'Comatose' is a new track from the Grand Rapids metalcore band HOLLOW FRONT that has been inspired by the experience and hardships that they have gone through while battling depression during COVID-19.
Tyler Tate, the vocalist for HOLLOW FRONT, spoke about his experience with depression during COVID-19:
"I came up with this concept while being caught in the depths of depression during the heaviest part of the pandemic. When the entire music industry was shut down, and there was no sign of a comeback sight. Everything we had worked for was taken away in the blink of an eye and we had no idea when we would get it back. It was terrifying."
"I felt like I was fighting an impending darkness all the time, what I refer to in the song as “the sleep”; that feeling as if you’re just floating through your life, without happiness or purpose. Almost like being in a coma, but still retaining your higher cognitive functions. You’re aware of what’s happening around you, but don’t know how long you’ll be stuck this way, or if you’ll ever truly feel awake and alive again. But you have no choice but to press on, even though you feel trapped by the weight of carrying on. I think a lot of human beings feel this way, especially over the past few years. Some of us are on autopilot, just taking life day by day and hoping to feel happy and normal again."

'Comatose' lyrics:
[Verse 1: Tyler Tate]
I'm feeling tired, weighed down by a hopeless world
Everywhere I turn, I watch the whole thing burn
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Tate]
What have I lost and what all did it cost?
All these feelings buried deep in my thoughts
[Chorus: Tyler Tate & Dakota Alvarez]
Comatose
In a sleep so deep, I feel I'm never coming home
Comatose and morose
Trapped in a nightmare and it won't let me go
[Verse 2: Tyler Tate]
Trust me when I say I don't want sympathy
For this dormant beast that dwells inside of me
I've been fighting the sleep
For so long 'cause I don't belong
Walking to the beat
Of this same damn song, where did it all go wrong?
[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Tate]
What have I lost and what all did it cost?
All these feelings buried deep in my thoughts
A coma of the soul, relinquish self-control
Fall victim to the sleep
[Chorus: Tyler Tate & Dakota Alvarez]
Comatose
In a sleep so deep, I feel I'm never coming home
Comatose and morose
Trapped in a nightmare and it won't let me go
[Post-Chorus: Tyler Tate]
Lost, dreaming
I'm screaming out
'Cause I'm trapped in a nightmare
It won't let me go
[Bridge: Tyler Tate]
And I don't want sympathy
For this dormant beast that dwells inside of me
I've been fighting this sleep for so long
Walking to the beat of this same damn song
[Chorus: Tyler Tate & Dakota Alvarez]
Comatose
In a sleep so deep, I feel I'm never coming home
Comatose and morose
Trapped in a nightmare and it won't let me go
[Post-Chorus: Tyler Tate]
Lost, dreaming
I'm screaming out
'Cause I'm trapped in a nightmare
It won't let me go
