Pacific Coast Highway (with Trevor Hall)

Pacific Coast Highway
The Hip Abduction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

Yeah I left my soul

I Left the lights of Lc
to where the angels long escaped

maybe under redwoods they play
or along the humbolt shore
i wanna find that place

I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

Yeah I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

Gonna let the stars be my guide
Had to leave my worries all behind
Loving how the ocean meets the sky
Wishing you could see this frame of mind
cll of them been asking where'd you go
If you never been then you'll never know
I'm forever following the golden coast
Hoping that i'll see you down the road

I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

Yeah I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

warm embrace of the mist
brings comfort like a kiss
wander through the untouched
a smile to my new friends

walking on stones of jade
ill never leave a trace
hope these memories never fade

I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway

Yeah I left my soul
On the pacific coast highway


Overall Meaning

The Hip Abduction's song Pacific Coast Highway is a tribute to the beauty and freedom of traveling along the California coastline. The lyrics speak of leaving behind the stress and chaos of Los Angeles and embarking on a journey to find inner peace and a place where the soul can thrive. The first verse suggests that the soul has been lost amidst the artificial lights and glamour of LA, and can perhaps be found again among the natural beauty and vastness of the coast. The second verse speaks of being guided by the stars and leaving behind all worries in order to fully embrace the moment. The chorus repeats the idea of leaving the soul on the highway, emphasizing the transformative power of the journey.


The bridge of the song describes the sensory experience of wandering through untouched nature, feeling the warmth of the mist and the coolness of the jade stones underfoot. The lyrics suggest a reverence for the environment and a desire to leave no trace behind, while also embracing the joy of making new connections with fellow travelers. The final chorus repeats the refrain, leaving the listener with the sense that the journey is ongoing and the destination is beside the point.

The fog's warm hug

It provides comfort, like a kiss

Roaming through pristine, unblemished places


a smile to my new friends
Greeting my newfound acquaintances with a smile


walking on stones of jade
Strolling on green jade stones


ill never leave a trace
I will not leave a mark on the environment or the path


hope these memories never fade
I wish for these memories to endure forever
