Comatose is one of the best albums put out by Skillet. With every album they put out they just keep getting better and better. With plenty of have tones a few power ballads, this is an album that’ll rock your face off. Skillet does such an awesome job putting songs together.
1. Rebirthing is one of the songs with the most raw power in it. The first thing I think when hearing this song is Ted Dekker’s Circle Series how the main characters had to like, let themselves drown in the lake to be reborn. That was them rebirthing and starting again purified.
2. The Last Night can be really personal to some people. It is a song about a girl wanting to commit suicide. It tells you that God is watching you and doesn't want you to be alone and hurting. He is ready and waiting for you to be with Him. Even if noone else understand your pain God is there for you. The strings and the keys in this song are spectacular.
3. When you are hurt, or angered, then you want nothing more then to be alone. Sometimes you think the best way to keep from being hurt or angered is to just shut everything out and hide yourself from the world. Yours to Hold addresses this problem by presenting the reality that God is always there and waiting to hold you up when you are feeling down and that you don't need to be alone.
4. The song Better Than Drugs presents the way God can affect you. God's love can get you on a high so spectacular that it puts drug highs to shame and it has no negative side affects. Drugs give you a temporary high but leaves you broken inside and messed up. God's love is opposite, you go through a temporary hard time before being rewarded immensly.
5. The strings on this song are amazing. Comatose helps you realize that it is far too hard to live without God. Life is hopeless and helless without Him. You fall into a feeling of complaceny and nothing can sate your need for Him.
6. This song, the Older I Get is a song of regret. It stresses not to waste your life waiting for someone else to fix mistakes that were made. So many good memories could have been made while waiting for each other to make the first move towards apology.
7. If you've ever felt like the only good times in your life were the times spent with your best friend then you can relate to this song. Sometimes the only thing that can blot out the pain of life is having a close friend to keep you going. Memories of these times with your friend are priceless in times of darkness and help you realize that things can get better no matter how dark life gets.
8. Falling Inside The Black is a rather dark song. It blatantly puts out your need for God. Without God you feel like you can't crawl out of despair. It's just a downward spiral without Him. This song will bring tears to your eyes if you can relate to it.
9. Say Goodbye sounds like a relationship broken. But I think it is left open enough that it can be taken as any kind of loss. I love the keys in this song.
10.With amazing guitars and catchy choruses, Whispers in the Dark has to be one of the greatest songs on this album. This song reminds people that no matter how dark life gets Gjod is always around, so you'll never be alone.
11. Looking For Angels is different then all the other songs. It seems like Skillet always has one song that is just "different from the rest". They approach this song in a kind of a speech/song kind of thing. It basically says that people are always looking for relief in this life, through drugs, suicide, etc. Looking for a reason to live, looking for hope.
12. Live Free or Let Me Die is a song with a raw kind of power to it. It bluntly puts people as failures without God. It reminds that God is the one holding us up and giving us strength.
These are just my views of these songs. Everyone takes songs differently. But I think that this album is great for anybody. View All Music And Book Reviews By Jakodog92 | View Jakodog92's Profile
