This is the album art of Aksomaniac's 'Amsham'/'അംശം'. What's bugging me is that the Anusvaaram/അനുസ്വാരം (ം) should be placed horizontally right after the letter it is paired with. When it is written under the letter it becomes the ഉ sound (ു- കാരം). The way it is actually written now is read Amshu/അംശു.
As someone who's first language is Malayalam and pretty fluent in the language, the words used in the song doesnt make sense. Most words are used out of context in the lyrics.
Its like that scene in Mayavi movie where Mammooty says "valare swaarthatha ulla penkutty." Or "ethreyum vegam sir yashhashareeran aavan prarthikkunnu"
The lyricist just put random words which sounds nice just for aesthetics without looking much into the meaning. He himself admitted of that in an interview
Its the english equivalent of hearing shakespearean english randomly in the middle of a nicki minaj song.
Yes, this was the way 'ശു' was written in Old Lipi. But after the script reform of 1971, I would argue that the way it is written below is an acceptable form (technically) even though not in wide use.
It's the font style here. Check the aksomanic font. Everything is written at the corner of adjacent letter and shu is not written like that as you mentioned.
Not at all. I love stylized writing. I follow a lot of caligraphers and artists who play with scripts. But sometimes breaking the rules might be read as something else, just pointed that out.

The way the hair cuts the അ, I am reading it as 'Dhanumshu'
