Coast
Future Generations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking through the cloud line
On the hot plains in summertime.
So jump another way.
We′re both too aquainted to be polite,
Too adjusted to pick a side.
But you're going your own way.
It sparkles and it shines,
And if true love is blind, can we ever be too close?
Coast,
And I don′t wanna loose you to the coast.
Coast,
And I don't wanna loose you, I don't wanna loose you to the coast.
Straight lines,
Don′t rock the boat now, smooth ride.
We′re still here and we're both fine,
So let′s keep it that way.
New Light,
I hear your romanticise,
The future, I'm paralysed
There will come a day.
It sparkles and it shines,
But is it made of gold?
And if true love is blind, can we ever be too close?
Coast,
′Cause I don't wanna loose you to the coast.
Coast,
′Cause I don't wanna loose you, I don't wanna loose you to the coast.
That coast is calling your name,
I don′t hear a sound.
That coast is calling your name,
I don′t hear a sound.
That coast is calling your name,
I don't hear a sound.
That coast is calling your name,
I don′t hear a sound.
The lyrics of Future Generations's song "Coast" seem to depict a relationship that is on the brink of change or separation. The opening lines refer to sunlight breaking through the clouds, symbolizing a flicker of hope or clarity in a situation. The mention of the hot plains in summertime adds to the imagery of intensity and discomfort. The phrase "jump another way" suggests that both individuals in the relationship have reached a crossroads and need to make a decision. They are portrayed as too familiar and adjusted to one another to be polite or take sides, indicating a level of familiarity and comfort between them.
The question of whether something sparkles and shines, but is it made of gold, can be seen as a metaphor for the allure of a new path or possibility in the relationship. The mention of true love being blind raises the question of whether it is possible for them to be too close or intimately connected. This brings up themes of fear, hesitation, and finding a balance between independence and closeness.
Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the line "Coast, and I don't wanna lose you to the coast." Here, the coast represents a metaphorical destination, perhaps symbolizing a place where one person in the relationship wants to escape to or start anew. The repetition emphasizes the fear of losing the connection and the desire to maintain the relationship.
Overall, "Coast" explores themes of uncertainty, self-discovery, and the challenges faced in maintaining a relationship. It delves into the complexities of navigating change and the fear of losing someone to the unknown.
Line by Line Meaning
Sunlight,
The light from the sun is illuminating
Breaking through the cloud line
Penetrating through the layer of clouds
On the hot plains in summertime.
In the scorching summer weather on the flat, open land
So jump another way.
Taking a different, unconventional approach
We're both too acquainted to be polite,
We know each other too well to maintain formalities
Too adjusted to pick a side.
Too adapted to our circumstances to make a decision
But you're going your own way.
You're choosing a path independent of others
It sparkles and it shines,
It appears attractive and captivating
But is it made of gold?
Is it truly valuable and worthwhile?
And if true love is blind, can we ever be too close?
If love is blind, can we be too intimately connected?
Coast,
The shoreline or seashore
And I don't wanna lose you to the coast.
I don't want to lose you to the allure of a different life or place
Straight lines,
Direct and predictable paths
Don't rock the boat now, smooth ride.
Don't cause trouble or disturbance, let things go smoothly
We're still here and we're both fine,
We're still together and doing well
So let's keep it that way.
Let's maintain our current situation
New Light,
A different perspective or understanding
I hear your romanticize,
I hear your idealistic thoughts or interpretations
The future, I'm paralyzed
I'm unable to move forward or make decisions regarding the future
There will come a day.
At some point in the future, a change will occur
That coast is calling your name,
You're being drawn towards a different place or lifestyle
I don't hear a sound.
I can't hear any indication of your intentions or desires
