Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We went for confusion
The streets were all covered
Water had frozen
Slid on our stomachs
Small fingers had broken
That you've slipped and you're lying
And this is Montreal

The second line, "We went for confusion," could refer to trying new things, exploring the city, or simply getting lost in the moment.
The verse goes on to describe the fun the singer and their friends had sliding on their stomachs on frozen water, but also the pain that comes with it as small fingers get broken. The song paints a vivid picture of a reckless night, full of excitement and danger. The chorus, "And you want to be sure that you've slipped and you're lying, and this is Montreal," confirms that the singer wants to make the most of their experience and take in all the unique aspects of the city.

Line by Line Meaning
We stayed up on New Year's
We didn't sleep on New Year's Eve
We went for confusion
We intentionally sought out chaos or unpredictability
The streets were all covered
The roads were buried under something, possibly snow
Water had frozen
The water had turned into ice
Slid on our stomachs
We were physically sliding on the ground with our bellies
Small fingers had broken
Our hands or fingers got injured
And you want to be sure
You desire to confirm or check something
That you've slipped and you're lying
You're hoping to have fallen to the ground and be lying down
And this is Montreal
This location we're in is Montreal, Canada
