Coma
Man & Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are going weightless
The skyline bends
The world has fled somewhere
There is no more night and day, it's only darkness, only darkness
The sun no longer rises over the mountains
Over the mountains, over the mountains
You are alone, locked in your body
You are alone, locked in your body
You are alone, locked in your body
No way out
You don't know if it's waking or dreaming
You sink deeper and deeper
You want to wake up
You want your life back
(You want your life back)
You want it (You want it) - but you can't get it (But you can't get it)
You can not
You're in a coma
You're in a coma
You are alone
You are alone
In "Coma," Man & Ghost describes the experience of being trapped in a coma, unable to wake up or interact with the world around them. The lyrics paint a picture of isolation and fear, where the normal rhythms of day and night are gone, and the world seems to have abandoned the comatose person. As they drift deeper into the coma, they struggle to regain control of their body and return to their normal life, but it feels like an impossible task.
The repeated refrain of "you are alone, locked in your body" emphasizes the sense of disconnection from the outside world, even as the person's mind is still active. The line "you don't know if it's waking or dreaming" adds to the confusion and uncertainty of the situation, as the person is unable to distinguish between reality and their inner thoughts and fears.
