Coma
Hayden Stanford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up in outer space, theres a lot on my brain so i’ll make some coffee and contemplate my mistakes
Why did we love? We broke in two
We tried picking up the pieces but we fell like fools
Pre chorus:
Oo oo, where’d you go, I’m all choked up cold you got me sing the blues
Oo oo I dont answer the phone, i just sit at home because
Chorus:
Ive been stuck in a coma, a shelled and lonely loaner
Smoke my lungs out on the sofa, numb and lacking a lover
I’ve been stuck in a coma, a shelled and lonely loaner
I’ve been saying it whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Verse:
Then I’ll brush my teen and put on some cartoons, I’ll fill my lungs and take a trip to the moon
numbing wont heal, the past is done but I’ll heal after I see what Ive become
Pre chorus:
Oo oo, I feel alone, I’m all choked up cold got me singing the blues
Oo oo, a chill in my bones, I pick up my phone it reads
Chorus:
Ive been stuck in a coma, a shelled and lonely loaner
Smoke my lungs out on the sofa, numb and lacking a lover
I’ve been stuck in a coma, a shelled and lonely loaner
I’ve been saying it whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
The lyrics to Hayden Stanford's song "Coma" explore the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer wakes up in outer space, metaphorically symbolizing a state of disorientation and confusion. They make coffee and contemplate their mistakes, suggesting a sense of regret and introspection. The line "Why did we love? We broke in two" highlights the confusion and pain caused by the end of the relationship.
The verse continues with the image of trying to pick up the broken pieces but ultimately feeling like fools. This captures the futility of attempting to repair something that is irreparably damaged. The pre-chorus expresses the singer's longing for the lost love, feeling choked up and singing the blues. They choose to isolate themselves at home, perhaps to avoid confronting the painful reality.
The chorus repeats the idea of being stuck in a coma, emphasizing the emotional paralysis and loneliness the singer is experiencing. Smoking their lungs out and numbing themselves on the sofa is a coping mechanism to escape the pain and void left by the absence of a lover. The repetition of "whatever" suggests a sense of resignation and indifference towards their current state.
In the second verse, the singer tries to distract themselves by brushing their teeth and watching cartoons. They yearn for a trip to the moon, symbolizing a desire for escape or a fresh start. They acknowledge that numbing themselves won't heal the past, but they hope to find healing by discovering who they have become.
Overall, "Coma" delves into the aftermath of a broken relationship, exploring feelings of regret, loneliness, and the search for personal growth and healing.
