Dungeness
Athlete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a rope and a rubber glove
You found some pretty stones and they had holes so you could tie them together
Tie them together
Tie them together

And when we spoke there was silence
'cause there's no need to make a sound when you've got
Smiles instead
Smiles instead
Smiles instead

Go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness
Let's go to dungeness

No tall latte in a rusty shed
Just shots of light and broken bike to stimulate your busy head
In dungeness




In dungeness
Try dungeness

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Athlete's song "Dungeness" paint a vivid picture of a tranquil and secluded place by the sea. The opening lines suggest a sense of exploration and discovery as the singer mentions finding a rope and a rubber glove, and his companion finding stones with holes that could be tied together. This suggests the playful and curious nature of the two individuals and their desire to explore their surroundings and make interesting finds.


As the lyrics progress, they make it clear that the setting is a place of quiet contemplation and reflection. When the two individuals speak to each other, there is silence, indicating that they are comfortable in each other's company and do not need words to express themselves. Instead, they communicate through smiles and the shared experience of being in Dungeness.


The chorus of the song invites the listener to join in on this experience and visit Dungeness themselves. It's described as a place that's different from the urban environment typically associated with trendy cafes and noise. Instead, Dungeness offers a more natural, serene atmosphere that prompts self-reflection and thought.


Overall, the song captures the essence of the simple joys of travel and the beauty of unexpected discoveries that can be made in lesser-known places that are off the beaten path.
