Souvenir Lyrics
It's my direction, it's my proposal
It's so hard it's leading me astray
My obsession, it's my creation
You'll understand it's not important now
All I need is co-ordination
I can't imagine my destination
My intention ask my opinion
But no excuse, my feelings still remain
My feelings still remain
It's so hard it's leading me astray
My obsession, it's my creation
You'll understand it's not important now
I can't imagine my destination
My intention ask my opinion
But no excuse, my feelings still remain

Souvenir by Brittle Stars is about a one-sided effort in a relationship. The singer wants very much to move towards a “destination” with somebody that is complacent.
There is a moment of doubt in the line “My intention ask my opinion”, where the motives of the singer come into question, however the feelings that drive that motive are too persistent for the singer not to make the move.
Though the lyrics are quite straightforward, the title is a different question. It could be about how souvenirs are signifiers of places in time, and that taking them away from their place of origin is defying a form of complacency, though this seems like a stretch.
