The name Bilmuri is a abbreviated parody of the great comedian and actor Bill Murray. Bilmuri debuted in 2016 with "Jaguar Shark", "Letters" and a self-titled album, followed up by "Frame" and "Banana" in 2017, along with "Taco" and "Solid Chub" in 2018. A year later in 2019, he would release "Pasteurized Milk", "Wet Milk" and "Rich Sips", which were all well received among his current fanbase. The project gained more attention from former Attack Attack! fans by releasing a single from "Rich Sips" entitled "Thicc Thiccly", featuring former Attack Attack! bandmate and Beartooth vocalist Caleb Shomo, parodying Attack Attacks hit single "Stick Stickly". In 2020, Bilmuri released a collaborative EP called "Bilmuri and Friends" (or "Muri and Friends" for short) with Dayseeker, No Dice, Tilian Pearson, Jonathan Young, Lauren Babic, Surf Team and Whale Bones. This was followed by the release of "400LB BACK SQUAT" in 2021 and "GOBLIN HOURS" in 2022.

Bilmuri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't breathe

I can't get enough
I need another one
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I need another one
So I'll burn this hole into my lungs

Why do I need what kills me?
Why do I need what I don't need?
Why do I need what kills me?
I can't get enough, I can't get enough

I inhale this smoke, feel the pain in my lungs
Gasping for air, I keep gasping for air
I can't stop, I can't fucking stop
I can't stop, I can't get enough

Why do I need what kills me?
Why do I need what I don't need?




Why do I need what kills me?
I can't get enough, I can't get enough

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Bilmuri's song Down delve into addiction, specifically that of smoking, and the struggle to break free from it. The repetition of "I can't get enough" emphasizes an insatiable urge for cigarettes, despite the harm they cause to the lungs. The line "So I'll burn this hole into my lungs" depicts the willingness to endure physical harm for the sake of satisfying the addiction.


The chorus questions the necessity of something that is not only harmful, but also unwanted. The lyrics ask "Why do I need what kills me? Why do I need what I don't need?" These lines suggest that the addiction may be a product of a deeper psychological need rather than a physical one. The repetition of "I can't get enough" highlights how difficult it is to break free from the cycle of addiction, regardless of rational reasons to quit.


The second verse is more harsh, with the singer experiencing physical pain as they inhale the smoke. The lines "Gasping for air, I keep gasping for air" emphasize the harm to the lungs and the difficulty of stopping once the addiction has taken hold. The lines "I can't stop, I can't fucking stop" show the frustration and desperation that comes with addiction.


Overall, these lyrics deal with the struggle of addiction, particularly smoking, and the difficulty of breaking free from it. The singer recognizes the harm that the addiction causes but feels unable to stop due to a deeper psychological need.
