Written in reflection upon his coma (following a knee operation, which went wrong), Homme touches upon dark themes such as depression and melancholic longing in a song, which renders the listener empathetic to his situation with well written metaphors.

[Verse 1]
Calling all comas
Prisoner on the loose; description
The spitting image of me
Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out
[Chorus]
Shock me awake and tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Prisoner of sleep, deeper down
The rabbit hole, never to be found
Again, mmm-ah
(Ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone; feelings
Raw and exposed when I'm out of control
Pieces were stolen from me
Or dare I say, given away
Watching the water give in as I go down the drain
I appear missing now
[Pre-Chorus]
I go missing, no longer exist
One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss
[Chorus]
Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper asleep, further down
The rabbit hole, never to be found
[Post-Chorus]
It's only fallin' in love because you hit the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Dancin' on wire, both ends are on fire
Cut me loose
Nowhere to run, no more room to pretend
Wandering along the road in the summer night
[Pre-Chorus]
I go missing, no longer exist
One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss
[Chorus]
Shock me awake, tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
The deeper asleep, the further down
The rabbit hole never to be found
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
(Confide) With my toes on the edge, it's such a lovely view
(Don't cry) I never loved anything until I loved you
(Inside) I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(But shine) I haven't a thing unless I have you
(Confide) With my toes on the edge, it's such a lovely view
(Don't cry) I never loved anything until I loved you
(Inside) I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(But shine) I've fallen through
