Carbon Monoxide Lyrics

[Chorus]
You can see all the walls I put up caving in
Slowly creep in my lungs, you’re my carcinogen
Fall asleep to your carbon monoxide again
Can’t speak, my tongue’s tied, yeah

[Verse 1]
Thought I needed the torture like a gimp
Hard to see through the horror under my skin
Like a lethal enforcer, fill me with dread
Like an eating disorder, I’m running thin
It’s too hard to fake it, I’ve been rotting out on the inside
Oh, my heart’s really breaking, I’m caught in a riptide
My hands start to shake, yeah, you got me at the brink
Pour my love down the sink, just waste it

[Bridge]
I know I’m a mess, I’m sorry
I get out of my body, baby
Oh those days, they haunt me
Go down with the ship, it was rocky

[Chorus]
You can see all the walls I put up caving in
Slowly creep in my lungs, you’re my carcinogen
Fall asleep to your carbon monoxide again
Can’t speak, my tongue’s tied, yeah

[Verse 2]
Counting up every sin again
Guilty as charged, I’m not innocent
Drowning in the memories, sink or swim
Every time you had to see me like this

[Outro]
I know I’m a mess, I’m sorry
I get out of my body, baby
Oh those days, they haunt me
Go down with the ship, it was rocky
I know I’m a mess, I’m sorry
I get out of my body, baby
Oh those days, they haunt me
Go down with the ship, it was rocky

Carbon Monoxide Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus uses the metaphor of carbon monoxide to describe the gradual and unnoticed suffocation of the self. Corbin portrays the slow emotional collapse (“walls I put up caving in”), feeling the toxicity “creep in my lungs” and becoming consumed by it. The inability to speak or act (“Can’t speak, my tongue’s tied”) conveys the paralysis that often accompanies deep emotional distress, symbolizing how internal struggles leave one mute and immobilized.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Corbin opens up about feeling trapped in a cycle of self-punishment, likening it to the suffering of a “gimp” or the exhaustion of an “eating disorder.” The line “fill me with dread” suggests that he’s intentionally inflicting pain on himself, driven by deep anxiety and fear. Corbin acknowledges the internal rot, describing how he’s been “rotting out on the inside” while struggling to fake normalcy. The verse explores his sense of inevitability, as he feels trapped in a state of decay, with his emotions at the brink of collapse, as he contemplates wasting his love and letting it slip away.

[Bridge]
The bridge reflects Corbin’s acknowledgment of his messy emotional state and the haunting nature of his past experiences. He confesses that he is “sorry” for the chaos he feels inside and describes the physical and emotional detachment from himself (“I get out of my body”). The phrase “Go down with the ship” suggests a sense of fatalism, where Corbin resigns to the idea of his own destruction, despite his awareness of the emotional turbulence he’s facing.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the theme of suffocation and emotional paralysis. Corbin’s voice becomes even more desperate, as the emotional toll of the toxic environment or relationship continues to build. He remains caught in the cycle of internal collapse, unable to find a way out or express himself clearly. The image of “carbon monoxide” serves as a chilling reminder of the slow, suffocating effect of unresolved pain.

[Verse 2]
The second verse shifts focus to Corbin’s guilt and sense of responsibility for his emotional turmoil. He acknowledges his sins (“Guilty as charged”) and paints a picture of drowning in painful memories. The line “Sink or swim” suggests that Corbin feels as though he’s fighting for survival, with each moment spent immersed in guilt and regret. The verse emphasizes the ongoing struggle to deal with his internal conflict, and the discomfort of having others witness his vulnerability.

[Outro]
The outro mirrors the sentiments expressed in the bridge, with Corbin once again apologizing for his emotional mess. He conveys a sense of haunted isolation, unable to escape the painful memories that continuously torment him. The repetition of “Go down with the ship” suggests that Corbin feels as though he’s unable to break free from the destructive patterns he’s locked into, despite his desire to change.
