Don't Want You
Coma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That's us, spinning around, all together
Everybody needs a little sunshine
And a tear shed when they die
But why should I worry that much
If all of us soon turn to dust
And it's funny how love makes us dumb
And we see stars already dead
86 billion brain cells in silence
Waiting for some spark, someone

I don't want nobody
And it's making me heavy
True, I want no one
But this loneliness is making me heavy
I don't want nobody
But this is making me heavy




I should need someone
Cause this is making me heavy

Overall Meaning

In Coma's song "Don't Want You," the lyrics reflect on the complexities of human emotions and the inevitable nature of life and death. The song begins with the acknowledgment that everyone needs moments of joy and sadness in their lives. The line "everybody needs a little sunshine and a tear shed when they die" suggests that experiencing both happiness and sorrow is essential for a fulfilling life. However, the lyrics question why one should worry excessively when, in the end, all of us will eventually turn to dust. This introspective observation highlights the fleeting nature of life and the insignificance of certain worries and concerns.


The song then delves into the paradoxical nature of love. Love, which often brings joy and happiness, can also make individuals act irrationally or blindly. The reference to seeing "stars already dead" symbolizes the notion of holding onto something that is no longer alive or fulfilling.


The chorus conveys the singer's reluctance to form connections with others. The repetition of the phrase "I don't want nobody" emphasizes the desire for solitude and self-reliance. However, it becomes apparent that this desire for isolation brings a sense of heaviness and loneliness. The lyrics imply a conflict between this desire for independence and the yearning for human connection.


In summary, "Don't Want You" by Coma contemplates the transience of life, the paradoxical nature of love, and the conflicting emotions surrounding the desire for solitude and human connection.
