Khalid

The song coaster is a metaphor for how some people chose to move through their life. "As time passes, I feel so low" is the very first line of the song and is starting it out on a sadder note. The beat of the song also starts off low and as the song progresses the beat starts to pick up pace. "So I'll be coasting, roller-coasting" is Khalid's way of dealing with his emotions which is how many chose to process their own emotions. Roller coaster is being used as a metaphor to explain how many tend to process their emotions after a breakup or when something unwanted happens, which includes lots of ups and downs with some curves thrown in. This method allows for time to process what happened before making rash decisions. Many people tend to jump to conclusions and by coasting through the process of acceptance may help some stop making such rash decisions right away when something bad or inconvenient happens. "You weren't the one for me" "So don't come back to me, no" "No, don't come back to me" is the outro of the song and unlike the beginning of the song it shows that he has finally accepted what has happened and is moving on. A main take away from this song is that even though it may seem like the end of the world when something bad happens, if you wait it out and coast through the process it will eventually no longer matter.
