Coma White
Marilyn Manson · The Last Tour On Earth - CD 2
There's something cold and blank
Behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In a miracle mile
Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
She was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a poloroid
That lost all her dolls
Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In a miracle mile
Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
She was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a poloroid
That lost all her dolls
Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Coma White
Released on the 1996 album Mechanical Animals, "Coma White" stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution toward industrial metal and electronic rock. The song features a driving, mechanical rhythm section that underscores the album's themes of alienation and societal decay. With its aggressive vocal delivery and synth-heavy production, the recording exemplifies the band's signature sound during this era, blending gothic rock aesthetics with heavy metal intensity. As a staple of their discography, the track has become a cultural touchstone for the nu-metal movement, influencing countless subsequent artists who adopted similar sonic textures and lyrical focus on modern malaise.
