Lyric discussion by A Nameless Ghoul 

Cover art for West Coast lyrics by Neighbourhood, The

Okay I have no clue whether I'm right or not because I've been listening to this song for about a year and yet nothing is clear to me. But I do have an idea?? I think that the song is just basically describing his life in California and how he grew up there throughout the years and how he's different. It also talks about stereotypes, like "they say it's happy here but it's depressing". but that doesn't explain to me where the "pretty isn't everything" phrase comes into play. I honestly don't know where I'm going with this so if anyone has an idea please let me know!

My Interpretation

@Leg10n I think when he says "pretty isn't everything" he's saying that just because it's pretty doesn't mean it's a happy place or something along those lines lol
