Antarctica

The song 'Antarctica' by $uicideBoy$ delves into the dark and often taboo subjects of depression, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. The duo, consisting of $Crim and Ruby da Cherry, is known for their raw and unfiltered approach to music, which often reflects their personal struggles and experiences. The lyrics of 'Antarctica' are a stark portrayal of the inner turmoil and hopelessness that can accompany mental health issues.

The first verse by $Crim paints a grim picture of isolation and the desire to escape reality through substance use. The reference to 'four black walls' and 'tie the noose' suggests a feeling of being trapped and contemplating suicide. The '59' in 'Murder on call with the 59' could be a nod to their hometown area code in New Orleans, indicating that their environment is inextricably linked to their experiences of violence and despair. The imagery of 'spray paint the walls with blood and whatever' further emphasizes the theme of self-destruction and a disregard for life.

Ruby da Cherry's verse continues this narrative, describing himself as the 'lord of loneliness' and conversing with death, which personifies his closeness to mortality. The 'hole in my chest' metaphorically represents the emotional void or pain he feels. The lyrics 'I hate all of you, faithfully' and 'This world was never made for me' express a deep-seated alienation from society and a sense of not belonging. The song concludes with a haunting repetition of 'Letting a new day begin,' which could be interpreted as a bleak form of hope or resignation to the endless cycle of suffering.
