You interpret it as Yang and Blake not being happy about it because "we got blood on our hands :C and he wasn't always ebil". But, it's also easy to interpret that verse as them just finding it too sad and etc. that he degraded into such a crazy yandere edgelord to fully enjoy him being out of their lives. ...And by them I mean Blake, since Yang barely even knows Adam and gives 10 times less fucks about him beyond her trauma than Blake does. Blake, meanwhile, knew him for years, was the one who "saw him become a monster", and it's in-character for her to pass off the WF's and Adam's terrorist acts as "they just lost their way" as if they were simply misguided children. Besides, Adam wasn't "made evil from the things done to him". At least, not "crazy yandere edgelord" kind of evil. He was already willing to kill people back in Ghira's time, but back then he (I assume) felt bad about it after Ghira reprimanded him for it. Then Sienna took over and called him a hero for killing humans left and right with no regards about the consequences. Nothing "cruel and warped" was done to him in all those years, he just kept killing and kept being praised. If anything he was the one doing warped and cruel things. - There's also the fact that your interpretation is inmediately denied by the chorus itself, which is repeated a painful amount of times. Jeff clearly put a lot of thinking into this song...

''Nevermore (x2) You'll torture my heart and my head  Nevermore (x2) Will I be afraid Nor will I run away It's behind me Freedom is finally here  You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score You won the battle you won't win the war Not now and Nevermore''

Like the chorus itself says, nevermore will Adam "torture their hearts and heads". Like the chorus itself says, they are finally free. Adam is gone, Yang will no longer be great at handshakes, and Blake can stop running away.
