A coastline or seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean. A precise line that can be called a coastline cannot be determined due to the dynamic nature of tides. The term "coastal zone" can be used instead, which is a spatial zone where interaction of the sea and land processes occurs. Both the terms coast and coastal are often used to describe a geographic location or region; for example, New Zealand's West Coast, or the East and West Coasts of the United States.
A pelagic coast refers to a coast which fronts the open ocean, as opposed to a more sheltered coast in a gulf or bay. A shore, on the other hand, can refer to parts of the land which adjoin any large body of water, including oceans (sea shore) and lakes (lake shore). Similarly, the somewhat related term "bank" refers to the land alongside or sloping down to a river (riverbank) or to a body of water smaller than a lake. "Bank" is also used in some parts of the world to refer to an artificial ridge of earth intended to retain the water of a river or pond. In other places this may be called a levee.
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1986), better known by her stage name Lana Del Rey, is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in upstate New York, Del Rey moved to New York City at age eighteen, where she attended college and began writing music and performing in clubs.
In 2008, Del Rey contracted with an independent label and recorded a self-titled debut album which was briefly available on iTunes in 2010; Del Rey ultimately bought back the rights to the album and it was withdrawn soon after.
In June 2011, she released the song "Video Games" on the Internet, accompanied by a self-made music video that went viral in the following months. The song was later released as a single in October, leading up to Del Rey's major-label debut album, Born to Die, which was released on January 31, 2012 through Interscope Records. Born to Die debuted at number one in seven countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. The album has spawned two worldwide top 10 hits: "Video Games" and "Born to Die".
Leave my house
Leave the troubles at the door
I need the coast of the East of England
He says "we're all going one day
Why cling on?"
I think that he and I will be saved
I want to see the electricity
On the masts of the ships
As the storm builds
Lighthouse beams
I know where I am
By counting the flashes
Years ago I read that there were
Ghosts here
I want to see the electricity
On the masts of the ships
You are the string in my bow.
Biblical Mary to Joe.
The North isn't True 'til it's leading me to you.
You are the way that I know.
Under the weight of belief
you shiver and shake like a leaf.
But death is a force, not a man on a horse:
I'll keep you safe while you sleep.
The way it goes, is the way it goes.
I'm all right to go
So go...
...you go.
They took their things and headed for the coast
Denied of all in life they needed most
Loves forgotten child
born into the wild
Come to the coast, come to the coast, come to the coast
come to the coast it will find you...
The fallout from the California glow
Toronto's frozen over this every man should know
I've forgotten now
Won't you show me how?
Come.
So run away, so run away from here.
Just run away, just run away my dear...
'Cause love's forgotten child...
So go into the wild
...Come.
I remember something about beautyAnd the resilience of
It's raining on the edge of sunset
It's lifting up this little boy
Ideas bigger than my mind
These images are left behind
Towers tall against a blank sky
I feel them all of the time
Sunlight on my face
I found a reason today
Open your eyes
Continuous moment
A moment continues in time
Oh, that's love
I've always doubted
But I've never been wrong
If I can't love you, honey
Then I can't love anyone
Sunlight on my face
I found a reason today
Open your eyes
I'm leaving the city
To find life in the sun
I haven't been sleeping
i looked out on the lake todaythe waves were blowing high
high enough to carry me away
and take me out of sight
outside, outside
these things that we can't recognize
i've tried, i've tried
but maybe it's not for me to say goodbye
goodbye
take a walk
out to the edge of the neighbourhood
turn and see the city's glowing
still you say it's time
time you must be going
to leave behind the troubles that bother you
but where will you go
that they won't follow you?
where will you go
that they won't follow you?
