Broken Social Scene – 7/4 (Shoreline) Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is very passionate, that much is obvious. The band members put a lot of energy into the work they do, and their material reflects this. The song is about trying to get by. In the music video for this song, there are images of the band playing interspersed with this group of four people driving along a beach, a shoreline. One of them is humorously wearing a zebra mask throughout. Two of them are leaning against each other, giving off a 'just married' feeling. The guy who is driving just smiles to himself as he drives, carefree, worry-free. The guy in the zebra mask does nothing. I think the song is about getting by in life, and how one is opposed in honest endeavors by malevolent elements. I think it ultimately has a positive outlook, I think it says 'everything's either already okay, or everything's going to be okay.' I like that.

Broken Social Scene – 7/4 (Shoreline) Lyrics 19 years ago
it's a shoreline
it's high speed
it's a cruel world
and it's time

and you want to get away
oh where to go to
when you want to get it out
oh how to get through
if you want to get it all
you can own what you choose
and you want to live a lie
and love what you lose

it's a shoreline
it's high speed
it's a cruel world
and it's time

when you want to get away
and try to get through
but you gotta love the lies
the lies they told you
if you try to do it all
then all will leave you
if you try to steal the fear
fear will steal you

it's coming in hard
