## Theme

The lyrics of the song talk about the weedkiller, which is a biomatter-eating robot that threatens the utopia of the forest populated by nym and mother trees. The weedkiller turns biomatter into fuel to power itself, and how it does that is by sucking the entire life force out of a living thing. So it ends up destroying the entire forest. Ashnikko's main character is on a quest to avenge their family and the forest.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Twiddlin' my thumbs, yeah, I've been patient

Lobotomize a bitch 'til their eyes vacant

There's nowhere to run in the simulation

I'm havin' fun, it's a celebration

Ah, ah, detonation

Peace, love, meditation

Take drugs, eyes dilatin'

I go Liam Neeson in the movie Taken, ah

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been iced in hibernation

My roots in the pavement

No stimulation, I'm gonna photosynthesize

[Chorus]

We always knew it would come to this

That I would be the one to eliminate you

Weedkiller, runnin' with scissors

I madе knives out of broken ribs

I will be thе one to eliminate you

Weedkiller, weedkiller

[Verse 2]

Wait, oh

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

Junkyard, put you in a car crusher

Trump card bitch, I'm a ball buster

Predator goin' for the jugular

Rip it out, tie it in a knot, yeah, yeah

Pray to God, say goodbye

Make amends 'cause it's time

Metal death with my scythe

Titanium spine

I ignite

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been iced in hibernation

My roots in the pavement

No stimulation, I'm gonna photosynthesize

[Chorus]

We always knew it would come to this

That I would be the one to eliminate you

Weedkiller, running with scissors

I made knives out of broken ribs

I will be the one to eliminate you

Weedkiller, weedkiller

[Outro]

Photosynthesize, you're no friend of mine

Cryo-freeze and crystalize, woah

Cut the power lines, flora fantasize

Little weedkiller, now the lawn is mowed

I've been training for murder

I've been training for murder

(Weedkiller, weedkiller)

## Music video

The music video for "Weedkiller" by Ashnikko was released May 9th, 2023 is a post-apocalyptic visual representation of the song's themes and narrative. The video features Ashnikko in a post-apocalyptic world fighting against the weedkiller, which is a biomatter-eating robot that threatens the utopia of the forest populated by nym and mother trees. The video has a dark and eerie atmosphere that complements the song's haunting sound. The story behind the music video is an allegory for the destruction of climate change and the rapid evolution of technology. Ashnikko builds that out with "Weedkiller," which is a concept album set in the wreckage of a destroyed civilization. Ashnikko is a surviving faerie, and the weedkiller itself is an enemy with many faces, a killer machine that represents an ecological collapse and an ecological enemy. It represents Ashnikko's rapist and the heartbreak that she felt as a child.
