Composition and lyrics
[edit]The lyrics of "Code Mistake" describe issues such as personal conflict, self-doubt and loneliness. A hint of irony is added in the outro when Oli Sykes laughs and states he will always be a “code mistake,” implying that accepting oneself and one’s perceived shortcomings may be liberating. [2]
Music video
[edit]An animated music video was released on YouTube on 8 July 2023. It was directed by Tristan Zammit and features Corpse in different scenarios, such as being executed in front of a crowd and growing wings inside an abandoned hospital. Meanwhile, Oli Sykes is stuck in a guillotine and is then shown as a vampire.
