Going Abroad
Escape to Reggae Bliss: Going Abroad with Los Capitanes
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expression of excitement or agreement
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of excitement or agreement
As I sit by the pool of my best friend's house
Reflecting on being at a friend's pool
My mind will wander
Contemplating thoughts
What the hell am I still doing here?
Questioning the current situation
When I could be yonder
Expressing a desire to be elsewhere
Overseas in a reggae paradise, yeah
Imagining being overseas in a reggae paradise
That would be nice
Expressing the appeal of such a scenario
Under the shade of a swaying palm tree
Describing an ideal setting under a palm tree
Just sounds so goddamn perfect to me
Expressing the perfection of the imagined scene
Just to escape, to elope or to break free, yeah
Desire to escape or break free
Somewhere far away, far from Canberra preferably
Expressing a preference to be far from Canberra
Going abroad, for a while
Expressing the intention of going abroad
I'll miss the band and the girl I left behind, yeah
Acknowledging the potential sacrifices
I hope that girl don't mind
Expressing hope that the girl understands
Thought I was happy where I was
Reflecting on being content where one is
And I still am, don't ask me why, it's just because
Stating contentment without a specific reason
Going abroad, for a while
Reiterating the intention of going abroad
Yeah, going abroad, for a little while
---
Coconuts and novelty cups with umbrellas on the tops
Expressing fondness for coconuts and novelty cups
I like them lots
Desire for a carefree and relaxed atmosphere
No need for worries, no need to shout
Playful questioning of life's purpose
But I say what if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about?
Reflecting on past pursuits and experiences
Have I been wasting my time, all of these years?
Questioning the value of past actions
Wanting girls that I cannot get and, buying them beers
Reflecting on unsuccessful pursuits
To no avail
Expressing futility in certain endeavors
I'll always fail
Conveying a sense of inevitable failure
I say oh no
Expressing a realization of the need for change
I need to get out of here
Expressing a strong desire to leave the current situation
Going abroad for a while
Reiterating the intention of going abroad
