I'm asleep and all I dream of is waking to you
Tell me that you will listen, your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide, I realize I'm slowly losing you
I'll never wake up without an overdose
Of you
Uness I feel you next me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
But my demons lay in waiting tempting me away
Oh, how I adore you
Oh, how I thirst for you
Oh, how I need you
I'll never wake up without an overdose
Of you
Uness I feel you next me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
My eyes open up
I love skillet. One of the main things i like about them is theyre songs do have the two meanings that can be interpreted however you like. Like if you are not religious you can still like the song by relating it to a relationship. this was the song that got me into skillet and i have not found a song i dont like by them at all.
Just because a band/artist is a christian doesn't mean all the songs they release will be dealing with that religion, though it will have strands that connect the songs to that religion. The most common meaning to me is a person trying to live on his/her own after losing someone they used as a pillar of strength. "I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe Unless I feel you next me" this line clearly shows that he/she is missing someone of great importance. Maybe that's why I can relate so well to this song I recently lost someone I loved dearly and I find it hard to even get up and go on with my day knowing that the person is gone.
Comatose. What a beautiful song. A song that speaks to most people as a time of recovering from waking up from a deep coma. I believe that Skillet did a great job on this one, seeing that it's one of their most popular songs ever released. I believe that it is a song about God, on the personal level, because of what is described. "I don't want to live, I don't want to breath, less I feel you next to me, you take the pain I feel." There could be "alternate" meanings, but God is seen as the one who takes our pain from us, through his son Jesus. He brings those in darkness (like a coma) into the light and those who come to the light of forgiveness and salvation (which Jesus offers through his death on the cross) so this song illustrates how powerful coming out of a coma (darkness or hard times) only to see God's love and light, is something truly unfathomable. That is really what the song means to me. He is always with me, and in all honesty, I agree with the lyrics "I don't want to live, and I don't want to breathe unless I feel God next to me." I have been forgiven of sins past present and future, and now I can live in the light and no longer expierience the Comatose I once lived in. SUCH a POWERFUL SONG.
you took the words right out of my mouth! I so agree!

i think that what you said about the song is right .. but why did you say that Jesus (PPUH) is the son of GOD ?? hes not ! it hurts when you see good believers losing the way , always seek the truth in every thing .. im not good when it comes to convince ppl in such thing but all im saying is "Read"...

I love this song! It suprises me to no end that this group isn't more well known! I haven't found a song that I hate or even dislike from this group yet. The emotion in this song is just wow! This is my favorite song!
Comatose-The state of being in a coma or in a deep sleep.
The song is about how you can be desensitized to sin just like being in a coma. God is the cure to living in a dark world (I'll never wake up without an overdose of you.)
Seriously, if you think this song's not about God, what or who is it about??
The singer of this song is basically saying that he is fully reliant on God, and has given his whole life to God, to the point that he doesn't want to do anything in his life without knowing that God is at his side. God can take away your pain and comfort you in any situation if you trust him.
It can be interpreted in two ways, as people said. I interpret it as the singer loving a girl, but not being able to reach her until he overcomes a great challenge, and being "awakened" afterwards, kind of like what my Tae Kwon Do teacher said would happen after I achieved my black belt. He doesn't feel this achievement is worth it if he can't see her after he achieves this "awakening", but his heart has wavered once on this task for another girl. Or something.

Okay, I've now read John Cooper's actual meaning: it's a song symbolizing that everybody is selfish and negative, and about all the violence and teen suicide and such. Essentially, we all have to wake up and fix our broken world. It's a message to make this world a better place than the horrible self-gratifying place it currently is.

Surprisingly, that sounds deeper than all these religious interpretations.

I know the song is about God... but I think about my boyfriend when I hear it. I love the song. It's beautiful. The music is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.
But the diference of God and your boyfiend is God will never dump you.

Before I realized this was a Christian band, I also thought this song was about a failed relationship, and made me think of my boyfriend too :) It made me think of how I would feel without my boyfriend.

...I know a lot of people are gonna hate me for this, but I just have to say my opinion...I'm not saying this is what this song is about, but listening to it just now reminded me of what Bella was like in New Moon when Edward left... please don't hurt me!

This song could be interpreted two different ways. Most of their songs are, and that's why I love them. If could be interpreted as a Christian song, where he's singing about God. It could also be interpreted as being about a failing relationship, and he feels he can't live without her.

I think the ability of a song to be interpreted in different ways is the sign of a truly great artist :)
