Coma
Wolverine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Machines that make me breathe, I just can't stand their terrible scream
I'm stumbling through smoke-filled rooms
With only darkness ahead, I wish I was dead
Drowned in a distance, I'm so safe and sound
Damn well protected from all those around
Seeking the life that was taken from me
Still all I see is a man on his knees
Although I'm asleep, can you feel I'm here?
Lost in this place, screaming for you

Back on my feet when a distant light
Brings me some hope and a strength that had died
A doorway that speaks of the world I once left
A final way out and a final way back
Then a sudden change makes the light start to fade
I need to run but I stumble instead
The light disappears as I lay on the ground
My last hope of freedom is turned into none...

Will I ever speak again, love again?
Will I ever leave my mind?
I am trapped inside myself, far from the outside
Why won't they let me die?
I'm tired as I lay here bleeding on the ground

Breathe

(We're the machines, the only friends around
Stay for a while and let us keep you alive)

Breathe

Here I am, I'm lost in this place
Wish I could just say goodbye
But you're not around to hear my cries...

Will I ever speak again, love again?
Will I ever leave my mind?
I am trapped inside myself, far from the outside
Why won't they just let me die?





Die

Overall Meaning

The song "Coma" by Wolverine explores themes of pain, helplessness, and the desire for release from suffering. The opening lines describe the haunting sound of machines that keep the singer alive, but which also fill him with revulsion. The imagery of smoke-filled rooms and darkness ahead suggests a feeling of being lost and trapped, while the desire to be dead reflects a sense of hopelessness and despair. Despite feeling drowned in distance, the singer still seeks to regain the life that was taken from him, but all he sees is a man on his knees, adding to the feeling of isolation and helplessness.


The second verse introduces the idea that the singer is asleep or comatose, but wants to be acknowledged and heard. The distant light that appears brings a sense of hope and strength, suggesting that there is still a way out. However, the sudden change and disappearance of the light crushes that hope, leaving the singer bleeding on the ground with no hope of escape. The repetition of "breathe" throughout the song could be seen as a reminder to stay alive, despite the desire for death.


Overall, "Coma" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the devastating effects of suffering and hopelessness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of despair and the desperate desire for release.

Extremely unique style. Personally, I really love this stuff. Sound mix is a little off: when new instruments come in they are really really loud and then it equalizes. 5/5
