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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
I left my soul
I departured with a part of myself
On the pacific coast highway
On a path that runs along the coast of the Pacific Ocean
Yeah I left my soul
I'm reiterating that I left a part of myself
I Left the lights of LA
I left the bright city lights of Los Angeles
to where the angels long escaped
To a place where angels have been for a while
maybe under redwoods they play
Perhaps they're playing underneath the redwood trees
or along the humbolt shore
Or maybe near the Humboldt Bay shoreline
i wanna find that place
I have a desire to discover that location
Gonna let the stars be my guide
I am going to follow the stars as my direction
Had to leave my worries all behind
I left all my concerns and fears in the past
Loving how the ocean meets the sky
I am fond of the horizon where the ocean and the sky meet
Wishing you could see this frame of mind
I wish you could comprehend what's going on in my head
All of them been asking where'd you go
Everyone has been asking me where I disappeared to
If you never been then you'll never know
If you haven't gone there, you cannot understand
I'm forever following the golden coast
I'm constantly pursuing this coastal path
Hoping that i'll see you down the road
I anticipate that we'll meet eventually
warm embrace of the mist
The fog's warm hug
brings comfort like a kiss
It provides comfort, like a kiss
wander through the untouched
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
