A corniche is a road on the side of a cliff or mountain, with the ground rising on one side of the road and falling away on the other. The word comes from the French route à corniche or road on a ledge.
The road that runs roughly between Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (east of Nice) along the sea to Monaco has been colloquially called The Corniche. Another road to the north that parallels it is formally called the Moyenne Corniche.
The avenue that runs along the western and northern coast of the Beirut peninsula is colloquially called Corniche Beirut.

The Corniche (or Corniche Road) is located in the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It forms a sweeping curve on the western side of the main Abu Dhabi island and is replete with cycle paths, fountains and park areas. Between 2002 and 2003, land was reclaimed from the sea and the Corniche was extended. Some of the earlier landmarks were demolished in the process. Certain parts of the Corniche have significant deposition of sand, with people using the area as a public beach. Prior to the 1970s, the current area occupied by the Corniche was a beach, where dhows and ships used to anchor and transfer cargo or people; at the time, the Mina Zayed area was not yet constructed.
Marina Mall is located across from the Corniche and can be accessed using a narrow breakwater road. At Marina Mall, the UAE Flag is hoisted and holds the record for being one of the tallest Flag poles in the world.
Lulu Island is a tiny reclaimed island located about a kilometer from the corniche and the Emirates Palace Hotel is at the southern end. There are a number of skyscrapers at the northern end, with newer taller skyscrapers being built on the southern end.
The Corniche (الكرنيش Al-Kurnīsh) is a waterfront promenade corniche in Alexandria, Egypt, running along the Eastern Harbour. It is one of the major corridors for traffic in Alexandria. The Corniche is formally designated "26 of July Road" west of Mansheya and "Army Road" east of it; however, these names are little used.
Italian Egyptian architect Pietro Avoscani designed it in 1870.
The western end starts by the Citadel of Qaitbay (built in place of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). It runs for over ten miles and ends by the Montaza Palace.
Remember that one time I bit you on the arm?
I was just afraid of solitude and being alone...
I want to be at your house right now, make you stand by the sink,
I swear to keep awake...
I can show you things like fire and more...
Remember the time I kicked the TV over
For months I'm sharing lungs
I can't talk to her
cause she'll throw rocks at me...
I might never see you again
I hope we fix
and stay special cause...
I ain't tryin to start a fight
but if only I could pull you in
for a moment...
I know this pain
that's so sweet
battlestations please guard us...
marry me
but don't lean on me
cause I'll fuck you till the morning
so stay
Gone!!
For months I'm sharing lungs
I can't talk to her
cause she'll throw rocks at me...
I'll be screaming and all besides
and if you're listening
you'll know
she knows that look when it comes to my music
???????
my lungs are in the top drawer
by now I've got a lover inside of me
as long as we sleep right now
as long as we sleep right now
For months I'm sharing lungs
I can't talk to her
cause she'll throw rocks at me...
she'll throw rocks at me
For months I'm sharing lungs
I can't talk to her
