ANTARCTICA
$uicideboy$ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Lettin' a new day begin
Lettin' a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
Locked in my room, four black walls
Tie the noose, no recall
No resolve, fuck withdrawal
Rather shoot up 'til I fall
20 years and it seem like a lifetime
I been hangin' everyday from a lifeline
While these fuckers had a dinner every night time
Smo-smokin' that dope off the foil, let me ball
Hoe please don't call, don't fuck with y'all
Spray paint the walls with blood and whatever
Drag you outside, let you rot in the weather
I don't think I can explain any better
I'm $carecrow the terror, and live for the lesser
My birth was an error
I am the Lord of loneliness
I'll hold my breath
Just spoke with death
He said he hopes for the best
Told him I'm ropin' my neck
Then I woke up chokin' from the hole in my chest
Somehow I manage to function and hope
Everyday got a lump in my throat
That's them pills swallowed whole
Smoke a blunt and then fuck all these hoes
End up humpin' they throat
Get the fuck away from me
I hate all of you, faithfully
This world was never made for me
Thankfully I'm trained to see
Past all the lies and righteous sins
I'll shank my knees then walk the plank and freeze
Lettin' a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
Overall Meaning
The song ANTARTICA by $uicideboy$ portrays the desire to let go of the past and begin anew. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song, with the repetition of "Lettin' a new day begin" signifying the artist's hope for a fresh start. However, the lyrics quickly descend into darker themes of drugs, self-harm, and suicide.
The verse "Locked in my room, four black walls" creates a suffocating atmosphere, while the lines "Murder on call with the 59" hints at a criminal past. The artist appears to be trapped in a self-destructive cycle, using drugs to numb the pain of withdrawal, instead of seeking help. The line "My birth was an error" further reinforces the artist's spiral towards depression and hopelessness.
The chorus reflects a glimmer of hope, with the line "Hold to the time that you know" encouraging the listener to cling to familiar comforts, despite the surrounding chaos. The final lines of the song, "I'll shank my knees then walk the plank and freeze" evoke a sense of ultimate desperation and resignation.
Line by Line Meaning
Lettin' a new day begin
Embracing the new day and the hope it brings
Lettin' a new day begin
Reiterating the idea of starting fresh
Hold to the time that you know
Hold on to the past and don't let go
Locked in my room, four black walls
Feeling trapped and isolated in life
Tie the noose, no recall
Contemplating suicide with no hope of turning back
No resolve, fuck withdrawal
No motivation to quit drugs and endure withdrawal symptoms
Rather shoot up 'til I fall
Preferring drug addiction to life itself
Murder on call with the 59
Contemplating violence and death as a means of escape
20 years and it seem like a lifetime
Feeling like life has been an endless struggle
I been hangin' everyday from a lifeline
Feeling like life is hanging by a thread
While these fuckers had a dinner every night time
Jealousy at others who seem to have it better
Smo-smokin' that dope off the foil, let me ball
Using drugs as a coping mechanism
Hoe please don't call, don't fuck with y'all
Avoiding interactions with the outside world
Spray paint the walls with blood and whatever
Demonstrating anger, frustration and a sense of chaos
Drag you outside, let you rot in the weather
Fantasizing about causing harm to others
I don't think I can explain any better
Feeling like no one can truly understand their struggles
I'm $carecrow the terror, and live for the lesser
Embracing a nihilistic view of the world
My birth was an error
Feeling like their existence is a mistake
I am the Lord of loneliness
Feeling like they are the embodiment of loneliness
I'll hold my breath
Considering suicide as a way out
Just spoke with death
Fantasizing or feeling like death is always present
He said he hopes for the best
Contemplating their own mortality
Told him I'm ropin' my neck
Continuing to contemplate suicide
Then I woke up chokin' from the hole in my chest
Experiencing depression and anxiety in a literal sense
Somehow I manage to function and hope
Still managing to keep going despite the struggles
Everyday got a lump in my throat
Feeling choked up with emotions
That's them pills swallowed whole
Using prescription medication to cope
Smoke a blunt and then fuck all these hoes
Using sex and drugs as a distraction
End up humpin' they throat
Engaging in hedonistic behavior
Get the fuck away from me
Pushing others away
I hate all of you, faithfully
Feeling a deep sense of hatred towards others
This world was never made for me
Feeling out of place and disconnected from the world
Thankfully I'm trained to see
Finding some small solace in their own perspective
Past all the lies and righteous sins
Seeing through societal lies and hypocrisies
I'll shank my knees then walk the plank and freeze
Showing a willingness to suffer and die
Lettin' a new day begin
Bringing the song full circle and returning to the idea of a new day
Hold to the time that you know
Inspiring the listener to hold on to their experiences, good and bad
