Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
Sip, sip, sip refill
You want me to go pop, pop, pop these pills
Give me the antidote
Closet full of bones on the floor since forever
All my skeletons can′t hold they shit together
Fuck the surface, all my scars are at the shore now
Tide came in early with the weather, and these days
Nothin' lasts forever, shit is scary
Faces in my phone are temporary
They say the top is sweet but can′t locate the cherry
I work the graveyard shift but none of them are buried, eh
I pick up all of the pieces
Such a big piece of shit I'm like feces
I feed on they feelings like leeches
Then watch 'em all bleed from the bleaches
I wasn′t this way from day one
These bitches must think I′m like Satan
But below the surface, I promise I'm worth it
I hope you′re still here when that day comes, yeah
All my feelings in the penitentiary
They threw away the key for eternity
Fuck a century (fuck a century, yeah)
Fuck a century (fuck a century, yeah)
They threw away the key for eternity
Fuck a motherfucking century, yeah
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
Sip, sip, sip refill
They want me to go pop, pop, pop these pills
Give me the antidote
Give me the antidote
The song "Antidote" by BMike is a powerful mix of introspective lyrics that delve into the artist's struggles with addiction and mental health. The chorus repeats the line "give me the antidote" multiple times, which serves as a metaphor for the artist's search for a cure to his personal demons. BMike describes his experiences with addiction in the lines "sip, sip, sip refill / You want me to go pop, pop, pop these pills," suggesting that others may be enabling his addiction, while he is just searching for a way out.
The rest of the song explores BMike's personal struggles and his realization that he cannot always control what happens in his life. The line "Closet full of bones on the floor since forever / All my skeletons can′t hold they shit together" describes how the artist has been holding onto his problems for a long time, but they are starting to come to the surface. He also stresses the impermanence of life, saying "Nothin' lasts forever, shit is scary," and that he often feels disconnected from other people, saying "Faces in my phone are temporary."
In the end, though, BMike voices his hope that he can overcome these challenges and become a better person, telling his listeners "I promise I'm worth it / I hope you′re still here when that day comes." The song overall conveys a message of hope and determination to overcome personal struggles, even when the road ahead seems treacherous.
