“Coastline” is about B.o.B feeling trapped in his desire for materialistic things. He compares this to being stuck in a desert in search of a shore—in search for more meaning in his life.
“Coastline” is the seventh track from B.o.B’s Underground Luxury. Together with “Nobody Told Me”, it is one of...
[Verse 1]
Why do we all
Want all the things that we can't have at all?
Eyes to the sky
But where do you look when the sky starts to fall?
I look at my life
Wondering "how did I travel this far?"
Stuck in the sand
Lost in the desert, I'm trapped in the storm
[Bridge 1]
In search of a shore
Lost in the desert, I'm searching for more
In search of a shore
Trapped in the desert, still searching for more
In search of a shore
Lost in the desert, I'm trapped in the storm
I look at my life
Wondering "how did I travel this far?"
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm blind
By human desire, human design
Just a little bit further 'til I arrive
Or is it just a mirage fooling my mind?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
[Verse 2]
Why am I here
In the same club with my back to the wall?
Speeding through life
Just to end up running back to the start
Backward and forward
In every direction, disaster's in store
Like I'm stranded at sea
It feels like the end but I know that there's more
[Bridge 2]
Still I'm searching for shore
Stuck out at sea and I'm searching for more
In search of a shore
Stranded at sea but I'm searching for more
In search of a shore
Stuck out at sea and I'm trapped in a storm
I look at my life
Wondering "how did I travel this far?"
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm blind
By human desire, human design
Just a little bit further 'til I arrive
Or is it just a mirage fooling my mind?
How foolish am I?
[Verse 3]
Born under the view of the eye
The world can be ruthless, foolish and blind
Abracadabra, illusion and lies
Fed food to consume and influence the mind
Sacrificial executions disguised as
Shootings and crimes, the news televises
"Who pulls the strings? Who has the dice?"
Asking these questions, I lose track of time
So I ask: "How human am I?"
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm blind
By human desire, human design
Just a little bit further 'til I arrive
Or is it just a mirage fooling my mind?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
How foolish am I?
