Verse 1

The salty sea lets out a deep briny sigh

Above the flat land the warm air quivers silently

Hey

Verse 1

Sometimes someone suddenly yet surely takes flight

Alert Level Two is hardly notorious here anymore

Chorus 1

But nobody knows

And keeps quiet about what they hear and see

Here on the coast, the Zeeland coast

Where people unconsciously get a craving for mussel feasts

And say nothing about food

When they're drunk and satisfied

Then they calmly go to sleep again

Here on the coast, the Zeeland coast

Where everyone unconsciously

Chorus 1

Gets addressed in German

Where the chain has been broken

And all ships have been burned

But nothing's wrong

Verse 2

Vlissingen breathes heavy and hopeless tonight

The harbor's deserted, 'cause there's only one cargo left

And it has to be taken offshore in the dark

And think of the good times of purity and strength

Chorus 2

But nobody knows

And keeps quiet about what they hear and see

Here on the coast, the Zeeland coast

Where the summer unconsciously

Is enjoyed at breakneck speed

Chorus 2

And where, wild and undaunted

Everyone can do their own thing

Until they're drunk and satisfied

Here on the coast, the Zeeland coast

Where love keeps on

Losing to desire again and again

Chorus 2

Because she can never choose

Between good and not so bad

But that's how it goes

Here on the coast

SONG MEANING

Salty breezes, mussel parties, and a hint of melancholy: that is the cocktail BLØF serves in “Aan De Kust”. The song is a sun-drenched postcard from the Zeeland shoreline, where the sea heaves a deep, briny sigh and the warm air shimmers above the flat land. Holidaymakers pour in, locals slip into carefree celebration, and everyone switches to German without thinking while feasting on seafood until they are “zat en voldaan” – tipsy and satisfied. On the surface it feels like endless summer fun.

BLØF, however, slips in subtle shadows. Empty harbors, burned-out ships, broken chains, and whispered alarms hint at lost industries, old wounds, and choices never made. People keep silent, letting the tide of pleasure wash away uneasy memories. The result is a bittersweet anthem: a reminder that beneath the coastal glow lie stories of departure and longing, but also an invitation to live in the moment, dance by the dunes, and let the evening breeze carry your worries out to sea.
