Bliss (Kill Your Thoughts Edit)

"A mock-hymn to willful ignorance, where blindness is sold as happiness and thought itself becomes the enemy." “Bliss” is a mordant anti-hymn to willful ignorance and manufactured happiness. Coma Beach turns the soft rhetoric of comfort — “bliss,” “pink,” “happiness” — against itself, showing how surrendering thought becomes a social technology: a veil, a mechanism of control, and ultimately a form of moral and political amnesia. The lyric braids biblical darkness (blindness, veils), classical allegory (chains, prisoners), and modern critiques of mass culture (soma, spectacle) into a compact, venomous satire of consumer-political complacency. It’s angry, bitterly witty, and precise: the band don’t simply mourn ignorance — they map the machinery that produces it. "Bliss" is track #5 and - along with its soul-searching sibling "Passion" - the seventh single from our album "The Scapegoat's Agony" (1995) as well as track #2 from our EP "Passion/Bliss" (2025) and track #5 from our compilation "The Scapegoat's Agony (Edits, Odds & Ends)" (2026). The single/EP/compilation version is shorter than the album version. "Passion/Bliss" (2025) is the third and final 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.
