“The Coast” is based off of an old Inuit story called “A Promise Is A Promise” about a girl who gets grabbed through a frozen lake by monsters, called Qallupilluit who force her to live with them for the rest of her life. The story was told to Inuit children to teach them to be wary of thin ice.

The Coast Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Canadian cold, Canadian cheer
I couldn't spend another winter up here
In this desolate fishing town
Counting the months as they wear me down
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Watch over your flock
The cracks in the ice will swallow them up
The lake needs to eat just like all living things
And it's hungriest in the spring
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Now you know what's eatin' me
Takin' hold, it was draggin' me down
It was draggin' me down
[Verse 3]
The town is always on alert
In the spring, they patrol the coast, fearin' the worst
And no one can seem to accept the fact
The lake gives us life, and she takes it back
[Chorus]
Now you know what's eatin' me
Takin' hold, it was draggin' me
Down in the valley where they found the body
It was growing cold
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Now you know what's eatin' me
Takin' hold, it was draggin' me down
It was draggin' me down
[Bridge]
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know what's eatin' me
[Outro]
In the dawn, another girl had gone missing
Last anyone heard, she'd gone out to go fishing
The cracks in the lake make a mighty fine grave in the summer thaw

Her parents make her promise not to walk on the sea ice alone in the winter. But one day, she breaks that promise. These cra...
