Synopsis
A lone young man drifts through a hazy, dreamlike world that seems to exist somewhere between sleep and waking. Ordinary spaces, isolated figures, and unsettling flashes of imagery create the feeling of a nightmare that never fully resolves. The video follows his disconnected movements rather than a conventional storyline, mirroring the song's brief meditation on mental isolation, frightened thoughts, and the strange calm of feeling "blissed out" inside one's own head.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Blissed" appears on Coma Cinema's album "Stoned Alone," which was released on June 1, 2010. The track runs for less than two minutes.
- The video's Vimeo presentation identifies Tyler T. Williams and describes the clip as a music video for "Blissed" from "Stoned Alone."
- Brandon C. Waite appears in the video. It marked one of his earliest screen appearances, and he also featured in Coma Cinema's later video for "Blue Suicide."
- Mat Cothran said that Williams contacted him about making a video for one of his songs. Cothran was impressed by the result and described Williams as an important part of Coma Cinema's artistic identity.
- The song's lyrics are extremely concise, repeating images of a "trippy nightmare," an island-like mind, and frightened light. The video's loose, surreal approach reflects that compressed and unsettled writing rather than attempting to illustrate every line literally.
- "Blissed" was one of several Coma Cinema videos associated with the early period around "Stoned Alone" and the band's South Carolina bedroom-pop aesthetic.
