Coma
Eventually Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't run, I was just
Being a little funny
You yell, then cry
But it's clear to me

If I were to fall
Into a coma
I know that you
Would come over

To spit in my face
Tell me my mistakes
I promise I'll change
When I'm awake

Maybe I'm sad
So I lie
But I won't lie
When I close my eyes

So I'll fall
Into a coma
Then maybe you
Could come over

And have a seat
This song's on repeat
You open your mouth
But words don't come out

You see me smiling
And you start crying




'Cause you're there living
And I'm here dying

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics depict a sarcastic and somewhat ironic situation. The singer admits to being a little funny but it leads to the listener becoming upset and emotional. However, the singer realizes that despite this reaction, it is clear to them what is really going on. It hints at the notion that the listener may not fully understand or appreciate the singer's intentions or sense of humor.


The second verse introduces the idea of falling into a coma. It metaphorically represents a state of detachment or distance in a relationship. The singer suggests that if they were to enter this state, they believe that the listener would finally come over to them. The coma becomes a symbol of the extreme measures the singer believes they must take in order to get attention or acknowledgement from the listener.


The third verse continues exploring the dynamic between the singer and the listener within the coma scenario. The singer imagines the listener spitting in their face and listing their perceived mistakes. They promise to change their behavior once they wake up, suggesting a desire to address their flaws and improve themselves. This can be interpreted as a plea for acceptance or forgiveness from the listener in the face of their apparent shortcomings.


In the final verse, the singer reveals a deeper layer of emotion. They admit to pretending to be happy or content when they are actually sad. However, the singer assures the listener that when they close their eyes, they won't deceive themselves anymore. The mention of falling into a coma again suggests a desire to disconnect from reality and the pain it brings. The singer hopes that such an extreme action would prompt the listener to finally come over and pay attention.


The closing lines of the song emphasize the contrasting emotions between the singer and the listener. The singer paints a picture of the listener crying while they are smiling. This creates a stark contrast between the suffering experienced by the listener in their everyday life and the singer's internal struggles and longing for connection. The lyric suggests that the singer feels isolated and forgotten in their current state, longing for the listener's empathy and understanding.

Don't run, I was just
Don't distance yourself, I was merely


Being a little funny
Trying to bring some humor into the situation


You yell, then cry
You express your frustration and then break down emotionally


But it's clear to me
But I can see and understand


If I were to fall
If I were to enter


Into a coma
A state of unconsciousness


I know that you
I'm aware that you


Would come over
Would come to my side


To spit in my face
To confront me and express anger


Tell me my mistakes
Point out my errors


I promise I'll change
I assure you I'll make changes


When I'm awake
Once I regain consciousness


Maybe I'm sad
Perhaps I'm feeling unhappy

But I won't deceive


When I close my eyes
When I shut out the world


So I'll fall
So I'll enter


Into a coma
A state of unconsciousness


Then maybe you
Maybe then you


Could come over
Could visit me


And have a seat
And sit down


This song's on repeat
I keep replaying this song


You open your mouth
You begin to speak


But words don't come out
But no words are uttered


You see me smiling
You observe me with a smile


And you start crying
And you start to cry


'Cause you're there living
Because you're alive and present


And I'm here dying
While I'm here slowly fading away

Zack

as my whole world comes down around me
show me no pity as i ease
into a suicidal laughter

with the setting sun, my father's gun is whispering

and as my family dies from cancer
i am teary-eyed and weak
i'm not weary of disasters

the end is numb, for everyone, eventually

and as my friendships are decaying
and we're all waking from the dream
this dying day just ain't worth saving

so i hide away, in my poison brain, trying to sleep