outside, outside
these things that we can't recognize
i've tried, i've tried
i know it's not for me to say goodbye
goodbye
we push against the coming dayour arms can't seem to hold
paint it bright until it seems
that our arms can't control it
but it breaks
breaks against the rocks
breaks when I hear us talk
through veils and whispers darlin'
whispers darlin'
Oh I don't want to
no, I don't want to
a moment shimmers
and there's twilight
in the corner of our eyes
come closer
make promises to me now
we'll hit the evening's heights
all of this unravels
these moments leave us
just with shadows
chase them home
chase them 'till we're sleeping
Under the cover of the nightUnder a seascape of a sky
Hearts begin to slip away
Restless as the clouds
I thought the strangest thing the other day
As I looked across the water
We both stood on a floating ship
We were moving into harbour
To be that way again
Take back the words I said
There's nothing left to do
You'll walk me home
You'll walk me home
Figures drifting and departing
At a dying summer's end
Retrace their common footsteps
And try to find their way again
Through the haze of winters
When all the years have past
Where are they still walking
Together hand in hand?
The darkness of the water
The darkness of your eyes
Can't stop us spinning farther
We're sinking out of sight
You'll walk me home
You'll walk me home
Don't think you are alone
(*talking*)
Man, on a normal occasion
I'd tell you to roll something up
Po some'ing up, but I ain't feeling that way
Everytime I turn around, another funeral
Another away man, how much can we take feel this
[E.S.G.]
I'm riding one deep with my gun, naw I ain't having fun
Wondering how to break the news, to my partna lil' son
His daddy probably the saw the angels, death he couldn't stop it
But God, why'd you have to take my dog Todd Prophet
Already lost Mello, now who gon be next
Think I'm feeling safe fake ass rappers, having plex
Who you playing with, don't take your life for granted
So many good people, seem to be the victims on the planet
Can't understand it, now which religion talking noise
Them Catholic priests, be touching on lil' boys
Can't trust your homeboys, you drop em off at home
He call his partna on the phone, they done broke in your home
Now what's wrong, said the Lord people dying too often
With no health or no insurance, can't afford no coffin
So today no flossing, another wake at eight o'clock
Jam Master Jay wasn't a gangsta, but he still got shot what's up
[Hook: (Kirby)]
My partna use to be a baller but
(now he's gone, ah-oooh)
And all I can tell his son, is
(try to hold on, ah-oooh)
Yeah she use to be a star, but
(now she's gone, ah-oooh)
Hey mama, they thought your son wouldn't make it but
(I stayed strong, ah-oooh)
[E.S.G.]
Now lil' Tamika up the street, wanted a baller real bad
Only 16, but already giving up the ass
You got cash you could smash, you don't have to ask
She needed money for clothes, so she stayed skipping class
Catch her flipping in a Jag, or flipping in the Lex
Laughing at the nerdy chicks, who believed in safe sex
She had one baby, had twins then another
Now didn't slow at 18, all living with her mother
Steady bouncing out of town, rent-a-cars with crack
Missing her kids birthday, what kind of mother is that
The ass started getting flat, without using Metabolife
Whole neighborhood wondering, if Tamika on the pipe
Strip clubs late at night, with bags under her eyes
Had the flu for three months, feeling like she bout to die
Boyfriends disappeared, and so did the queen
HIV in her bloodstream, girl died ay 19 damn
[Hook]
[E.S.G.]
