KENT was getting quite tired of playing with the Diamond Dogs, Mats was bored to death with mostly everything and Urrke-T had just moved to Stockholm partying his way through all the sloppy bars and afterparties he could find. On one of these cheezy events these three amigos met and before they even knew they had a band going together.
THE DRUMMER though was a slight problem. The guy they had at the time was from Germany and could unfortunately not either make himself understood or play the drums properly. Urrke-T knew what he had to do. He called his old partner in crime - Patrik - a good drummer with a history as a session Jazz-musician.
AFTER an initial audition it was all clear! Rehearsals started and the guys played around with silly names as The Redliners and Smacker, but finally settled for the silliest one MARYSLIM!
MARYSLIM is a constantly touring band. If they are not making the Festivals into infernos and a battlefield, or hi-jacking some vehicle to take them to some stages and bars elsewhere in Scandinavia, they are probably rocking their butts off at the CBGBs in New York, the Red Room in Texas, or conquering Spain, Italy, Germany, England or some other little European country you hardly have heard of before. On their own, or together with their friends in bands like the Hanoi Rocks, 69 Eyes, Backyard Babies, Hybrid Children, Nomads, Sahara Hotnights, Wonderfools, Psychopunch, Marky Ramone, Black Halos, Wednesday13 or Mustasch!
THE LATEST ALBUM "A PEFECT MESS" was recorded in the famous Abyss Studio with producer Peter Tagtgren (Pain, Hypocrisy, Dark Funeral, Wolf). A winning concept since the "Split Vision" album. MARYSLIM are one of the very few Rock N Roll-bands that Mr Tagtgren works with and he have formerly only worked with different Metal-acts, and the Maryslim-sound has once again really been taken for a ride to a new level and dimension! "A PERFECT MESS" is released in Scandinavia February 2007 and the rest of Europe in March 2007 on Wild Kingdom Records! The album was also preceeded by a single and a video. A totally incredible version of The Sisters Of Mercy´s classic "This Corrosion", with nobody less than Mr JYRKI69 of the 69EYES himself on the lead vocals! You have by now both seen it and heard it. A f****n KILLER!
ALL THE MARYSLIM VIDEOS: "THIS CORROSION", "B.T.L." and "MY TIME" has been filmed and directed by Charlie Granberg, who is also known for his videos with The Solution, Crucified Barbara, Gemini Five, Hellfueled, MyDyingBride, Katatonia, etc
MARYSLIM has their very own sound. Subtle, hard & heavy Rock & Roll, crammed with melodic choruses. The band has been described as "a splendid mix of mid-70s Hardrock and Punk, spiced up with some The Cult-sounds, heavy AC/DC riffing and catchy Foo Fighters-vibes"!
That is probably true, but can be said more easily: Its only Rock N Roll, but we like it!
This Corrosion
Maryslim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme something that I missed
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems
Kill the king, when love is the law,
And the we'll turn round...
Gimme dream child
And do you hear me call?

Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
On daze, like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Well, what do you say
Living on if and if I tried,
Somebody got a song for me

Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, i won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold
The highered hand
On heart
hand of God
Floodland and Driven Apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold
Burn
Like a healing hand
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
The song "This Corrosion" by Maryslim is an intriguing song that may convey different interpretations to different listeners. On one hand, it could be interpreted as a plea for a sort of redemption or a search for something or someone that would make the singer feel whole. This can be seen in the lines "Gimme the Ring, kissed and toll'd. Gimme something that I missed. A hand to hold, wild and what it seems." These lines express a desire for a sense of completeness, something that the singer has been missing.
On the other hand, the song could also be interpreted as introspective, with the lyrics highlighting the inner turmoil of the singer. Even though there is a desire for something new, perhaps something adventurous or bold, the singer seems to be weighed down by their past mistakes and their personal demons. This is demonstrated in the lines, "I got nothing to say I ain't said before. I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more. I don't need no one to understand. Why the blood run hold."
The chorus of the song "Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me" is a call to someone, maybe a lover, to sing a song that would help them forget their troubles or their inner corrosion. The repeated lines of "sing, sing" serve as a prayer for a cathartic release from the singer's inner turmoil.
Line by Line Meaning
Gimme the Ring, kissed and toll'd
Give me the ring that has been kissed and blessed by the priest
Gimme something that I missed
Give me something which I was not able to obtain earlier
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems
I want someone to hold my hand, even if it is unpredictable
Kill the king, when love is the law,
Overthrow the current ruler, when love is of utmost importance
And then we'll turn round...
After the revolution, we will see what happens next
Gimme dream child
Give me a child who will fulfill my dreams
And do you hear me call?
Do you understand my plea?
sing
Sing with me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Sing this song with me, right now
On daze, like this
On days like this
In times like these
Especially in times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
I feel an intense, primal urge
Well, what do you say
What do you suggest
Living on if and if I tried,
Surviving on a slim chance, if I even try
Somebody got a song for me
Does someone have a song for me?
I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I have nothing new to say
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I have already given everything I have, can't give anymore
I don't need no one to understand
I don't need anyone to comprehend my thoughts
Why the blood run hold
Why the flow of blood has stopped
The highered hand
The raised hand, signifying surrender or defeat
On heart hand of God
On my heart, with God as the witness
Floodland and Driven Apart
A reference to their earlier songs
Run cold
Turn cold
Turn
Change
Cold
Emotionless
Burn
Hurts like fire
Like a healing hand
Feels like it's trying to heal, but it's hurting
