Coma Black a) Eden Eye b) The Apple Of Discord
Marilyn Manson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies
It didn't know what love was on that day
My heart's a tiny blood clot, I picked at it
It never heals it never goes away

I burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die
I burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

I would have told her then, she was the only thing
That I could love in this dying world
But the simple word of love itself
Already died and went away

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

I burned all the good things in the eden ye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die
I burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

Her heart's a bloodstained egg
We didn't handle with care
It's broken and bleeding
And we can never repair

Her heart's a bloodstained egg
We didn't handle with care
It's broken and bleeding




And we can never repair
And we can never repair

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Coma Black" by Marilyn Manson evoke feelings of heartbreak, loss, and despair. The line "my mouth was a crib and it was growing lies" suggests that the singer has been dishonest with himself and others, possibly about his feelings towards someone he loved. The metaphorical language continues with "my heart's a tiny blood clot, I picked at it, it never heals it never goes away," portraying the deep emotional wounds left by his failed relationships. The singer burned all the good things in the "Eden eye" and is too dumb to run and too dead to die, implying that he has given up hope for any kind of redemption or happiness.


The repeated lines "This was never my world, you took the angel away, I'd kill myself to make everybody pay" suggest that the singer believes that he is not responsible for the darkness and pain he feels. He places the blame on an external force – "you" – who took away his "angel," or the one person who gave him hope and made him feel loved. This sense of victimhood and despair is compounded by the lines "her heart's a bloodstained egg, we didn't handle with care, it's broken and bleeding, and we can never repair."


Overall, "Coma Black" is a poignant portrayal of the emotional scars left by love and loss. The singer expresses his feelings of hopelessness, despair, and a desire for retribution or justice, making this song a powerful examination of heartbreak and its aftermath.
