The Coast
Lost Souls on the Coastal Journey
Lyrics
She screamed aloud
She expressed her distress loudly
Where had life gone
Questioning the meaning and purpose of life
Packed here bags
Packed her belongings
And set out for it
Embarked on a journey to find it
She'd taken her life down the coast
Took her life in a different direction, perhaps seeking change
To taste the dreams of every teen
Exploring the aspirations and fantasies of youth
Soon enough she got lost in it
Became immersed or overwhelmed by the experience
Sometimes this town can't be won
Expressing the difficulty of prevailing in the town
Sometimes you can't go home
Highlighting the impossibility of returning to a familiar place
He had breezed along
He moved through life effortlessly
He'd always won
Consistently successful in his endeavors
Sure enough he could make it there
Confident in his ability to reach a destination
He'd taken his life down the coast
Took a different path in life
He chased the lines
Pursued certain experiences or goals
He chased the boys
Chased after excitement and connections
Oh you know he got lost in it
Became entangled or consumed by the journey
Sometimes this town can't be won
Emphasizing the challenging nature of the town
Sometimes it drowns its young
Referring to the town as potentially destructive for the young
They'd taken their lives down the coast
They chose a similar path in life
They'd taken their lives down the coast
Reiteration of their shared journey
Now they're gone
They are no longer present
Can't go home
Unable to return to their previous lives
Down the coast
Repetition of the journey down the coast and the inability to return home
Down the coast
-Down the coast
-Can't go home
-Can't go home
Reiterating the impossibility of returning to their previous lives
