About This Track

'Coastlines' by Wallows is an alternative track from the album 'Remote - EP', released in 2020. The lyrics are tense and resistant, with a narrator urging someone to listen to “them” at the door and reject familiar excuses. There is also a darker, self-questioning streak, as the song stares at images until it feels like seeing is no longer clear, then asks whether words truly match what someone thinks. The repeated door-knocking refrain keeps the focus on pressure from outside and a determination not to be taken away.

"Coastlines" is a track by Wallows, from the album Remote - EP, released 22nd October 2020. The track is 3:09 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Wallows.

Lyrics

Coastlines

Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Can't let them take us away no more
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Same excuses that we've heard before
Stare at pictures of you 'til I'm blind
Do your words make up what's on your mind?
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
I don't wanna think about it
If I'm the only thing on your mind
I don't wanna think about it
If I'm really wastin' all of your time
I don't wanna think about it
When we're on different coastlines
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't mean to be dramatic
I don't wanna think about it, about it
Shut the door and we can lock them out
Things look different when you're not around
Too embarrassed to admit I've cried
Sort of hope it's that way on your side
I don't wanna think about it
If I'm the only thing on your mind
I don't wanna think about it
If I'm really wastin' all of your time
I don't wanna think about it
When we're on different coastlines
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
We can hear them knocking at our door
Won't let them take us away no more
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't mean to be dramatic
I don't wanna think about it, about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't mean to be dramatic
I don't wanna think about it, about it
