Antisocial

Doom's song 'Antisocial' delves deep into the feelings of isolation and alienation experienced by individuals who find themselves on the fringes of social acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels automatically excluded from social interactions, despite being surrounded by people. This sense of exclusion is not just a personal feeling but a systemic issue, as the protagonist finds their attempts to fit in futile and ultimately meaningless. The repetition of the word 'Antisocial' underscores the persistent and pervasive nature of this isolation.

The song further explores the emotional toll of this social disconnection. The protagonist describes faking conversations and feeling distanced, highlighting the superficiality of their interactions. There is a sense of hopelessness as they realize that there is no common ground with others, leading to a resignation to their fate. The line 'Forever out of place, give up without a fight' encapsulates the despair and surrender that comes with prolonged social rejection.

In the latter part of the song, Doom addresses the societal pressures that exacerbate this alienation. The lyrics speak to the idea that being different is seen as a sin, and individuals are manipulated by social norms to conform. The phrase 'Socially cornered, trapped without a choice' reflects the lack of agency felt by those who are marginalized. The song's raw and unfiltered language, including the explicit declaration of having 'no fucking voice,' emphasizes the frustration and anger of being silenced and ignored. 'Antisocial' is a powerful commentary on the struggles of those who feel perpetually out of place in a conformist society.
