Coast Is Clear Lyrics

Cover art for Coast Is Clear lyrics by Curve

I think this is about a dysfunctional relationship.

"You can be my father/For the love he has shown/It's just a little too late/It's never enough to swallow those pills/Now I'm sick and always will be"

I think she's saying her lover is caring about her now as if he were her father (maybe he's old too? Could be she's dating an old man?) but it's too late because she feels disgusted. her mentioning the pills might mean she's trying to forget about her problems and it's never enough to help her.

"Just when you thought it was alright" and "Coast is clear" might mean she's had forbidden relationship with an older man.

I logged in to upvote the Red Pyramid's comment - it fits perfectly.

Also, the live version's much more amazing than the studio version. MAN do I wish I had seen them live.
