The lyrics to Future Bible Heroes' "Keep Your Children in a Coma" paint a dark and satirical picture of the challenges facing parents in raising children in the modern age. The song's verses speak to the overwhelming amount of technology and societal pressures children face, rendering them vulnerable and in need of protection. The chorus offers a chilling solution - keeping children in a state of sedation through the use of the fictional drug "soma" in order to spare them the pain and dangers of the world.
The lyrics are cleverly crafted to explore themes of control, fear, and the perils of modern society. The repeated refrain to keep children in a coma underscores the paranoia and desperation of parents attempting to shield their children from harm. The references to bullying, predatory priests, and other dangers highlight the very real fears parents have for their children's safety. The use of technology is also a recurring theme - children "have to program everything" and "have to use computers just to sing" - underscoring the idea that children are growing up in a world far different from the one their parents knew.
Overall, "Keep Your Children in a Coma" is a stark indictment of our modern times and a call to arms for parents to protect their children at any cost.
