Sultana initially made a name for themself busking on the streets of Melbourne and having homemade videos go viral getting millions of views online. Since having their hands wrapped around a guitar at the age of three, the self-taught artist quickly developed their own unique style that has people lining up to see them perform live. Their vocal shines with a magical quality, they have a natural gift for melody and their virtuosic guitar playing is from another planet.
Sultana sold out their entire World tour and was added to dozens of high profile festivals including Laneway 2017. Both singles ‘Jungle’ and ’Notion’ were quick to receive high rotation on national broadcaster triple j. With their six-track “Notion EP” released via their very own independent label “Lonely Lands Records”, the sky is the limit.

Tash Sultana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I won't go
Maybe I should write it in a letter
Maybe I, I, I should probably let you know
That I, I, I, I, I
I've seen this all before
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't need this no more
Ooh
It was cold and dark in the middle of the night
Laying on the floor, filled with substance abuse
And my heart, it told me many things
But my head told me to stay away from you
And I, I, I, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've seen this all before
Ooh-ooh-ooh
And I, I, I, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't need this no more
No, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
In Tash Sultana's song "Coma," the lyrics depict a situation where the singer is refusing to be pulled into a toxic and familiar pattern. The opening lines, "Please don't follow me down, No, I won't go, Maybe I should write it in a letter, Maybe I, I, I should probably let you know," suggest a desire to break free from a destructive relationship. The singer acknowledges the need for clear communication, possibly through writing, to convey their decision to distance themselves.
The repetition of the lines "I've seen this all before" and "Don't need this no more" highlights the singer's awareness of the repetitive nature of their experiences. The following lines, "It was cold and dark in the middle of the night, Laying on the floor, filled with substance abuse, And my heart, it told me many things, But my head told me to stay away from you," suggest the singer reflecting on a previous encounter that was emotionally and physically draining. Despite the heart's warnings, the logical mind advises the singer to stay away from this person.
Overall, "Coma" is a song about recognizing harmful patterns and consciously choosing to break free from them. It speaks of self-preservation and the strength to walk away from toxic relationships.

But my head told me to stay away from you
However, my rational thinking advised me to keep my distance from you
No, no, no, no
Repeating a negative response or rejection
Ooh-ooh
Expressing a sound of contemplation

My family and I have been hitting rough patches for a long time and then my grandpa passed away January 17th..
I have and still do experience a lot of darkness, but it's music like this that helps me remember to be thankful.
Music is some of the light that keeps me pushing and the masterpieces Tash creates and shares with us are a huge source of that for me.
It isn't just music to me, it's apart of my mind my body and me as a soul.
It's the way I show and release my emotions and how I build connections.
It's what helps me keep seeing that anything is possible and how beautiful everything really is.
How wonderful it is that we're given something as amazing as the individualism and raw, ethereal feelings that come with art and expression.
I hope that wherever my grandpa's soul is he can hear this music.. he would have loved it.
Thank you, Tash.

The album is awesome! Coma has been one of my favorite songs since you posted a version of it on your SoundCloud some years ago. It's very nice to see how this song evolved since then. This is a masterpiece, T! Sending love from Brazil <3

I'm obsessed with this. The part after 4:00 gives me chills. Was walking in the dark - it was very foggy, the lights around looked so blurry and this song all together gave me such good vibes .

chills, literal chills !!
