“Erode” is a desperate cry for help yet, an exhale of relief at the same time. The willingness to change for somebody while subconsciously realizing it’s tearing you apart, making you someone you wished to never be. And yet it’s about love, wanting to do whatever your partner wishes to pleasure them...
[Verse 1]
Tell me how it is
We're one step closer
We're moving slower
On the right tracks
[Verse 2]
Tell me how it is
We're moving forward
We've been so tortured
By all of this
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, like an island surrounded by a deep blue sea
You're the waves that push and pull against me
You wash me away, bit by bit
I will slowly erode till there's nothing left
[Chorus]
If you want me like that, that's who I'll be
And if you love me right back, I could be anything
It's like this and like that
I think I'm starting to crack
Then you'll leave and come back
The odds are starting to stack

Against me
[Verse 3]
I can think of nobody but you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, like an island surrounded by a deep blue sea
You're the waves that push and pull against me
You wash me away, bit by bit
I will slowly erode till there's nothing left
[Chorus]
If you want me like that, that's who I'll be
And if you love me right back, I could be anything
It's like this and like that
I think I'm starting to crack
Then you'll leave and come back
The odds are starting to stack
Against me
Against me
[Chorus]
If you want me like that, that's who I'll be
And if you love me right back, I could be anything
It's like this and like that
I think I'm starting to crack
Then you'll leave and come back
The odds are starting to stack
Against me
Against me
