Wonderlick: Rhinoceros

Darkly allegorical and eerily timely, Wonderlick’s “Rhinoceros” draws inspiration from absurdist theatre and channels it into a slow-burning indie rock about conformity, fear, and transformation. With lyrics that evoke Eugène Ionesco’s play of the same name, the track follows a descent into collective madness, watching loved ones abandon reason, dignity, and empathy as they morph into something monstrous. The repeated question—“Are you one of us?”—hangs in the air like a warning, as the narrator teeters on the edge of assimilation.
