Last night, Simple Plan and Papa Roach hosted a TikTok Live, where in the pre-recorded session, the two bands (Simple Plan represented by Pierre on stage and Chuck fangirling in the crowd), performed a few songs from each of the bands’ catalogues. We will delve into the content of the entire stream in our next post, but in this one we want to highlight the main surprise of the stream and that is the first preview of the brand new Simple Plan song “The Antidote”, which is coming out on November 5th.
Pierre decided to treat the fans listening in by singing one verse and the entire chorus of “The Antidote” live. And if you missed it, thanks to our reader Lora who managed to capture it on video, you can now listen to it too. Not to mention you can also already sing along. Under the video you can find the lyrics of the already revealed preview of the song:
I wanna disappear, wanna leave without a trace
I’m looking in the mirror but I can’t see through the pain
So I take another pill and I hope it goes away
Don’t fit in
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
And even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison feel in my veins
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
In the stream, Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach asked Pierre what inspired the song. This is what Pierre said about the song’s meaning:
