Coffee Got Cold
Two Day Coma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coffee got cold
I was alright and then something got hold
Joke got old
It was funny at first but it slowly got worse each time told
Covered in mould

Something got lost
Wanted it all, didn't question the cost
Line got crossed
We couldn't do much, once it started to rust it was off
Covered in moss

Coffee got cold
I lost my nerve and decided to fold
Couldn't keep hold
It worked out quite nice, once I lowered the price of my soul
It finally sold

Something went wrong
Or maybe there was something up all along
Couldn't keep on




Once we brought it up there wasn't too much to be done
The song had been sung

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Coffee Got Cold" by Two Day Coma is a reflection of the deterioration of a relationship, career or dream. The initial excitement and enthusiasm have worn off and it is slowly fading away. The repeated phrase "Coffee got cold" indicates that something was once warm and comforting, but has turned cold and uninviting, just like the relationship or circumstance. The line "I was alright and then something got hold" suggests that there was a sudden change and things went downhill from there. The jokes which were once funny are now stale, and situations have turned from being manageable to being covered in mold and moss. The use of nature, mold and moss, symbolizes decay and destruction.


The lyrics further indicate that there was something that was lost, and the person wanted it all without questioning the cost. The use of the phrase, "once it started to rust, it was off," implies that there was no turning back after a certain point. The line "I lost my nerve and decided to fold" suggests that the person had been struggling for a while, but had finally given up. The song's chorus "Something went wrong, or maybe there was something up all along" suggests that there might have been trouble from the beginning, but the person chose to ignore it or sweep it under the rug.


In the end, the person's soul was sold for a lower price, and there was nothing that could be done as "the song had been sung." The lyrics tell a story of resignation, the loss of passion, and the realization that something that was once filled with promise has come to an end.
