Shadow Wick: Murderholics Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse expresses the singer’s emotional struggle. They feel disconnected from their own tears, unable to express their sadness verbally. Meeting John Wick, a character known for suppressing his emotions, resonates with them. The singer feels a connection to John’s pain, recognizing their own sorrow reflected in him, almost like hearing their own inner voice through his silence and strength.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer talks about how John Wick’s deep grief, stemming from the loss of his dog and wife, mirrors their own confusion. They compare Maria to a pet, implying a relationship where they felt controlled or dependent. The verse also references the pain they’re both carrying, including personal struggles, frustrations with others, and pop culture references like the “Sonadow” art, showing how they find meaning in dark and chaotic emotions.

[Chorus]
In this part, the singer rationalizes their violent urges by claiming it’s a simple solution to their sadness. They reject talking things out because expressing emotions only makes them angrier. Instead, they choose murder as a release for their frustration, showing how deeply they associate violence with relief from their emotional pain.

[Refrain]
The refrain repeats the core idea of the song: using murder as a way to escape sadness. The repetition emphasizes how strongly the singer believes in violence as a coping mechanism. The phrase “murder ‘til they’re dead” becomes a kind of chant or mantra, reinforcing their belief that eliminating their targets will somehow end their emotional turmoil.

[Verse 2]
The singer reflects on their lack of remorse for their actions, suggesting that if their past is dark enough, their violent tendencies can be justified. They express that their pain is understandable, almost universally shared by others who have been through similar struggles. They mention the emotional stages (denial, bargaining, depression) before resorting to violence, implying that these feelings eventually lead to killing.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer admires John Wick’s stoic, silent persona and considers adopting it themselves. However, they soon realize that suppressing their emotions doesn’t work for them. Instead, they need to express their sorrow, even though it’s bitter and grows inside them like a physical burden. The “sour taste” and “growing sorrow” symbolize the painful weight of their unaddressed emotions.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the singer’s justification for violence, underscoring their emotional instability. The line about being left on read highlights their social frustrations, with the killing becoming a way to deal with these feelings. The violence is not only about personal grief but also a reaction to feeling dismissed or ignored by others, deepening their spiral into darkness.

[Refrain]
The refrain continues to emphasize the singer’s need to use murder as an outlet for their sadness. The playful, rhythmic “pew, pew, pow, pow” imagery contrasts with the serious theme, making the violence feel almost like a game or a desperate escape from their feelings. This repetition stresses how trapped they feel in this cycle.

[Bridge]
The singer seems to be fading emotionally, detached from everything around them. They refer to different places, like the Red Circle Club and the Green Hill Zone, possibly suggesting locations tied to violence or escapism. Even though they’ve eliminated external sources of pain, they still feel empty, questioning why they’re still sad despite their violent actions.

[Outro]
The outro hints at the idea that even if they had the power to control their surroundings (referencing “Chaos Control”), it wouldn’t fix their emotional struggles. It’s a realization that no matter how much they try to escape or numb their feelings, their internal pain remains unresolved.
