Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Then I definitely recommend listening to their album The Question. Most of my favorite Emery lyrics are from that one. It's really a work of art musically and lyrically.

PANCAKEMINEZZ

Alright, that clears up the song ALOT for me. I just started listening to the band and I'm more used to listening to songs where the message in the song is more clear. Still, I like the band and their music is really great.

Sean Creedon

However I think the genius in a lot of Emery's lyrics are the multiple meanings of certain things. You could also take the whole coast thing literally, as something that the narrator really wanted to do but never did and now on the threshold of suicide he regrets not being able to do that. So at the end, he says to those who feel lost and hopeless that it'll get better, and you should take advantage of being alive and do all those little things you've ever wanted to do (like see the west coast).

Sean Creedon

Basically, the song is a description of "those thoughts in the middle of the night," from debating suicide to trying to find out who you really are. The end of the song though is hopeful in saying that when you feel this way you're never alone, and that while it may feel like you'll never see the "west coast," together with those who love you and feel the same as you, "we" (meaning the singer and everyone who's ever felt that way) are eventually going to see the other, brighter side of it all.

PANCAKEMINEZZ

Thanks! So what the singer is saying is that he never got to see his new life or happier times? But in the end he tells those who are going through the same he is going through that they still have a chance to see their "west coast"?

Sean Creedon

I believe it stems from the idea of Horace Greeley's quote, "Go West, young man" which was popularized during Manifest Destiny when America was expanding west. Half of the continent was an unexplored area, a chance for a new life, new opportunities, something mysterious and we had this insatiable need to discover every distant corner. You could leave your life behind and just go west. So in relation to the song, the narrator fails to achieve this hope for a new life and rebirth, metaphorically.

PANCAKEMINEZZ

Would someone explain to me what the meaning of "West Coast" is? I know it's not literal, but it still kind of eludes me to the meanign of it.

Bruce Vanoven

a year ago a coworker ended his life. This song really spoke to me. Over the last year I had the opportunity to visit the west coast. I never had the opportunity, & this was a fluke. I stood on the coast observing the beauty and it reminded me that my world is bigger than my problems. Miss you Captain... Wish we would have known what was up. We cared for you like a brother.
