ANTIDOTE
Angello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this motherfo' up, start a riot
Don't stop, turn that up, take it higher
Take this motherfo' up, start a riot
There's a glitch inside my system
Rushing through my whole existence
Got me twisted, can't resist this
Something's flipping all my switches
Mix it up and mass appeal it
Pressure is riding me hard
Killer dose right through my heart
And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote
And there's no antidote
There's no antidote
There's no antidote
The lyrics of "Antidote" by Swedish DJ and record producer Steve Angello featuring Swedish Moroccan rapper/singer/songwriter Mohamed Ramadan are a call to rebellion and a celebration of the power of music to elevate and empower people. The opening lines of the chorus - "Don't stop, turn that up, take it higher / Take this motherfo' up, start a riot" - are a challenge to the listener to turn up the volume, raise the energy level and unleash their inner wildness. The glitch in the system mentioned in the verses can be interpreted as a metaphor for the feeling of being stuck, trapped or limited in one's life, but also as an opportunity to disrupt and transform the status quo. The lines "Take'em, break'em, make'em feel it / Mix it up and mass appeal it" suggest a DIY and inclusive approach to music-making, where anyone can participate and contribute to the creation of something meaningful and impactful. The repeated refrain "And there's no antidote / There's no antidote" can be read as a warning about the addictive and transformative nature of music, or as a mantra of personal liberation and defiance in the face of conformity and oppression. Overall, "Antidote" is a high-octane, danceable and anthemic track that encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the power of music as a catalyst for change.
