| The Smiths – Girlfriend in a Coma Lyrics

So I could be completely wrong here... but I've always kinda thought it was just a guy who had a girlfriend, then she went into a coma. After a long time of her not coming back/waking up, he wants to move on with his life (dump her). But if he leaves her then he is seen as a bad guy, it would almost be easier if she were gone, thoughts of strangling her and just getting on with his life go through his head, but of course as soon as they do he feels horrible about it and realizes he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her. In the end he just does the hard thing and leaves.
I also don't think that she necessarily has to be in a coma, just in a bad situation, or going through something that the guy doesn't want to go through alongside herwhen it would be easier to leave. Love the song regardless. |

This song is absolutely brilliant! It's fairly simple lyrically, stating exactly how he feels, but the music adds this urgency to it all, the distress that goes alongside these feelings. Until the end, when the music lets up... I'm not sure exactly how to interpret that part, either the weariness of still being around and "feeling this bad" or the calm acceptance of how he plans to let things finally come to an end. Or a combination of the two. It doesn't matter too much anyways, incredible song regardless! |
