Coma

Los Bunkers' song 'Coma' delves into themes of emotional exhaustion, existential searching, and the desire for eternal rest. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has poured their heart and soul into their surroundings, only to be met with disappointment and a lack of meaningful connection. The opening lines, 'Vertí mi sangre en este lugar / Gasté las calles de la ciudad,' suggest a deep investment in their environment, both physically and emotionally, yet this investment has not yielded the hoped-for results.

The song continues to explore the protagonist's internal struggle, as they lower their defenses and seek out reasons to keep going. The lines 'Bajé la guardia y me conseguí / Alguna excusa mejor para seguir' reflect a search for purpose amidst a backdrop of fleeting words and empty conversations. This sense of futility is further emphasized by the recurring theme of silence and eternal sleep, as seen in 'Y me callé para siempre / Para siempre.' The protagonist's silence signifies a withdrawal from the world, a retreat into themselves as they grapple with their inner turmoil.

The chorus, 'Y voy a perderme / Por última vez / Hoy voy a perder la razón / Como lo soñé,' captures the essence of surrender and the longing for an end to their suffering. The desire to 'perder la razón' (lose reason) and 'dormir para siempre' (sleep forever) underscores a profound weariness and a wish to escape the pain of existence. The song's closing lines, 'No quiero que me despiertes / Y me quedé para siempre / Para siempre aquí,' solidify this yearning for eternal rest, a final escape from the relentless struggles of life. 'Coma' is a poignant exploration of the depths of human despair and the ultimate desire for peace.
