Comatose
Skillet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate feelin' like this
I'm so tired of tryin' to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of is waking to you

Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missin'
And the more I hide I realize I'm slowly losin' you
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

I hate livin' without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waitin'
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore you
Oh how I thirst for you
Oh how I need you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me

You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes
Open up

Comatose
I'll never wake without an overdose of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Wakin' up to you never felt so real)

Oh how I adore you
Wakin' up to you never felt so real
Oh how I thirst for you
Wakin' up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you

Oh




The way you make me feel
Wakin' up to you never felt so real

@danieldennis7247

I come to life ,
Waking, breathing,
I’ve left my grave,
Decaying , sleeping.....
I’m gonna make it today,
I can face life this way,
Your warm breeze on my face,
Taking me ,
Taking me in.....
I press right into you



@user-il3zj8rt4d

This is lyricks
Я ненавижу подобное чувство
Я так устал, пытаюсь бороться с ним,
Я сплю и все, о чем я мечтаю
Оказаться рядом с Тобой
Скажи, что ты услышишь.
Прикосновение свыше — мне не хватает этого
И чем больше прячусь, тем больше осознаю,
что отхожу от Тебя

Comatose
Я никогда не проснусь без передоза тобой

Я не хочу жить
Я не хочу дышать
Если не чувствую связи с Тобой
Ты забираешь боль, которую я чувствую
Осознание Твоей сущности
никогда не было реальнее.
Я не хочу спать
Я не хочу мечтать
Потому что мои сны не будут такими
Как Ты заставляешь меня чувствовать
Осознание Твоей сущности
никогда не было реальнее.

Я ненавижу жизнь без Тебя
Я ошибся, усомнившись в Тебе
Но мои демоны ждут
искушения забрать меня
Я верю в Тебя
Я хочу почувствовать Тебя
Ты нужен мне!

I simply love how Skillet makes their lyrics vague enough so that multiple meanings can be taken from them. You might take the idea of someone missing a lover or maybe even having a drug addiction. As I said, they are made vague enough to have multiple received meanings

@destiny9253

Agreed
