Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got tings on the line but you know I ain't call 'em, yeah
And that's probably 'cause you was never really all in
And that's been the reason why I've been wylin'
I can't trust that silence
Young boy tryna get an island in Hawaii
Been goin' long don't try me
All these girls tryna look like Kylie
These days don't want nobody else
And these days I'm good all by myself
I remember sneakin' in your old house
But nowadays I just bring the hoes out
Was waitin' on you but gotta go now
Fast life, ain't no way to slow down
I ain't tryna flex but the wrist out
Where were you when I was in the worst drought?
All I ever do is make the hits now
You ain't gotta tell me what it is now
These days don't want nobody else
And these days I'm good all by myself
These girls all wanna dig in my pocket
Bet they wouldn't be around if I had it then lost it
And chasin' you 'round got me so exhausted
And you were always the girl I wanted
Got a new bitch don't watch it
Said I never put time in
I was doin' it for us, I was grindin'
You got curves like a road that's windin'
But crazy is all you drive me
These days don't want nobody else
And these days I'm good all by myself
I remember sneakin' in your old house
But nowadays I just bring the hoes out
Was waitin' on you but gotta go now
Fast life, ain't no way to slow down
I ain't tryna flex but the wrist out
Where were you when I was in the worst drought?
All I ever do is make the hits now
You ain't gotta tell me what it is now
These days don't want nobody else
And these days I'm good all by myself
They playin' this game
So stuck in your ways
You took it for granted
I'm tryna be saved
What we had vanished
'Cause you gave it away
At the end of the day
There's nothin' to say
I remember sneakin' in your old house
But nowadays I just bring the hoes out
Was waitin' on you but gotta go now
Fast life, ain't no way to slow down
I ain't tryna flex but the wrist out
Where were you when I was in the worst drought?
All I ever do is make the hits now
You ain't gotta tell me what it is now
These days don't want nobody else
And these days I'm good all by myself, yeah
Preme's song "Coastline" is about a past relationship that has ended due to one person not being fully committed. The lyrics suggest that the singer had given his all to the relationship, while the other person had not, leading to their separation. The singer expresses his frustration with the lack of communication and commitment in the relationship. Despite his efforts, the relationship ended, and the singer has moved on, enjoying his newfound freedom and independence.
The opening lines of the song, "I just can't figure out your problem, Got tings on the line but you know I ain't call 'em, yeah" suggest that there were underlying issues in the relationship that were never fully addressed. The singer feels that he gave the relationship his all, but the other person was never fully committed, leading to a breakdown in their communication and eventual separation. The line "All these girls tryna look like Kylie, You should've stuck right by me" suggests that the other person was more interested in superficial things, like appearance, rather than building a meaningful relationship.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on his past with the other person. He remembers sneaking into their old house and waiting for them, but now, he enjoys his freedom and brings other people around. The lyrics, "Fast life, ain't no way to slow down, I ain't tryna flex but the wrist out, Where were you when I was in the worst drought?" suggest that the singer has moved on to a more fast-paced lifestyle, successful and confident in his career, while the other person was not there for him during his struggles. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that the other person was someone he wanted to be with, but their lack of commitment ultimately led to the end of the relationship.
Overall, "Coastline" by Preme is a reflection on a past relationship that ended due to one person's lack of commitment. The singer expresses his frustration with the lack of communication in the relationship but also acknowledges that he has moved on and is enjoying his newfound independence.

I just can't figure out your problem
I can't understand what's wrong with you
Got tings on the line but you know I ain't call 'em, yeah
I have other things going on, but I'm not interested in calling you
And that's probably 'cause you was never really all in
You were never fully committed to me
And that's been the reason why I've been wylin'
That's why I've been acting crazy
I can't trust that silence
I can't trust your silence or lack of communication
Young boy tryna get an island in Hawaii
I'm a young guy trying to live the high life
Been goin' long don't try me
I've been dealing with this for a long time, so don't test me
All these girls tryna look like Kylie
So many girls try to look like Kylie Jenner
You shoulda stuck right by me
You should have stayed by my side
These days don't want nobody else
I don't want anyone else these days
And these days I'm good all by myself
I'm happy being alone these days
I remember sneakin' in your old house
I remember sneaking into your old house
But nowadays I just bring the hoes out
But now I just bring girls over
Was waitin' on you but gotta go now
I used to wait for you, but not anymore
Fast life, ain't no way to slow down
My life is fast-paced and I can't slow down
I ain't tryna flex but the wrist out
I'm not trying to show off, but my watch is visible
Where were you when I was in the worst drought?
Where were you when I was struggling?
All I ever do is make the hits now
All I do now is make successful music
You ain't gotta tell me what it is now
You don't need to explain anything to me now
These girls all wanna dig in my pocket
These girls all want my money
Bet they wouldn't be around if I had it then lost it
They wouldn't stick around if I lost all my money
And chasin' you 'round got me so exhausted
Chasing you around has tired me out
And you were always the girl I wanted
You were always the girl I wanted
Got a new bitch don't watch it
I have a new girl, don't worry about it
Said I never put time in
You said I never put in enough effort
I was doin' it for us, I was grindin'
I was working hard for both of us
You got curves like a road that's windin'
You have a curvy figure
But crazy is all you drive me
But all you do is drive me crazy
They playin' this game
They're playing this game
So stuck in your ways
You're set in your ways
You took it for granted
You didn't appreciate it
I'm tryna be saved
I'm trying to be saved
What we had vanished
What we had disappeared
'Cause you gave it away
Because you gave it away
At the end of the day
In the end
There's nothin' to say
There's nothing left to say
These days don't want nobody else
I don't want anyone else these days
And these days I'm good all by myself, yeah
I'm happy being alone these days
