ANTIDOTE
Slytract Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretence, of the truth causes error situation
Shaming world of light
Beauty, deludes us with these fucking impressions
Prayer in the dark

Antidote!

Breathe! there's no lung, breathe this life called nature
Black rays of sunlight cover the sky
Biting tears are on faces brake the mirror into pieces
Without victory, there's no defeat

Our inert morality
Seek the opened door
Our inert sympathy
There's the antidote

Our inert morality
Lights above the door
Our inert sympathy
There's the antidote

Our inert morality
Seek the opened door
Our inert sympathy
There's the antidote

Our inert morality
Lights above the door
Our inert sympathy
There's the antidote
Antidote!
Pretence of truth




Antidote!
Pretence of truth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slytract's song Antidote seem to be exploring the concept of truth and delusion. The first few lines suggest that pretending to know the truth can cause problems or misunderstandings. The next line, "shaming world of light," may be referring to how the truth can sometimes be harsh or hurtful, and we may be afraid to face it. The following lines describe how beauty can be deceptive and create false impressions. It seems that the singer is calling for an antidote to these illusions and pleading for clarity and understanding.


The chorus, "Antidote! Breathe!" suggests that the solution or antidote to these confusing and delusional states is to simply breathe and connect with nature. However, the next line contradicts this by saying that "black rays of sunlight cover the sky," implying that even nature can be oppressive or hostile. The line "biting tears are on faces brake the mirror into pieces" is a powerful metaphor that could mean either a painful realization or a cathartic release from illusions. The final lines declare that there can be no victory without defeat, and that the antidote lies somewhere between our dormant morality and sympathy.


Overall, the lyrics of Antidote seem to be exploring some deep philosophical questions about truth, reality, and the nature of existence. The song invites the listener to contemplate these mysteries and find their own path toward enlightenment or understanding. The themes of the song are supported by the powerful music and driving rhythms of the band, which create a sense of urgency and intensity.
