The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Antidote" by the artist "Travis Scott"

Contents

In "Antidote," Travis Scott paints a picture of a reckless, hedonistic lifestyle filled with parties, drugs, and fleeting relationships. The "antidote," in this context, is a metaphor for escapism, using substances and entertainment to avoid reality.

The chorus sets the tone for the track, urging listeners not to open the window and let the "antidote" escape, hinting at the desire to maintain a state of euphoria and detachment from the real world. The mention of "Hollywood hills" points to a glamorous but superficial party scene fueled by money, fame, and vices.

Throughout the verses, Travis describes his life of debauchery and recklessness. He spends lavishly on parties, engages in casual sex, and indulges in drug use. Phrases like "do it again on Monday," "hit a three-pointer — fked three bches" emphasize the careless and thoughtless nature of his actions.

The image of the "Rodeo" (used interchangeably with "night show" in some translations) is central to the song. It symbolizes a space of freedom and anonymity, where one can lose themselves in the crowd and do whatever they please. Travis celebrates the atmosphere of unbridled fun and revelry that permeates such events.

However, beneath the surface of carefree hedonism, hints of anxiety and paranoia seep through. Mentions of the feds at the door, fear of exposure, and the potential for the illusion of carefree fun to crumble are ever-present.

Overall, "Antidote" is an anthem to hedonism and escapism, but it also serves as a cautionary tale, reminding listeners that the pursuit of pleasure and recklessness comes with a price.

[Chorus:]

Don't you open up that window,

Don't you let out that antidote,

Poppin pills is all we know,

In the hills is all we know. Hollywood!

Don't go through the front door. Through the back!

It's low key at the night show,

So don't you open up that window,

Don't you let out that antidote.

[Verse 1:]

Party on a Sunday. That was fun!

Do it all again on Monday. One more time!

Spent a check on a weekend. Oh my God!

I might do it all again. That's boss shit!

I just hit a three peat,

Fucked three hoes I met this week. Robert Horry!

I don't do no old hoes. Oh, no-no!

My nga, that's a no-no. Straight up!

She just want the coco. Cocaina!

I just want dinero. Paper hunting!

Who that at the front door?

If it's the feds, oh, no, no, no! Don't let 'em in, shhh!

[Chorus:]

Don't you open up that window,

Don't you let out that antidote,

Poppin pills is all we know,

In the hills is all we know. Hollywood!

Don't go through the front door. Through the back!

It's low key at the night show,

At the night show,

At the night show. Higher!

At the night show,

At the night show. Get lit, my nga!

At the night show.

[Verse 2:]

Anything can happen at the night show,

Everything can happen at the night show,

At the night show,

Anything can happen at the night show,

At the night show,

Your bitch not at home, she at the night show. Straight up!

Fuckin right, ho!

Had to catch a flight for the night show,

Let's get piped, though,

Bottles got us right, though, we ain't sippin light, though. Rrr!

I ain't got no type, though,

Only got one night, though, we can do it twice, though. Rrr!

It's lit at the night show.

[Bridge:]

At the night show,

At the night show,

At the night show,

At the night show,

At the night show,

At the night show,

Anything can happen at the night show.

[Verse 3:]

Stackin' up day to day,

Young nga, you know, you gotta go get it, go get it, my nga.

They hatin, they stinkin, they waitin

Don't be mistaken, we dyin, they stayin,

Lord, I'm on fire, they think that I'm Satan,

Callin me crazy on different occasions,

Kickin the cameraman off of my stages,

‘Cause I don't like how he snappin my angles,

I'm overboard and I'm overimpatient

Over my ngas and these kids my ages,

Dealin with Mo shit that's more complicated,

Like these two bitches that might be related.

H-Town, you got one and you Bun B like a number one,

It's late night, got a late show,

If you wanna roll, I got a place where...

[Chorus:]

Poppin pills is all we know,

In the hills is all we know. Hollywood!

Don't go through the front door. Through the back!

It's low key at the night show,

So don't you open up that window,

Don't you let out that antidote.
