Tom's songs are known for being critical of political correctness and "woke" culture. In February 2021, his release "Fake Woke" was temporarily removed from several major streaming and download platforms, in what many fans interpreted as censorship. However, it was restored after a few days.
Murderer
Tom MacDonald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to see if you reach for somethin
Keep your feet in the same place
I'll shoot you down if you get to runnin
Look me in the eyes when you make them threats
I need to know if your really bout it
Put your hands around my neck
Make me feel like i am drowning
It's giving me chills
Your love is a murderer
And i wanna be killed
Your love is a murderer
That's how it feels
Your love is a murderer
So i know that it's real
Your love is like whiskey at 9am and it makes me question the man i am
Im blinded when the sun comes threw the window
Your love is like whiskey with cereal
Its 9 o'clock in the mornin
Im over and your killin me
When you leave then i will stay
I need to see if your really goin
When your here i am awake
And when i sleep i got one eye open
Hold my hand when your divin in
I love the water but i cant swim
Hold me close when they start to shoot
Already know that id die for you
Your love is a murderer
Its givin me chills
Your love is a murderer
And i wanna be killed
Your love is a murderer
Thats how it feels
Your love is a murderer
So i know that its real
Your love is like whiskey at 9am and it makes me question the man i am
Im blinded when the sun comes threw the window
Your love is like whiskey with cereal
Its 9 o'clock in the mornin
Im over and your killin me
Lick your lips and take a drag
Thats what your love is like to me
Breathe it in and pass it back
I need to know if you taste the same
Stick your fingers in my eyes
And tell me if you feel my soul
Grab me when i start to fall
And then let me go
Your love is a murderer
Its givin me chills
Your love is a murderer
And i wanna be killed
Your love is a murderer
Thats how it feels
Your love is a murderer
So i know that its real
Your love is like whiskey at 9am and it makes me question the man i am
Im blinded when the sun comes threw the window
Your love is like whiskey with cereal
Its 9 o'clock in the mornin
Im over and your killin me

He has said in interviews that he used to make the same music everyone else did but after his mental breakdown and recovery he changed