Now Lord I know, I'm in the valley of death
And can't no man predict, how many days he got left
Use to run the street, with some devilish ass demons
High on dust not giving a fuck, smoking wet steady scheming
Had to change my ways, and go another route
Now I use the studio, to let my pain out
No more chasing dreams, gotta make it on my own
Can't be waiting on the next man, gotta get my hustle on
Now in case you ain't know this, playboy I'm focused
Only got one chance, no way in hell I can blow this
Turn my last five dollas, into a quarter million
But money can't change, the fucking pain that I'm feeling
From Chris, Paul to Tremain, who else gon go
They even killed Romeo, from the Steve Harvey show
Said I'd be dead in a year, that was two years ago
Thank the Lord I'm still here, hope I live to see mo' let's roll
[Hook]
[Kirby]
Now he's gone-gone, (now he's gone)
But I'ma hold on, (try to hold on)
Oooh she's gone, (now she's gone)
But I'ma stay strong, (I stayed strong)
Now you gone-gone, (now he's gone)
But I-but I-will hold on, (try to hold on)
Whoooh mama gone, (now she's gone)
But I will stay strong, (I stayed strong)
Ooooh my partna's gone, (now he's gone)
I'ma hold on, (try to hold on)
Whooooa mama's gone-gone-gone, (now she's gone)
Anyway you look at itThe end is just not clear
And I don't want to pretend
There's so much unfinished here
That's the way it is these days
As far as I can tell
In the silent hours that linger on
Beyond all farewells
And I could say a thousand words
and some might be true
and not one of these words
can change you
I know that now
It doesn't seem alright
I pass through the night
it cannot touch me now
it cannot touch me now
just this pulsing heart
on an empty subway train
your voice like a stranger
is a subtle refrain
ringing round my mind
ringing round my mind
ringing round my mind
all the time
And I could say a thousand words
and some might be true
and not one of these words
can change you
I can't change you
No, I can't change you
Is this what becomes of us?when all the lines are cut
Conversations lay in ruins
and all the doors are shut
An empty verse
a turn of phrase is all that I can say
You don't hear me
You don't hear me anyway
It's not time
to say goodnight
What's on your mind?
You're outta sight
Oh can't you see?
We've been livin' past our means
All these hope-filled hours
and nothing in between
So take these broken ends
nine decades scattered
among disconnected friends
and see what you can do
It's not time
to say goodnight
What's on your mind?
I''m watching youI''m watching you
Sink into a darkness
That always seems to come your way
It''s been like this before
Cut down to the core
We''ve said so many farewells
This is just another one
Reckless hearts and thoughtless tongues
Are not so easily undone
They say lovers share their troubles now
But I'm just adding to the cause
I''ve been careless
Careless
Maybe I''ve received
A string of hollow victories
For all the good they''ve done me
I can''t seem to find my feet
I''ve left you feeling cold
But I''ve got nothing to show for it
You came towards me
Like a boat towards the rocks
Reckless hearts and thoughtless tongues
Are not so easily undone
They say lovers share their troubles now
But we're just adding to the cause
We''ve been careless
We walked along the shadows that littered the afternoonWe
stood apart like strangers, with the sunlight rushing
through
On these winter days, morning sets in like a sleep
And when I think about us now, how much is mine to keep?
Maybe I've been fooling myself
We go in circles, darling
So I'll see you again
Its not the past that I want
Its what the past demands
'Till I pass by
Is there a choice to make?
In all these scenes that I can't shake
'cause with our eyes wide, we're half asleep
the nighttime moves so carefully
Still I don't know what's going on
I just feel this way
Maybe I've been fooling myself
We go in circles, darling
So I'll see you again
Its not the past that I want
Its what the past demands
'Till I pass by
ceremony gunsringin' 'round the parlaiment
ricocheting through the alleyways
and crackin' the cement
when I gaze above the rooftops
I see my own setting sun
I step outside
and I can't hold on
rumbles in the underground
shake the gardens at my feet
as I stumble past the church downtown
the cascading balconies
and the sounds outside my window
collapse the walls inside my mind
and I'm lost in this riot
in this riot deep inside
We walked along the shadows that littered the afternoonWe
stood apart like strangers, with the sunlight rushing
through
On these winter days, morning sets in like a sleep
And when I think about us now, how much is mine to keep?
Maybe I've been fooling myself
We go in circles, darling
So I'll see you again
Its not the past that I want
Its what the past demands
'Till I pass by
Is there a choice to make?
In all these scenes that I can't shake
'cause with our eyes wide, we're half asleep
the nighttime moves so carefully
Still I don't know what's going on
I just feel this way
Maybe I've been fooling myself
We go in circles, darling
So I'll see you again
Its not the past that I want
Its what the past demands
Ringin' 'round the parliament
Ricocheting through the alleyways
And crackin' the cement
When I gaze above the rooftops
I see my own setting sun
I step outside
And I can't hold on
Rumbles in the underground
Shake the gardens at my feet
As I stumble past the church downtown
The cascading balconies
And the sounds outside my window
Collapse the walls inside my mind
And I'm lost in this riot
