Coma
Unswabbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comment espérer encore quand tout espoir est mort?
Comment rêver encore quand tous mes rêves sont morts?
Pour toi les jours passent mais tu restes de glace!
Plus d'odeurs, plus de traces!
Plongé dans ce Coma.
Ces drogues te tiennent encore en vie.
Ces drogues font de toi un zombie.
Pourquoi espérer encor quand tout espoir est mort?
Pourquoi rêver encore quand tous les rêves sont morts?
Comment y croire encore? Quand les jours passent!
Quand tout espoir est mort! Quand les jours passent!
Comment y croire encore? Quand les jours passent!
Quand tout espoir est mort! Quand les jours passent!
The lyrics to Unswabbed's "Coma" describe the feeling of hopelessness and despair when watching a loved one succumb to drug addiction. The singer questions how they can continue to believe in a positive outcome when each day passes with no improvement. The repetition of the phrase "Comment y croire encore" (how can I still believe) emphasizes the frustration and desperation of the situation.
The singer also expresses the pain of watching someone they care about become a shell of their former self. The person in the coma is described as cold and lifeless, with no scent or presence left behind. The drugs are keeping them alive, but only as a zombie-like existence. The use of the phrase "Plongé dans ce Coma" (plunged into this coma) suggests that this was not a choice, but rather the result of addiction taking hold.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of helplessness when faced with the reality of drug addiction. Despite wanting to believe in hope and dreams, the singer is forced to confront the harsh truth that sometimes there is no coming back from the depths of addiction.
