The song "Since I Left You" by The Avalanches is a nostalgic and uplifting track with an upbeat tempo that captures the feeling of discovering a new world after leaving behind something familiar. The opening line of "Where's Dexter?" is a nod to the TV show "Dexter," which aired around the same time as the song's release. The lyrics "Get a drink, have a good time now, welcome to paradise" set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes the exhilaration of exploring a new environment.
The repetition of the phrase "Since I left you, I found the world so new and every day" emphasizes the excitement of discovering new experiences, people, and places. The repetition also captures the sense of wonder and awe that comes with exploring an unfamiliar landscape. The phrase "I found the world so new" is a declaration of the singer's shifting perspective, as they see things with fresh eyes and take in the world around them with renewed optimism.
