B.o.B - Coastline Lyrics






[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
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

[Hook]
Maybe I'm blind by human desire or human design
Just a little bit further 'til I arrive
Or is it just a mirage fooling my mind
How foolish am I [x3]

[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
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

[Hook]

[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 dots?
Asking these questions I lose track of time
So I ask, how human am I?

[Hook]

    LOVE THIS !!!

  17. K.... C....

    AMO ESSA MÚSICA. 
    AMO MUITO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    <3

  18. E.... ....

    Can everyone that is reading this comment spread the word about this song? Please. This is the type of music we need in our lives.

  19. E.... A....

    I like these types of music he makes but this doesn't sell much, so when he starts rapping about BS again, you can't blame him. He needs money too, other wise he'd be an underground rapper (Ignoring the mixtape name)

  20. X.... N....

    I sang this song 🎶 before for one particular reason 😔

  21. F.... C....

    This is the most under rated song on the record

  22. T.... ....

    Epic song

  23. R.... ....

    such an underrated song 

  24. D.... N....

    B.o.B turned into a possession-craving rapper he always said he wouldn’t be. :( 

    D.... N....

    no he just made this album for the strip club he even said in countless interviews

    D.... N....

    Plus, why choose this song? Coastline is one song that proves your statement wrong easily lol. 

    D.... N....

    @Densha X exactly
     

  25. M.... ....

    CLIP!!!!

  26. V.... ....

    'why do we all want all the things that we can't have at all'?
     'stucked in the sand, lost in the desert, i'm trapped in this storme'
    'in sarch of a shore, lost in the desert i'm searching for more'
    'maybe i'm blind by human desires, human design' if this is not deep then idk man. You can interprete it the way you want but to me all these metaphores sybmolize today's society, wanting everything and losing themselves very fast by looking for things that seem to make you happy but in the end you realize luxury does not make you happy. You lose yourself in it, if this is the onlything you crave for.
    also it's generally about life... it could stand for so much and it's exactly what makes me love it so much. goooood track and even better lyrics.

  27. M.... ....

    the album under sold for the bobby ray fans over the b.o.b fans we had a chance to show this type of music from him would make money and we failed now when b.o.b takes over we have no one to blame 

    M.... ....

    @auspiciousz foolz us bobby ray fans are to blame for this album not selling bob fans at least pay the bill for him

    M.... ....

    @auspiciousz foolz  they like what they like you have no right to force them to just blindly buy it just cause you like it so then who is next to buy and make the album sell us bobby ray fan we weren't enough so fuck it 

    M.... ....

    @auspiciousz foolz were ? did i say that and my spelling means nothing if you get the point words are just made up shit anyway 

    M.... ....

    The kid is talented, period.  
    The B.o.B shit is as dope as the Bobby Ray stuff if not moreso
    Also, as a Jekyll/Hyde type myself, alter-egos tend to mirror the concept of yin and yang- the B.o.B sound shines through on "Bobby Ray" tracks and Bobby Ray shines through on the "B.o.B" tracks
    Quit whining and enjoy the jams.  This guy isn't going away any time soon.

    M.... ....

    @auspiciousz foolz one it's all made up words anyway and two just cause my grammar isn't good doesn't mean my point isn't true so if you not here to argue the point go away 

  28. D.... M....

    Story of my life

  29. s.... ....

    I am on a Bobby Ray marathon.. I'm still in this b****!

  30. F.... S....

    You'll probably never read this but this type of music of yours is what got me hooked as well as my friends so much power in the sound quit with the headband bullshit sing about what got you here

    F.... S....

    You act like there are 10 Headbands songs in the album

  31. E.... V....

    thIS SONG NEEDS MORE VIEWS

  32. D.... ....

    I like the style of this song.

  33. N.... R....

    Real music.

  34. K.... L....

    "Or is it just a mirage fooling my mind? How foolish am I?"

  35. S.... ....

    Amazing song!

  36. N.... A....

    Best rap album of the year in my opinion. Its been a while since a rapper dropped an album that has more than 2 good songs on it. This hole album is fire.

  37. B.... L....

    Been jammin' to this in my car for a week now, goin' ham Bobby. 

