About This Track

Ashnikko builds 'Maggots' as a scathing dismissal of online detractors and parasitic hangers-on. The track pairs visceral insult with a refusal to be diminished by the noise around her; she positions herself as untouchable whilst those who resent her are trapped in their own misery. The production sits somewhere between industrial and pop, giving the lyrics room to land with precision rather than spectacle. The song operates through extended metaphor: critics and false friends are described as insects and parasites feeding on her attention and energy. Ashnikko counters with a posture of defiant self-acceptance, acknowledging her own perceived flaws whilst making clear she will not be shamed into silence or compliance. The chorus lands the central claim with bluntness: her detractors hate her because they hate themselves.

"Maggots" is a track by Ashnikko, from the album Panic Attacks in Paradise / Maggots, released 29th September 2021. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 18 articles about Ashnikko.

Lyrics

Maggots

[Chorus]

You hate me 'cause you hate yourself

You're the maggots in my meat (P.U., you smell)

Bubblegum under my feet, tummy lint in my belly button

I don't let a fucker on the internet tell me nothing

[Post-Chorus]

Your sad life is never getting better

You butt crack krakens want my pirate treasure

I'm a wet pussy crybaby, real bedwetter

But I'll fuck an incel up, wear him like a sweater

Your sad life is never getting better

Cheese string dick, shrivel tits, old cheddar

I'm a wet pussy crybaby, real bedwetter

But it's still fuck you and your friends forever

[Chorus]

You hate me 'cause you hate yourself

You're the maggots in my meat (P.U., you smell)

Bubblegum under my feet, tummy lint in my belly button

I don't let a fucker on the internet tell me nothing

[Verse]

Bitches in my business like my accountant and managers

You tapeworm parasites, vultures and scavengers

Snakes with the rattlers, all the lowest of caliber

On my dick like a catheter, what are you mad at me for, huh?

Ooh, I'm sorry

You smooth-brain bitches did not want me

Carbon copy

I won't feed you, Tamagotchi (Ah, ah)

[Chorus]

You hate me 'cause you hate yourself

You're the maggots in my meat (P.U., you smell)

Bubblegum under my feet, tummy lint in my belly button

I don't let a fucker on the internet tell me nothing

[Post-Chorus]

Your sad life is never getting better

You butt crack krakens want my pirate treasure

I'm a wet pussy crybaby, real bedwetter

But I'll fuck an incel up, wear him like a sweater

Your sad life is never getting better

Cheese string dick, shrivel tits, old cheddar

I'm a wet pussy crybaby, real bedwetter

But it's still fuck you and your friends forever

Your sad life is never getting better

Cheese string dick, shrivel tits, old cheddar

I'm a wet pussy crybaby, real bedwetter

But it's still fuck you and your friends forever

[Outro]

I'm a nice lady with a nice smile

And I'm so cute, and I'm so cute

Ashnikko shows that bolder is better at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town

Two years ago, **Ashnikko** announced a trio of shows at London’s Omeara in support of their ‘Hi, It’s Me’ EP. Over those three nights, they were set to play to just under 1,000 people before the global pandemic put a stop to those plans. Tonight, one mixtape and a handful of singles later, Ashnikko finally gets to play a headline show in her adopted hometown of London.
