Antarctica $uicideboy$ meaning
The whole song is a impressive methaphor of extreme anxiety and depression, but why the name Antarctica? Well i had this question for two years in my head and ended just thinking that was a random name but it isnt it has a very interesting story. Well lets start with easy things such as we all know Antarctica is one of the 7th continents in Earth. In this continent we have only a few biomes and in all of them we have ice, extremely low temperatures and loneliness. Here we have the first reason of this name for a masterpiece but is not the only one. When ruby saiys in the last verse ~Ill shank my knees then walk the plank and freeze~ we have there the most important reference to the iced continent but also to a extremely distressing situation that is the fact of trying to kill yourself but ending not doing it because you cant even score that. Is not easy to understand, is very complex indeed. Just imagine that when ur about to do it something in your body fails and “saves you” from death. Shank the knees means when you hurt yourself with the goal of ending your life, walk the plank means approach to death as it was a void were you fall and finally freeze is the act of you immobilized as you watch this void sorrouded by stress and pain and cant do anything about it, you just cant end the action of suicide. Ruby is the lord of loneliness because he reigns in his own continent (his mind) that as cold and empty as is Antarctica.
