Worms

Ashnikko's song 'Worms' presents a chaotic and vivid portrayal of self-destruction and apathy in the face of a world that seems to be falling apart. The lyrics depict a character who is experiencing a mental breakdown, symbolized by 'worms in my brain,' suggesting a feeling of being consumed from within by one's own thoughts or mental health struggles. The act of bleaching eyebrows and changing names can be seen as a metaphor for wanting to transform or escape one's identity in response to the overwhelming state of the world.

The song's chorus, which repeats the desire to play life 'like a video game' and drive 'through flames,' conveys a sense of detachment and recklessness. The imagery of riding through the desert with a sword on one's back further emphasizes a combative attitude towards life's challenges, as well as a desire to confront them head-on, albeit with a sense of nihilism. The references to self-sabotage and the body mutating into something unrecognizable suggest a loss of control and a surrender to chaos.

Ashnikko's style often includes dark humor and exaggerated imagery to express complex emotions and states of mind. In 'Worms,' the blend of apocalyptic visuals with a carefree attitude serves to highlight the contrast between the desire to fight and the temptation to give in to despair. The song captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world's problems while also finding a twisted sense of joy in the midst of destruction.
