Coma Beach's musical influences range from Sex Pistols, Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N' Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion, with their songs frequently straddling the line between punk rock and alternative rock.
The band's English lyrics draw on numerous themes and motifs from various authors, such as the existentialist view of the world's utter meaninglessness, as portrayed in Samuel Beckett's plays and novels; the satirical-sarcastic approach to the absurdities of human existence, as employed in Douglas Adams's narratives; the often tragic and – not infrequently – self-inflicted conflicts that countless characters have to suffer through in William Shakespeare's plays; or Arthur Schopenhauer's system of a radical metaphysical pessimism.
Passion
Coma Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm looking out of the window
Which consists of fragments
I'm going out of the door
Where the axe of death passes me its hand
I repress my daily routine
But I tolerate it still
Where is my passion
I once had?
I ask you
'Cause you support the guilt
Where is my passion
I once had?
I'm too sensitive for this world
The enthusiasm that I felt when I was young
Is now hatred
I repress it
But the frustration is too strong
Where is my passion
I once had?
I ask you
'Cause you support the guilt
Where is my passion
I once had?
Why don't you redeem me from this torment?
Give me a new life where I'll find my old passion
If you don't help me, I'll manage to help myself
But then I'll be victorious
Where is my passion
I once had?
I ask you
'Cause you support the guilt
Where is my passion
I once had?
Where is my passion?
Where is my passion?
Where is my passion?
Where is my passion?
Where is my passion?
Where is my passion?
Where is my paaaaaaaaaa-?
Where is my passion
I once had?
I ask you
'Cause you support the guilt
Where is my passion
I once had?
The lyrics of Coma Beach's song "Passion" reflect the disillusionment and frustration of the singer as they feel that their once vibrant and intense passion has dimmed and transformed into ashes stored in a figurative vault. The opening line sets the tone, suggesting that the passion they once possessed is now in a state of decay and confinement.
In the following lines, the singer describes their perception of the world around them. Looking out of the window, their view is fragmented, possibly symbolizing a fractured and disconnected reality. Stepping out of the door, they encounter death metaphorically, representing the weight and despair they face in their everyday life.
The singer expresses a sense of repression and toleration in their daily routine, suggesting that they may have lost touch with their true desires and aspirations. They question the whereabouts of their past passion, reaching out to someone, perhaps a loved one or confidant, who they feel carries some responsibility for the guilt that hinders them from rediscovering their passion.
The lyrics reveal that the singer feels too sensitive for the harshness of the world they find themselves in. While they once felt enthusiasm and excitement when they were younger, those emotions have been replaced by hatred, which they attempt to suppress. However, the frustration stemming from this suppression becomes unbearable.
The singer begs for redemption from this torment, yearning for a new life where they can reconnect with their old passion. They express a desire for assistance, hoping that someone will come to their aid. If they don't receive help, they assert their determination to independently find a way out, declaring that victory will be their ultimate outcome.
The repeated question of "Where is my passion?" emphasizes the singer's desperate search for something they feel has been lost. The final elongated cry and unresolved question reflect their unresolved longing and unanswered plea, leaving the listener with a sense of yearning and uncertainty.
