Coma Lyrics
Tar and feathers hide your feelings
If you even know the meaning
Your high road is overrated
You left your guru out there hangin'
Don't stay
Don't stay
Your appetite's insatiable
Devouring one thousand souls
It's more or less the same ole story
The princess and the whore. The lady.
Nobody sees it
Nobody hears it
Nobody breathin' in a coma
So keep your secret
Your perfect secrets
It's just a game but no one's playin'
In a coma lying, waiting
Desire fills the lonely craving
So many trampled-under footwear
But more to fill the trophy cases.
i agree. it sounds like war.
comas, games, secrets and whores are all part of war.
I believe this to be another one about Mary, especially the first part.
"Tar and feathers" = euphemism for drugs and alcohol, and self-destructive behavior. "High road" - either drugged up lifestyle or just judgment and lectures in general. "You left your guru out there hangin'" = feeling alienated because she won't take his advise.
"It's just a game but no one's playin'" - A relationship gone into a serious stage.
"Don't stay" - Don't keep yourself trapped.

this is an awesome song to have sex too
They should play this song live more often as well as switch up their setlist that never gets changed much. They rock!!!
