CODE MISTAKE (feat. Bring Me The Horizon)

In 'CODE MISTAKE,' Corpse, featuring Bring Me The Horizon, delves into the depths of mental anguish and the struggle for self-identity. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with intense internal conflict, feeling like a 'code mistake'—a fundamental error in existence. The repeated refrain 'I will never be them' underscores a sense of alienation and the rejection of societal norms or expectations. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of burning out rather than fading away, suggesting a desire for a dramatic, definitive end rather than a slow, unnoticed decline.

The lyrics also explore themes of self-medication and the numbing of pain through substances. References to gabapentin, Adderall, and omeprazole highlight a reliance on medication to cope with daily life, while the mention of 'veins too many needles touch' and 'nostrils off of dust' allude to more destructive forms of self-medication. This creates a stark contrast between the desire for relief and the destructive behaviors that often accompany it. The line 'If pain is beauty, I'm a pretty bitch' encapsulates the paradox of finding a twisted form of beauty in suffering.

Moreover, the song touches on the theme of isolation. The protagonist feels misunderstood and abandoned, as seen in lines like 'Do not fucking talk to me' and 'They say they want to help, but they always fucking leave.' This sense of isolation is compounded by paranoia and a feeling of being constantly judged or scrutinized. The repeated plea to be left alone—'Leave me by myself, leave me dnd, leave me in the dark'—reflects a deep-seated desire for solitude as a means of self-preservation. Ultimately, 'CODE MISTAKE' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of mental health struggles, identity crises, and the often-painful journey towards self-acceptance.
