Synopsis

Corrosion Of Conformity perform "Clean My Wounds" in a stark, shadowy setting while the video follows a tattooed, bald man running through a cemetery. The imagery shifts between the band's heavy performance and the lone figure's frantic movements among graves, giving the song's references to violence, spiritual crisis and emotional damage a grim visual counterpart. Rather than building a conventional narrative, the video relies on repetition, stark locations and intense performance footage to create an ominous, restless atmosphere.

Lyrics

I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
The dogs of war never compromise,
No real time for rearranging.

"Help me Jesus, Help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time...
Knock it down,
Knock it down,
That's how the story goes
In the Land of 1000 No's.
