Corporeal Lyrics

Under the white chalk
Drawn on the black board
Drawn on the black board
Under the xray
I'm jut a vertebrate

Do that to me
Do that to my anatomy
Do that to me
Do that to my anatomy
Corporeal Corporeal

We are mankind
We are manikin
With and without mind
With or without Darwin

Classify me
The strings of my autonomy
Classify me
The strings of my autonomy
Corporeal corporeal

A thorny red heart
Around a thin arm
Inside a white bone
The love is inborn

Close up to me
Up close to my anatomy
Close up to me
Up close to my autonomy
Corporeal corporeal
Corporeal

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

what a beautiful song. this song is about being human/animal and understanding that. not about commitment, love or religious ideas... it's about being independent, satisfying your human needs and nothing more.

i think this has two meanings. one is as a protest song/ song or awareness. i think she is telling us how we stand from the pov of some kind of power/s. i think she is saying that she is a soulless vessel and they can dictate her own limitations. or maybe she doesn't fit in and wants to fit in with society. the second is that she is begging someone to love her and this is the way u can view her is it helps u do it. idk

This song is a brilliant mix of eroticism and intrigue. She is inviting someone to be "up close to me" with clinical, anatomical observations. This song is more fundamentally sexy than so many songs that strive for that and fail.
