Halloweenie IV: Innards

"**Halloweenie IV: Innards**" is the fourth stand-alone part of American singer and rapper Ashnikko's Halloweenie series. The song was released on October 22nd, 2021.

## Background and Theme

On October 15th, 2021 Ashnikko posted multiple Halloween-themed tweets alongside some lyrics of the song. The lyrics themselves discuss an entity disguising itself as a normal human by wearing its victim's skin and hiding its long tongue. In the lyrics, the entity describes itself as being the sister of darkness and states that it is too shy to reveal its true appearance to people. The entity may be a metaphor for hiding one's true self. In the video for the song, Ashnikko represents the entity, who covers its body with human skin. However, in the video, the entity is revealed to have a human-like face covered in pink, bloody spots. The entity uses a dismembered face as a mask to hide this.

## Lyrics

[Chorus]

I like to wear my human skin outside in disguise

I contort my body into something that you like

Have to sew my innards up, stitch 'em tight, I'm so shy

Hide my ten-foot tongue behind my Hollywood smile

I'm an entity, an apparition, looking for a host

I'm darkness’ scary sister, dissipate like smoke

I'm freaky, I'm a fetishist, I really like the toes

I unhinge my jaw to swallow you, I don't want to choke

[Verse 1]

Okay cool, it's a party with my ghouls

We go "Boo," I'm mixing mushies in my juice

Okay rude, you're drippin' blood on my shoes

I love it when it ooze, I go "Ew ew ew”

[Pre-Chorus]

Crimson swimmin' down the drains

Zipper down thе side of my face

Spider еggs in my brain

Aye, aye, aye

Three times, say me name

Can't escape my cold embrace

Drag you to the bottom of the lake

Be my friend

[Chorus]

I like to wear my human skin outside in disguise

I contort my body into something that you like

Have to sew my innards up, stitch 'em tight, I'm so shy

Hide my ten-foot tongue behind my Hollywood smile

I'm an entity, an apparition, looking for a host

I'm darkness’ scary sister, dissipate like smoke

I'm freaky, I'm a fetishist, I really like the toes

I unhinge my jaw to swallow you, I don't want to choke

[Verse 2]

Okay demons, I started gleaming, your mama wants to party

Something sweet to sink my teeth in, my incisors love a softie

I love homosapiens, I start my hellos with a hex

I can't seem to make a friend, like flies on sticky paper, dead

[Pre-Chorus]

Crimson swimmin' down the drains

Zipper down the side of my face

Spider eggs in my brain

Aye, aye, aye

Three times, say me name

Can't escape my cold embrace

Drag you to the bottom of the lake

Be my friend

[Chorus]

I like to wear my human skin outside in disguise

I contort my body into something that you like

Have to sew my innards up, stitch 'em tight, I'm so shy

Hide my ten-foot tongue behind my Hollywood smile

I'm an entity, an apparition, looking for a host

I'm darkness’ scary sister, dissipate like smoke

I'm freaky, I'm a fetishist, I really like the toes

I unhinge my jaw to swallow you, I don't want to choke

[Outro]

I'm on fire (Ooh, ooh)

I like death (Ooh, ooh)

I'm a liar (Ooh, ooh)

I'm a mess (Ooh, ooh)

Ha ha
