“Guilty Clicks” is a visceral exploration of the modern “digital courtroom,” where the nuances of truth are sacrificed for the viral efficiency of outrage. The song follows the perspective of an individual whose life has been dismantled by the judge, jury, and executioner of social media.
The narrative highlights the chilling anonymity of “web-judges” who weaponize misinformation and emojis to destroy reputations from behind a screen. It contrasts the heavy, life-altering consequences of character assassination—likened to a “meat grinding system”—with the effortless, thoughtless action of a user clicking a button. Ultimately, the song is a haunting plea for empathy in an era where public trials are instant, appeals are non-existent, and the “death penalty” of social shame is only a notification away.

Guilty Clicks lyrics
Stop believing everything you are told
All that glitters is not gold
And two wrongs don’t make a right
Things are never as clear as black and white
How can you judge me by what you’ve read
By all those lies that people have said
As you blacken and you slander my name
You’ve ruined my life, things will never be the same
All those web-judges deciding people’s fate
Drumming up likes for their misguided hate
All hiding in the shadows, behind their screens
Making sure they’re never discovered and never seen
As I am here before you a defeated man
Don’t judge me for what you think I am
I am here before you a defeated man
Don’t judge me for what you think I am
Is it true or false, who can tell
No-one thinks twice coz news always sells
True or not, no-one really cares
People laugh and say ‘Oh well, you know that life isn’t fair’
Sentenced by likes by the judges call
Feel like I’m banging my head against the wall
As they all post emoji’s of a laughing face
As I try to reason and state my case
They put you on public trial
And poison their jury followers with bile
The trial is over pretty quick
As they find you guilty with just a click
And I am here before you a broken man
Don’t sentence me for what you think I am
I am here before you a broken man
Don’t sentence me for what you think I am
As they hunger for more innocent victims
To become part of their meat grinding system
It can mean the death penalty for some
Who couldn’t live with the shame, their life is done
And I’m just sitting here doing my time
Although I didn’t commit any crime
Sitting in my room afraid to go out
Only going out when there’s no-one about
Trial by social media is painfully quick
As you’re found guilty with just a click
As the next unknown victim awaits their turn
Will it be you, when you log-on you’ll surely learn
As I’m sitting here doing my time
Although I didn’t commit any crime
There’s no escape, there’s no appeal
No-one to save you from this unjust ordeal
There’s no-one to save you from this unjust ordeal
This unjust ordeal
