Genre: Experimental Hip hop

Producing Credits: Thom Bridges

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

ABOUT/MEANING: 'Coma' closes the album in a state of total immersion. It begins hazy - noise, ambition, and outside chaos blurring together - before gradually sharpening into something more focused and deliberate. The "coma" isn't darkness or shutdown; it's the opposite - a deep creative state where everything external falls away and only the music remains. He loses himself in it, only to emerge sharper and more in control than before. For Yeonjun, ending here feels right. The album begins with presence and self-assertion, and closes with him back on stage, fully in his element, completely untouchable.

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'
