Coma
BlakLight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel a distant chill
Then my flesh belongs to you
Was it just a dream
When no one can hear you scream
Separate us back in two
Inch by inch
Face to face
Mouth to mouth
But it′s squeezing at the heart
And it's freezing me inside
I′m not breathing on my own
I listen to your lies
But it's tearing me apart
And you're leaving me to die
I′m not grieving here alone
The truth will never rise
Is it time to fight
With this crooked parasite
I can start to feel it grow
At the edge of dawn
Will they even know I′m gone
They stopped praying long ago
Inch by inch
Side by side
Face to face
Mouth to mouth
But it's squeezing at the heart
And it′s freezing me inside
I'm not breathing on my own
I listen to your lies
But it′s tearing me apart
And you're leaving me to die
I′m not grieving here alone
The truth will never rise
Wake me when it's over
I know
We can't go home
Alone
There′s something inside
There′s something inside me
You can't give up
You can′t give up this time
There's something inside
There′s something inside me
You can't give up
You can′t give up this time
It's the only way back
The lyrics to BlakLight's song "Coma" depict a sense of desperation and isolation. The singer seems to be trapped in a state of paralysis, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines suggest a chilling sensation and a feeling of being controlled by someone or something. The mention of no one being able to hear the screams implies a sense of helplessness or being unheard in their pain.
The lyrics convey a longing for connection, as the singer describes being separated from someone, possibly a loved one or a significant other. The physical proximity highlighted in lines like "inch by inch, side by side, face to face, mouth to mouth" suggests an intense desire for intimacy and closeness. However, the emotional toll is evident, as the singer expresses feeling the squeeze on their heart and being frozen inside. They acknowledge listening to lies and being torn apart by the actions of the other person, who seems to be leaving them to suffer alone.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-discovery and a battle against external forces. The mention of a "crooked parasite" hints at a toxic presence or influence in the singer's life. They question if it's time to fight against this destructive entity, alluding to a potential confrontation or resistance. The line about others no longer praying for them suggests a loss of support or hope from those who were once close.
In the latter part of the song, the lyrics take a more hopeful turn. The mention of waking up when it's over implies a longing for an end to the torment and a return to normalcy. There's a belief that there is something inside the singer, some inner strength or resilience, that can't be given up. The repeated refrain emphasizes the importance of not giving up, suggesting that finding a way back to a better state is the only option.
Overall, "Coma" delves into themes of emotional struggle, longing for connection, and the resilience to overcome hardships.