  38. C.... S....

    The song is speaking directly to me! I saw B.o.B in concert last week and he was incredible. Fan For Life

  39. C.... C....

    Where do you look when the sky starts to fall?

  40. S.... ....

    The bridge tho whooooaaaaa.....someone "eyes" are open....nice song 

  41. D.... L....

    My favorite song

    D.... L....

  42. M.... M....

    I like @B.o.B s Music but this song is just #amazing  

  43. X.... N....

    He is sold out he puts up the sign in some of his vids and u can't say he doesn't know it's a vid on YouTube about it

  44. A.... M....

    Black Ink Crew brought me here

  45. B.... A....

    I love it ! <3   Is my favourite song!

  46. N.... S....

    I like how B.o.B was like "fuck other rappers. Imma make my new album inspiring"

  47. H.... a....

    Always have loved him but i love where his music is going now. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time

  48. T.... B....

    Man, people on the outside of the music industry kill me when they act like they know the who, what, when, where, and why of things. Like all of his albums, B.o.B. has a little something for everyone; booty shakin shit, narcissistic shit, inspirational shit, thuggish shit, etc. All good artists know you gotta be multi-dimensional to have real success.

  49. m.... ....

    love this song

  50. S.... B....

    6/10 for this album , 1 of the bests from 2013 , but still Knock Madness is better ;d

  51. J.... S....

    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 dots?
    Asking these questions I lose track of time
    So I ask, how human am I?

  52. D.... ....

    best song on tha album (Y)

  53. M.... P....

    Best album of 2013

  54. J.... M....

    how have I not heard about this album? :|

  55. B.... V....

    Reminds me of Just A Sign off of Strange Clouds. Introspective, wide-angle view of life. Very artistic and original.

    Maybe I'm blind, by human desire, human design.
    Just a little bit further till I arrive.

  56. P.... ....

    How the HELL do people like things like headband better than this. This “real” BOB music is just friken AMAZING. 

  57. M.... Y....

    This my song

  58. B.... H....

    awesome b.o.b.

  59. D.... ....

    If y'all like this one then check out Paper Route. Another real song that won't ever receive the same attention as that terrible Headbandz junk.

  60. A.... ....

    This should get as many views as headband

  61. D.... C....

    And you said he sold out

    D.... C....

    I just don't know how I haven't heard of this album being released.  I'm usually all over his stuff.

    D.... C....

    @Kazorus It's because he wouldn't sell out. And he's signed by Atlantic, the absolute worst label for promotion.

    D.... C....

    @Kazorus lol

  62. J.... P....

    My friend told me to listen to this song on his phone. Got hooked right away. I raped his replay button.

  63. K.... S....

    He needs to make more music like this again. He's good now but when he was making more music like this he was so much better.

    K.... S....

    This album just dropped chill homie.

    K.... S....

    Well, you can't just make the same type of music all the time. B.o.B is way too creative for that! I agree that this does have more quality lyrically but people make music depending on how they feel, sometimes he feels real and deep and sometimes he feels hyped and raw. I dig headbands it has a good vibe for the right time (without 2 chainz) but i also dig this and his older stuff like generation lost.

  64. C.... F....

    B.O.B is my favorite because of sounds like these

  65. T.... ....

    Nice!!!

  66. J.... Y....

    This song so good:-)
    B.o.B love u

  67. J.... Y....

    This song so good:-)

  73. G.... C....

  74. P.... ....

    Best one on the album

  75. D.... C....

    best song on the album

  78. F.... H....

    I ain't gon' lie I'd try coastline to coastline to support B.o.B

  79. P.... F....

    Love this vibe! Has me dancing the whole time! Excellent!

  80. l.... ....

    Is a remix of this with cudi to much to ask for

    l.... ....

    Yes, Kid Cud and Childish Gambino all three should collaborate

  81. T.... ....

    All I want is terrible and so is ready but all of his other stuff is great on this album

  82. M.... M....

    Becoming more and more of a legend ❤️

  83. h.... ....

    Unbelievable that this is the same artist who made Headband.

  84. R.... D....

    I must say I have been following B.o.B for a min and I loved every song thus far. Inspiration is what has become of my journey through the music I hear from him. Keep your head up. I can imagine that the life you live isn't easy.
    One Love
    From one artist to another.
