Magic

The song 'Magic' by By The Coast is a tender and evocative exploration of a deep, enduring love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple sharing intimate moments, wrapped in the warmth of their connection despite the cold, shivering rain. The imagery of wearing a coat and walking back to their place suggests a sense of comfort and protection, highlighting the nurturing aspect of their relationship. The quietness they maintain, despite having much to say, underscores the depth of their understanding and the unspoken bond they share.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the bittersweet nature of their love. The line 'You’re wearing a tear, on top of a smile' captures the complexity of their emotions, blending joy with a hint of sadness. This duality is further emphasized by the act of pouring a glass, symbolizing a moment of pause and reflection. The recurring theme of 'keeping it quiet' suggests that their connection transcends words, relying instead on shared feelings and experiences.

The chorus, 'We got some kind of magic, and it’s like we’ve always had it,' encapsulates the timeless and almost mystical quality of their love. This magic is described as something inherent and everlasting, a force that has always been and will always be a part of their lives. The song concludes with a promise to never forget this feeling and a plea to always retain this magical connection. The imagery of pulling down stars and the heartbeat for two further romanticizes their bond, making it clear that their love is both familiar and ever-evolving, racing at the speed of sound.
