Lyrics
(Intro: Atmospheric Tanpura drone with a sharp, fast mridangam rhythm. Heavy onomatopoeia: tha-ka-di-mi, tha-ka-ju-nu)
Stockholm syndrome from my / Basement window
Crawling under my skin (skrrr-tah, shhh-krrr)
I ignored all the warnings
And turned the brain I was born in
To someone I don't know / Oh (Aaah-ree-ga-ma-pa-da-ni-sa)
I'm on the brink of the brink (the brink, the brink)
Running dry when I bleed (bleed-heee-heee)
And I know when I go they won't remember me
(Doom-thumm, doom-thumm, hey ya!)
(Chorus: Bansuri flute trills and high-tension Veena plucks)
But I'd kill to live for thrills
Screaming out a melody I can't hear (hear-err-rah)
I poison everything 'till it wilts (wilts, wilts, doom-thumm)
I need the antidote (The an-ti-dote, dote, dote)
Notice the darkness growing on you
I need the antidote (Ay-ay-ay, oh mi amor)
Give me catharsis a new point of view
I need the antidote
(Ooh ooh, sargam runs: sa-re-ga-ma)
I need the antidote (skrrr, shhh-krrr)
Ooh ooh / I need the antidote
(Outro: Fast-tempo Carnatic 'Swaras' (notes) overlapping with the falling forever lines)
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I can't keep or hold it together (gether-er-er)
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out
I'll just be falling forever (ever, ever, sa-ni-da-pa-ma)
Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out (thumm-thumm)
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 (falling, falling, ga-ma-pa-ni-sa!)
