Island by Afternoon Talk is an interpretation of their hometown that awarded by many beaches to simply unwind. Imagine everyday visiting to the beach, embraced by the warm sun, inducing pleasant thoughts of tropical breezes, crashing waves, sun tan lotion and naps on the beach. This song tells this enjoyment. “We can dance we can dance along the night, we can sing we can sing until the sunrise.”
Island
Afternoon Talk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we can start a colony
Cause it's just you and i lay here in silence
I start to wonder.
If i could find inside the wild A tiger, a lion, an elephant and elses
I'd ask them to bring all their fine friends to the seashore. Oooo Oooo.
We can dance, we can dance along the night
We can sing, we can sing until the sunrise
Around the fireside we'll be drunk and fall asleep
In our island, in our treasure island.
We can walk by the shimmering sand
The sky is as blue as your eyes, it's where i would stay
We'll find some games to play
Let's feel the breeze and fly away
We don't have much to say
So let's just get your boat and catch the wave!
We can dance, we can dance along the night
We can sing, we can sing until the sunrise
Around the fireside we'll be drunk and fall asleep
In our island, in our treasure island.
The lyrics of Afternoon Talk’s song “Island” paint a picture of a utopia of sorts, where the singer and their partner can build a kingdom and start a colony together. The laid-back, carefree nature of the song comes through in lines like “we don’t have much to say, so let’s just get your boat and catch the wave” which expresses a desire for simple pleasures.
The singer expresses a desire to be surrounded by nature and wild animals, saying “If I could find inside the wild a tiger, a lion, an elephant and elses, I’d ask them to bring all their fine friends to the seashore.” The island represents a place where they can dance, sing, and be carefree around a fireside.
The song’s tone is equal parts romantic and whimsical, evoking a sense of childlike wonder as the singer and their love create their own paradise. The desire for simplicity and the beauty of nature is evident throughout the lyrics as well.

We can build a kingdom here
Together, you and I can create a world for ourselves here
And we can start a colony
We can establish a society, just the two of us
Cause it's just you and I lay here in silence
Silently together, just you and I
I start to wonder.
As I lie here, I begin to question
If i could find inside the wild A tiger, a lion, an elephant and elses
If I could discover wildlife including exotic creatures such as tigers, lions, and elephants
I'd ask them to bring all their fine friends to the seashore. Oooo Oooo.
I would invite them and their acquaintances to join us on the beach
We can dance, we can dance along the night
We can dance until night turns into day
We can sing, we can sing until the sunrise
We can also sing until the sun comes up
Around the fireside we'll be drunk and fall asleep
We'll drink around the fire and eventually doze off
In our island, in our treasure island.
All of these activities will occur on our own little paradise
We can walk by the shimmering sand
We'll enjoy the beach and stroll in the sand
The sky is as blue as your eyes, it's where i would stay
The sky's color is as gorgeous as your eyes and where I'd like to remain
We'll find some games to play
We'll amuse ourselves with some games
Let's feel the breeze and fly away
Let's experience the wind's gusts and then take to the sky
We don't have much to say
We don't need words
So let's just get your boat and catch the wave!
So let's use your boat and ride the waves!
In our island, in our treasure island.
Once again, all these exciting activities will take place on our little, fully-owned paradise
