Your Soul
Coasts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You let me go just to watch me discern
Just because it feels the same, 'til the morning comes
Even roads fill the sun so cold
Out on the ocean, that wild dark sea
You're the shark that's been lurking beneath
Fear has gripped me, where can I go?
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
Just because it's all the same, just a higher grade
You're washing over the iron gates
Just because our songs are known, bodies all around
I see the earth in your eyes on the brow
Ten thousand trees lie in wait for the fall
It's far too easy to ignore the call
Still gripped with fear before your eyes
Get mad, stare into the dark of the night
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
Crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
The crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
The lyrics to Coasts's song, Your Soul, speaks of the vulnerability of letting someone in and the fear that comes with it. The opening lines, "Just because we're not alone, you echo words you've heard," suggest that the singer is with someone, but they are not truly connected. Instead, the other person is simply saying things they've heard before, not expressing their true thoughts and feelings. The line, "You let me go just to watch me discern," implies that the other person is testing the singer, seeing if they will return to them. The singer, however, is afraid to fully commit, knowing that the road ahead may be difficult and uncertain.
The chorus, "Your soul won't hide your face, let me down for a second," speaks to the desire to see the other person's true self, to break past the surface level of their relationship. The singer wants a chance to understand the other person better, to rule the second and make the most of their time together. However, the fear remains, as evidenced by the line, "Still gripped with fear before your eyes, get mad, stare into the dark of the night."
Overall, Your Soul is a song about the complexities of relationships and the courage it takes to truly connect with another person. The lyrics suggest that there may be challenges along the way, but the rewards of authenticity and understanding are worth it in the end.
