Harbour
Dartz! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today.
Meet me at the pier.
Any static choice i doubt.
Keep this to yourself.
Tonight we're getting out.
I realised while glancing at maps.
Do you know what i am?
But i'll let you in on my plan.
I think this year we should do things a little different.
We'll skip our birthdays and have fireworks at christmas.
Because this last year felt far too systematic.
If i arranged things for myself they might be less more traumatic
In Dartz!'s song Harbour, the singer seems to be longing for an escape and is asking their friend to take them to the harbour. They want to leave behind the monotony of their current life and seek adventure. The lyrics talk about meeting at the pier and making a choice that isn't static, suggesting that they want to stray from their routine. The singer also implores their friend to keep this plan to themselves, indicating that they want to keep their intentions a secret from others. They want to get out tonight and take control of their own life.
The chorus talks about the singer's realization while looking at maps, suggesting that they have been planning their escape for some time. They reveal that they can't make a promise to their friend but they will let them in on their plan. The singer suggests that they want to do things differently this year, breaking the monotony of their life. They propose skipping their birthdays and having fireworks at Christmas, suggesting that they want to make every moment count. They feel that the previous year has been too systematic, and they want to take matters into their own hands and make their life less traumatic.
