Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
Ditch
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to your home (oh)
Hey take me when you're home (oh)
Arms around my head won't miss
So I close my eyes instead
Arms around my head, won't rest
I can't so I
Close my eyes insteadYou
I like the likes of you
Oh, can't you seen I've grown? (grown)
Arms around my head won't miss
So i close my eyes instead
Arms around my head
Won't rest I can't so I
Close my eyes instead

The opening lines, "Hey take me to your home" and "Hey take me when you're home" suggest that the singer is asking someone to take them to a place where they feel safe and secure. The repetition of the phrase "arms around my head" indicates a desire for comfort and protection, and the line "won't rest, I can't" suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and needs a break from reality.
The chorus of the song, "You, I like the likes of you," indicates that the singer feels a connection to the person they are talking to, and the line "can't you see I've grown" suggests that they have changed or developed in some way. However, the focus remains on finding comfort and escape, demonstrated in the repetition of the line "arms around my head won't miss, so I close my eyes instead."
Overall, the lyrics of "Ditch" convey a sense of vulnerability and a desire for safety and comfort in the face of overwhelming stress and anxiety.

Hey
Addressing someone to get their attention
Take me to your home (oh)
Asking to be taken to their home
Hey take me when you're home (oh)
Asking to be taken to their home when they get there
Arms around my head won't miss
Feeling the absence of physical contact while their arms are not around your head
So I close my eyes instead
Depriving one sense to enhance another
Arms around my head, won't rest
Desiring the physical touch to continue
I can't so I
Unable to keep their arms around the head forever
You
Referencing someone in particular
I like the likes of you
Taking a liking to someone's character or behavior
Oh, can't you seen I've grown? (grown)
Expressing personal growth and hoping others will notice
Arms around my head won't miss
Returning to the desire for physical contact
So i close my eyes instead
Using senses apart from physical touch
Arms around my head
The physical contact being missed
Won't rest I can't so I
Continued need for physical contact
Close my eyes instead
Retreating to other senses to cope with the absence of touch

I want lots of you, ooh
