Escape With Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to find my way
until the sun goes down
I have to fight every day
I'm a shadow on your landscape
there's no need to explain
you see millions and millions
and I'm one of them
But you'll gonna find me
I'm in your reach
just waiting there somewhere
on coma beach
all the flights to paradise
they are fully booked
and those who are staying there
they are so fucked up
I'm a living portrait
reduced to stare
all the lucky moments
they seem oh so rare
But you'll gonna find me
I'm in your reach
just waiting there somewhere
on coma beach
I sleep until december
I'm in your reach
just lying there somewhere
on coma beach
coma beach
The lyrics of Escape With Romeo's song "Coma Beach" depict a sense of aimlessness and disconnect with the world. The singer feels lost and insignificant among the millions of people in the world. The contrast between the flights to paradise being fully booked and those who are staying there being "so f*cked up" highlights the singer's disillusionment with the idea of paradise. The singer sees themselves as a "living portrait reduced to stare," unable to fully participate in life or take advantage of all its opportunities.
The repeated phrase "But you'll gonna find me, I'm in your reach just waiting there somewhere on coma beach" portrays a sense of hopelessness, but also a faint glimmer of hope. The singer longs to be found and saved, but they are resigned to waiting on coma beach until someone comes to rescue them. The title, "Coma Beach," also adds to the sense of depression and apathy in the lyrics, as though the singer is mentally numb and unable to fully experience life.
