Genre: Experimental Hip hop

Producing Credits: Thom Bridges

Writing/Composing Credits: Kareen Lomax, Thom Bridges, Yeonjun, "hitman" bang

ABOUT/MEANING: ‘Coma’ stands as the culmination of NO LABELS: PART 01, a vivid expression of Yeonjun’s complete self-possession and command of his artistry. Lyrically the track unfolds like a journey - beginning in a hazy, state where noise and ambition blur together, reflecting the chaos of the world around him. Gradually, that stillness gives way to awakening; the haze clears, and his focus sharpens as he regains control. By the time the song reaches its climax, he emerges with unshakable confidence, stepping back into his power as though returning to the stage itself. The “coma” becomes a metaphor for total immersion: a deep creative trance in which he loses himself only to rise stronger and more deliberate. Within the album, Coma synthesizes the qualities explored in earlier tracks into one commanding statement: Yeonjun, confident and unapologetic, moving through confusion and noise to assert complete control over his world.

LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translation credits: @translatingTXT)

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'


X's and O's and all them No's

So many posers in this scene

Just ignore them, block it out

That noisy noise, I'm in deep sleep


Why you mad? Man, why you pressed?

My GGUM you chewed up

EXPLANATION/SELF REFERENCE: The word for chew in Korean also means 'to belittle someone/something', or 'to deliberately pick at or publicly criticize someone else's words or actions. So this line also means: "My GGUM [Yeonjun's first solo mixtape] that you were belittling." In Korean, “to chew” (씹다) has a double meaning - it literally means to chew something, but it’s also slang for belittling, bad-mouthing, or harshly criticizing someone. The line is a self-reference to his first solo track, GGUM (꿈), which plays on the Korean word for dream - so Yeonjun is saying “My GGUM (my dream / my solo song) that you chewed up or criticized.” The line acknowledges those who harshly criticized GGUM, with many hoping he'd gone a different route for his first solo track. By bringing it into Coma, Yeonjun reclaims that energy - showing that even when others tried to undermine his dream, he stayed true to himself, fully embracing the message of the album: creating and moving through the world on his own terms.

Spit it out, back in the new game

Before I wake up, I gotta say


Hits like coma

No one can call out

Full of chaos

Even amidst that, I don't stop


Beat, I'm on that

With that tight stuff

Till the coda

EXPLANATION: In music, a coda is the ending section of a piece. Here, Yeonjun uses it metaphorically: he’s saying you’re stuck in his zone until the piece ends - until the very end of time - and that he will keep going uninterrupted. It’s both a warning to others to follow his rhythm authentically and a declaration to himself that he will stay fully in control, no matter what.

This shit like coma


You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

(This shit like coma)


You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

(This shit like coma)


Weightless, my vocal tone

Up and above that noisy noise

Exhaling in the dark

Follow the light, step up


Knock, wake that sleepy brain up

Followed by a headache

Still I go, no medic

Cut that, I'm on it (Feel that)


Hits like coma

No one can call out

Full of chaos

Even amidst that, I don't stop


Beat, I'm on that

With that tight stuff

Till the coda

This shit like coma, coma, coma, coma...

This shit like coma


Again, on the stage I hop in

Burn that vibe poppin

Again I proved it, who can stop me?

Can you feel it, yeah this shit like coma


Again on the stage

Burn that vibe poppin'

Fed this scene a new topic

Eyes on me, all them


On the stage, I hop in

Burn that vibe poppin'

Fed this scene a new topic

Eyes on me, yeah this shit like coma


You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'

You're in my zone, come and follow

Pupils wide and floatin'
