In the song "Redrum" by Lil Xan, the artist speaks about the superficiality of money and the way it can distort one's perspective on life. He criticizes those who pay for sex, stating that they are setting themselves up to be played by those they pay. He then touches on the idea that material possessions such as "stripes" will fade, and that the only thing that truly endures is faith. He references the transitory nature of life and how it can end suddenly, with people ending up in graves. He mentions that he has made money from visiting a church, suggesting that even spirituality can be monetized. Lil Xan expresses a sense of nihilism, noting that nothing lasts and nobody stays. He suggests that his hedonistic lifestyle is becoming repetitive, as he feels that every day is becoming the same.
The repeated phrase "redrum" is a reference to the film "The Shining" in which the word is written in blood, spelling out the word 'murder' backwards. In the context of the song, the phrase "fuck somebody up" accompanies "Redrum," which could imply that the artist feels a sense of aggression or violence due to his disillusionment with the shallow aspects of life that he encounters.
