Coma

The song 'Coma' by Issues delves into the intense emotions and struggles of loving someone who is in a critical state, possibly a coma, as suggested by the title. The lyrics express a deep yearning to be the central figure in the loved one's thoughts and dreams, highlighting the desperation and helplessness felt by the narrator. The opening lines, 'Everybody needs lovin’ sometimes / Physical emotion alright babe,' set the stage for a narrative that revolves around the need for emotional and physical connection, which is currently unattainable due to the loved one's condition.

The chorus, 'I wanna be all you think about / Anything and everything you dream about,' underscores the narrator's desire to be indispensable to their partner. This longing is further emphasized by the lines, 'As if I had it all figured out / I wanna be the one you can’t breathe without,' which reveal a sense of inadequacy and the pressure to be perfect in the eyes of their loved one. The song captures the essence of love that transcends physical presence, focusing on the emotional and spiritual connection that persists even in the face of adversity.

The bridge, 'From the car to the ER / Just think of me and pull yourself back to creation,' paints a vivid picture of the traumatic events leading to the current situation. It suggests a car accident that resulted in the loved one's critical condition. The narrator's plea for their partner to 'open your eyes' is a powerful metaphor for awakening and returning to life. This song is a poignant exploration of love, hope, and the struggle to maintain faith in the face of overwhelming odds, making it a deeply emotional and relatable piece for anyone who has experienced similar hardships.
