Coma
Naked Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgotten forlorn falling leaves
That seem content with atrophy
As seasons pass them by
I've felt a coma of the sun
The work from light of day undone
A cold wind blows the night's begun
Wasted work, that's been put forth
Blood and sweat to make once more
Progress that's been made before
Existence wanders by . . . . . . our lives
. . . . . . . . .
Wake up and open your eyes
Wake up you're starting anew
Wake up and fade from your dreams
Wake up rise to your fate
Your fate your fate oh rise to your fate
Your fate, your fate, oh rise to your fate
Your fate, your fate, oh rise to your fate
Your fate, your fate, oh rise to your feet
The lyrics in Naked Empire's song Coma paint a picture of stagnation and hopelessness. The first stanza describes a coma of the trees, which represent a lack of growth and vitality. The falling leaves are forgotten and forlorn, content with their state of decay as seasons pass them by. The second stanza describes a coma of the sun, with the light of day undone by a cold wind that signifies the start of the night. Both stanzas represent a sense of cycle and repetition where moments pass by, leaving a feeling of wasted work and progress that has been made before. The final lines of the song call for waking up, rising to your fate, and embracing the new beginning.
The message of the song is beautifully pessimistic. It is describing the entropy of life, the entropic tendencies of human societies, and the cycle of growth and decay of everything around us. It is as much about perceptual challenges as it is about the challenges in our lives. The metaphor of a coma is used to denote a state of stasis, where none of the things we do or achieve matters because of the inherent decay and entropy around us.
