Time Travel
Antisoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[me 1]
So what if time travel was possible
would I go back and tell myself that I was going to time travel
or would that create a paradox?
[verse 1]
Should I go back in time to tell myself
Should I just keep time tavel on the shelf
Should I do it at all, is it bad for my health
I guess I need to decide If I'm
gonna pursue time travel and before I die
travel back to the place and the time that I said
so I don't go back and plant ideas in my head
[me 2 - from second verse]
guess who's back, back again
yes, it's me but don't tell your friends
it's your future self, not eminem
I'm the same as you but in the future, man
but I can't tell you the way to go
I can't interrupt the time space flow
let me tell you what you know, just read a book
now back me up as I drop this hook
[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
[verse 2]
I didn't get any help from the future
paradox free, I hope that suits ya
blood sweat tears - it appears I
created the fated machine of future years
first I need to know how the timeline is defined
before I go back and hit rewind
I gotta keep this thought in the front of my mind
does it flow like a river or is it a straight line
[me 2 - from verse 3]
time's a river, oh no I told you too soon
I just had a major case of deja vu
[me 1]
I think we just created a paradox
I guess I'll try it, turn back the clock
Just got back, and my future self lied
[me 2 - from verse 3]
time's a straight line, no wait, rewind
[me 1]
It's ok, I apparently covered my tracks
with a witty comment a few seconds back
[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
[me 1]
I masterfully crafted a response in my mind
I need to travel back to 2 minutes flat
(time's a straight line, no wait, rewind)
I need to hit myself in the head with a bat
I got a better idea brewing in my mind
so I travel on back to 1:49
(time's a river, oh no I told you too soon)
(I just had a major case of deja vu)
Time travel was fun but now I'm starting to hate it
because it's beginning to get way too complicated
[me 2]
two mes at a time, but just you wait
till we get a couple more duplicates on our plate
[me 1]
oh great, thanks a lot mate
[me 2]
don't worry, you'll understand - it's your fate
[me 1]
I guess, but it really hurts my brain
I didn't realize time travel caused such pain
[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
[me 1]
oh geez - my nose is bleeding
and I don't think that it needs repeating
but even if it did, I could go back
and record myself on another track
this is a pivotal moment in my morality
any semblance of order is a formality
going back in time to make myself rich
like robbing a bank without a hitch
Ok, I did it! look at me!
while I was there I recorded verse 3
I made a few large transactions on the exchange
in the millions of dollars range
Will I start to turn evil, well at least I'm hoping
that my future self will keep at least one eye open
I may have to face the possibility
that my future self will come back to kill me
[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
[me 1]
I got me a gun - just in case
my future self gets all in my face
and storms up and down all over the place
that corruption needs to be erased
[me 2]
No wait, hold on please don't shoot!
(BANG!)
[me 1]
Oh no, what'd I do?
I think it's time for me to aptly
figure out how to stop this event from happening
I know, I'll travel back in time
and make sure that my past self is fine
you may not understand my mentality
but I'm going to learn about causality
I don't know what I'm going to face
but I'll bring my gun, just in case
if time is a line, my point will be moot
[zap back]
No wait, hold on, please don't shoot!
[no chorus, interlude]
[me 3]
back from future to save the day
don't worry everything's gonna be ok
medicine in the future is the best
they can cure everything except for death
I hit my chest but I missed my head
it's good I didn't hit that instead
if I popped my noggin, I would probably be dead
as it stands I just got my clothing red
ok, that's all the spoilers that I'll allow
I nursed you back to health so I'm leaving for now
but if I come back, don't have a cow
and seriously, don't try to shoot me - wow
[me 1]
wow, I messed up, but I survived
I'm gonna be thankful for being alive
I feel invincible, just like boris
HEY FUTURE ME - COME BACK FOR THE CHORUS!
[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
The song "Time Travel" by Antisoc is a playful exploration of the idea of time travel and its potential consequences. The song is structured in three verses with a monologue and chorus. In the monologue, the singer wonders out loud whether telling their past self about time travel would create a paradox. The first verse poses the question of how to use time travel, whether to acquire wealth or not. The second verse explores whether time is a river or a straight line and the potential dangers of time travel. The final verse sees the singer traveling back in time to prevent their future self from killing them.
Throughout the song, Antisoc uses humor and wit to convey the inherent complexities and paradoxes of time travel. The chorus warns that time travel is a "hardcore disastrous recipe" that unravels mysteries and takes the singer back in time to rap with themselves.
Antisoc's "Time Travel" song is rich in thought-provoking lyrics and presents the listener with several interesting premises, including the impact of time travel on causality, the possibility of creating a paradox, and the potential consequences of time-traveling. It is an excellent example of music as a tool for thought exploration and conversation-starter.

