Coma White
Marilyn Manson · Mechanical Animals
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
From Marilyn Manson's 1998 album Mechanical Animals, "Coma White" stands as a defining track of the industrial rock era. The song blends aggressive electronic textures with Manson's signature theatrical vocal delivery, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the album's themes of alienation and societal decay. Released during a period when the artist was refining his transition from pop-punk to a more mature, electronic-infused style, the recording captures the raw energy and dark atmosphere characteristic of late 90s alternative metal. It remains a staple of his discography, often cited for its ability to evoke a sense of claustrophobic intensity that resonates with fans of the genre.
