Corrosive Elements Lyrics

Staying on an even keel.
Keeping a gauge.
Sanity hangs in the balance.
(I) could go
either way.

Cerebral half life.
The darkest Summer days.
My pressure defences
melting away.

'Cause I can't level this brimming,
seething dread.
My pressure defences
melting away.

With anxiety I'm burning !

Stripping down to the core.

Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements inducing.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements that sap being.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements inducing.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements that sap being.

Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements - joy toxin.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements - please cleanse me !
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements - joy toxin.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements - please cleanse me !

Please cleanse me...
Please cleanse me ! !

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.

This song is all about the bad things that trouble Barney,and constantly threaten to push him over the edge into rage,And he is asking to be freed of this "dragnet" that is pulling him down.Sorry,i couldnt resist the pun.