What if it's possible to travel through time
would I go back and tell myself that I was going to time travel
Do I warn myself about time travel or will that cause a paradox
Should I go back in time to tell myself
Should I journey back to inform my past self
Should I just abuse it for the worldly wealth
Should I take advantage of time travel to accumulate riches
Should I just keep time tavel on the shelf
Should I avoid time travel altogether
Should I do it at all, is it bad for my health
Is time travel ultimately harmful to my well-being
I guess I need to decide If I'm gonna pursue time travel and before I die
I must determine if time travel is worth pursuing in life
travel back to the place and the time that I said so I don't go back and plant ideas in my head
Return to a specific time to avoid introducing new ideas to my past self

Time travel is an incredibly risky endeavor, but I plan to use it to collaborate with my past self musically
I didn't get any help from the future, paradox free, I hope that suits ya
I received no assistance from my future self to avoid paradoxes, but I hope that's fine
created the fated machine of future years
I created the destined time machine for future exploration
I gotta keep this thought in the front of my mind, does it flow like a river or is it a straight line
I must remember to consider whether time is linear or follows a river-like structure
time's a river, oh no I told you too soon, I just had a major case of deja vu
I made a mistake by revealing that time is like a river, and I'm experiencing strange feelings of having experienced this before
It's ok, I apparently covered my tracks with a witty comment a few seconds back
Fortunately, I made a clever remark to cover up my mistake earlier
I got a better idea brewing in my mind, so I travel on back to 1:49
I have a new plan forming in my head and I'm headed back to 1:49
Time travel was fun but now I'm starting to hate it because it's beginning to get way too complicated
I used to enjoy time travel, but the complexity of it is causing me to dislike it
two mes at a time, but just you wait till we get a couple more duplicates on our plate
Dealing with two versions of myself is tricky, but it'll get even more complicated as more duplicates are introduced
I may have to face the possibility that my future self will come back to kill me
There's a chance that my future self will try to murder me
I got me a gun - just in case my future self gets all in my face and storms up and down all over the place
I have a firearm on hand in case I must defend myself against an aggressive future self
No wait, hold on please don't shoot! (BANG!) Oh no, what'd I do?
Despite my plea, I accidentally shot my future self
I'm gonna be thankful for being alive, I feel invincible, just like boris, HEY FUTURE ME - COME BACK FOR THE CHORUS!
I'm grateful to still be alive and feel unstoppable like Boris. Future self, join me for the chorus!
back from future to save the day, don't worry everything's gonna be ok
I returned from the future to fix things and assure that everything will be fine
medicine in the future is the best, they can cure everything except for death
Modern medicine is highly advanced, but death still remains incurable
it's good I didn't hit that instead, if I popped my noggin, I would probably be dead
I'm lucky the bullet missed my head or else I would have died
I nursed you back to health so I'm leaving for now, but if I come back, don't have a cow
I helped you get better, but I must leave now. If I return, don't panic
wow, I messed up, but I survived
I made a mistake, but I luckily made it out alive
if time is a line, my point will be moot
If time is linear, then my argument becomes irrelevant
No wait, hold on, please don't shoot!
Please hold off on firing your weapon

How the hell is NF so relatable?! Im sitting here, just like, "Jesus Christ this is totally me"
I've made a slight alteration based on me
Even if we both break down that night,
And you'd say you hate me
And we'd go to bed angry,
I'd know everything would be alright
I'd be there waiting
I promise I'm changing
We just need time
The last two are bolded, because that's present-day me.
Venom
Even if we both break down tonight
And you say you hate me, and we go to bed angry
I know everything will be alright
I'll be here waiting, I promise I’m changing
I just need...
[Verse 1]
A little time to show you I'm worth it
I know that I can be a difficult person
I'm a stress case, drive you up the wall when I’m workin'
Actually, I'm probably worse when I'm not, you don't deserve it
Make you nervous 'cause you know I'ma break soon
Every time I do, I say somethin' that hurts you
Actin’ like I’m gone, but we both in the same room
I don't like to be wrong, which I know you relate to
And I know I make you feel like you’re at the end of your rope
That's when I look at you and tell you I'd be better alone
Just the pride talkin', isn’t it? 'Cause both of us know
I'm the definition of "wreck" if you look into my soul
Comes out the most when I feel I'm in a vulnerable place
Made a lot of mistakes I wish I knew how to erase
When I'm afraid, might get distant and I push you away
But no matter the case, I'ma do whatever it takes even if—
Venom
Yeah, way before I bought you the ring
We were fighting back and forth like you were wearin' the thing
Two passionate people not afraid to say what they think
Lead to passionate conversation when it's hard to agree
You know me well, sittin' on the edge of my seat
Lookin' at life, overanalyzin' everything
Always depressed, tryna find a better version of me
Searching for somethin' I know's prolly right in front of my feet
Stubborn as me? Maybe not, but you're close to it
Got a lot of issues, I'm tryin' to work through 'em
Going to therapy for you's somethin' that's worth doin'
When I know you been there for me through all of my worst moments
And I know it hurts knowing that I carry this weight on my chest
Making it difficult for me to open up and connect
Lot of regrets, I apologize for all of the stress
That's not what I meant to do, you know I love you to death even if—
