But baby,
Oh maybe,
You’re the antivirus for the crazy.
I’m dissolving in you on the daily,
Maybe
I’m just a ghost in a hoodie, I’m already
Falling,
And I’m hoping that you’re falling for me.
Bridge
(Screamed/Aggressive Melodic)
DON’T LET ME DRIFT!
DON’T LET ME SLIDE!
I’VE GOT NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE!
I’M THE ERROR IN THE CODE!
I’M THE BURDEN ON THE ROAD!
ARE YOU FALLING?
OR ARE YOU JUMPING?
Chaotic guitar solo with high-pitched tapping and dive-bombs
Final Hook
But baby,
Oh maybe,
You’re the antivirus for the crazy!
I’m dissolving in you on the daily,
Baby-
I’m just a ghost in a hoodie, I’m already
Falling,
AND I’M HOPING THAT YOU’RE FALLING FOR ME!
Outro
I’m already falling...
(I’m dissolving...)
Are you falling with me?
(Don't let me go...)
