Coma
Sacred Spirits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more confused I get
The more confused i get,
I′m already irrelevant,
So i keep my thoughts,
To myself,
If i get into heaven,
I don't know what i′ll do,
I might cry,
If i'm not talking,
It don't mean i′m not thinking,
And if i′m not crying,
It don't mean i′m not grieving,
And if i am dying,
It don't mean i′m not living,
And when i'm not wishing,
It don′t mean i'm not dreaming,
I'm only sleeping
The lyrics of "Coma" by Sacred Spirits express an introspective and contemplative state of mind which is reflective of the singer's confusion and irrelevance in the world. The farther the singer gets, the more confused they become, and their thoughts become disconnected from reality. The lyrics describe the singer's contemplation of the afterlife, and the uncertainty that comes with it. They may not know how to react when they reach heaven, but the idea of death, as a finality, is something that makes them emotional.

The stanza goes on to suggest that even if the singer is dying, they are still living, and when they are not wishing, they are still dreaming. The lyrics of "Coma" highlight the idea that one's internal thoughts and emotions are not always visible to others and that even when someone is silent, they can still be experiencing a range of emotions.
Overall, the song "Coma" by Sacred Spirits is about introspection and the internal conflict that one experiences in their life. The lyrics suggest that even when one feels lost or disconnected, it is still possible to experience a range of emotions and to have a rich inner life that is not always visible to others.

The farther I get
As I progress in my life journey
The more confused I get
I become more bewildered and less sure of my path
The more confused i get,
I find myself struggling to understand the world around me
I′m already irrelevant,
My existence seems to hold little significance
So i keep my thoughts,
I choose to keep my innermost musings to myself
To myself,
Without sharing my deep reflections with others
If i get into heaven,
In the event that I am granted entry into the afterlife
I don't know what i′ll do,
I am uncertain how I will react in such a scenario
But when i realize that i died,
When the reality of my mortality sets in
I might cry,
I could potentially shed tears of sadness or joy
If i'm not talking,
If I am not engaged in conversation
It don't mean i′m not thinking,
It should not be assumed that I am not pondering something in my mind
And if i′m not crying,
If I am not showing visible emotion
It don't mean i′m not grieving,
It does not mean that I am not experiencing deep emotional pain
And if i am dying,
If my life is slipping away from me
It don't mean i′m not living,
I may still feel very much alive and present in the moment
And when i'm not wishing,
When I am not yearning for something
It don′t mean i'm not dreaming,
It should not be assumed that I am not harboring fantastical aspirations
I'm only sleeping
I am simply at rest, perhaps even recharging my mind and soul
