comabeach.bandcamp.com

Coma Beach is a punk rock/alternative rock band from Würzburg, Germany. The band was formed in 1993 by singer B. Kafka, guitarist Captain A. Fear and drummer M. Lecter, with bassist U. Terror and rhythm guitarist M. Blunt completing the lineup. Coma Beach's musical influences range from Sex Pistols, Ramones, Hüsker Dü, Joy Division, The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain to Guns N' Roses, Therapy? and Bad Religion, with their songs frequently straddling the line between punk rock and alternative rock. The band's English lyrics draw on numerous themes and motifs from various authors, such as the existentialist view of the world's utter meaninglessness, as portrayed in Samuel Beckett's plays and novels; the satirical-sarcastic approach to the absurdities of human existence, as employed in Douglas Adams's narratives; the often tragic and – not infrequently – self-inflicted conflicts that countless characters have to suffer through in William Shakespeare's plays; or Arthur Schopenhauer's system of a radical metaphysical pessimism.

Jesus' Tears (Crimson Stain Edit)

Coma Beach

"A crucifixion hallucination, a cry for vengeance, and a vision of divine sorrow." “Jesus’ Tears” is a brutal, theologically charged nightmare that upends familiar Passion imagery: the speaker who is crucified “next to Jesus Christ” is not a saintly bystander, but a defiant, wounded narrator whose suffering becomes the seed of a promised spiritual vengeance. The lyric folds Gospel scenes, Marian sorrow, apocryphal angelics, and Gothic revenant lore into a short, violent parable about sacrificial violence, communal guilt, and the moral ambiguity of revenge. Musically, the song’s refrain — “My mad life was punished / But my spirit will take revenge” — operates like a warped liturgy: equal parts confession, accusation, and vow. "Jesus' Tears" is track #7 and the first single from our album "The Scapegoat's Agony" (1995) as well as track #5 from our EP "A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending" (2024) and track #7 from our compilation "The Scapegoat's Agony (Edits, Odds & Ends)" (2026). The EP/compilation version - a radio edit - is shorter than the album/single version. "A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending" (2024) is the second installment in our "Scapegoat Revisited" EP triptych celebrating the 30th anniversary of our debut album "The Scapegoat's Agony" (1995). The album title is an allusion to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and points towards the - for the most part - painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.

Nothing Right (Character In A Play Edit)

Coma Beach

"A confession, a trial, and a self‑execution — all in just over three minutes." “Nothing Right” is a raw, confessional interrogation: a speaker pacing the ruins of a life, alternately pleading for absolution and accusing themselves of irredeemable crime. The lyric moves between everyday idioms and stark moral images — “hit the nail on the head” beside “why I’m a murderer” — so that ordinary failure and existential culpability become interchangeable. It’s simultaneously a catalogue of regrets, a philosophical demand for meaning (life, forgiveness, death), and a dramatization of self-judgment that reads like a modern-day lament stitched to the lineage of Biblical confession, tragic literature and existential novels. "Nothing Right" is track #2 and the second single from our album "The Scapegoat's Agony" (1995) as well as track #2 from our compilation "The Scapegoat's Agony (Edits, Odds & Ends)". The compilation edit is shorter than the album/single version. The album title is an allusion to the play "Waiting for Godot" by Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett and points towards the - for the most part - painful and excruciating emotional odyssey of the unnamed antihero.
