Antisocial (feat. Juice WRLD)

Migos' song 'Antisocial,' featuring Juice WRLD, delves into the emotional struggles and coping mechanisms of individuals dealing with pain, loss, and the pressures of fame. The repeated refrain, 'I ain’t had love in a minute, I been on drugs for a minute,' sets the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of emotional numbness and reliance on substances to escape reality. This theme is further emphasized by the line, 'Lately I been drowning in my feelings,' which suggests a deep sense of despair and an inability to cope with overwhelming emotions.

Takeoff's verse provides a glimpse into the personal battles faced by the artists. He mentions using codeine to manage his feelings, indicating a dependency on drugs to numb the pain. The reference to 'rebuking the demons with the holy spirit' suggests a struggle between seeking spiritual solace and succumbing to destructive habits. The verse also touches on the harsh realities of life before fame, where survival and making money were the primary goals. This juxtaposition of past struggles and present fame highlights the ongoing internal conflict and the difficulty of finding genuine happiness.

Juice WRLD's contribution to the song adds another layer of depth, as he reflects on the loss of friends to drugs and violence. The mention of losing 'Kobe' and 'Juice' (referring to Juice WRLD himself) underscores the tragic impact of these losses on the artist's psyche. The plea for an explanation and the acknowledgment that 'we need savin’' reveal a sense of hopelessness and a desire for redemption. The song's title, 'Antisocial,' encapsulates the overall theme of isolation and the struggle to connect with others while battling inner demons. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil faced by the artists, making it a poignant commentary on the darker side of fame and the human condition.
