Black Tongue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Black Tongue's song "Coma" are a statement about the disillusionment and despair that the singer feels towards the world that they are living in. The song begins with a profanity-laced expression of frustration towards the "temporary bullshit" of the world, and a desire to find the "light at the end" of the tunnel. The singer is willing to die to achieve this goal, and urges the listener to "open your mind" and realize that they are living as "slaves" in a world of "smoke and mirrors." The use of the term "Draconian mind-state" suggests that the singer sees the world as oppressive and draconian, perhaps ruled by an authoritarian government or other powerful institutions.
The second half of the song continues this theme of despair, with the singer expressing that there is no happiness or love in the world, only "ash and the void" and "rent flesh and blood." They reject the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and instead call themselves a "martyr" whose "light is dying inside." The final lines of the song urge the listener to "open your eyes" and bear witness to the problems of the world, and concludes with the singer's defiant call to "send me to Hell 'cause I don't give a fuck."
Overall, "Coma" is a dark and nihilistic song that expresses the singer's disillusionment with the world and their desire to find a way out of it. The song is characterized by its heavy instrumentation and growled vocals, which give it an intense and aggressive sound that matches the lyrics' mood.

@Paralytikus
+Messy Hagina Is that supposed to be bad?
@TheMortician
+Cheeky Jester It is a bad thing. Breakdowns are boring and been over played.
@Paralytikus
+Aaron Morton That's an awfully large generalization there.
@TheMortician
Unless there is an actual riff incorporated in it, the "chug chug chiggity chug chug" gets old.
@P_I_I_N_T_S

I have this CRAZY idea: listen to music you do like and don't waste your time bitching about the music you don't.
@intronaut8582
***** No one said anything about one's right to share their opinion. I said a good idea would be to not waste your time here if you dislike it. If I click on a video and it's not what I want to hear, I click on another one. It's simple and effective.
