When asked about the meaning behind the sentence “every city has a Chinatown” on an Instagram live session on 09/Feb/19, Charles Cave stated that it means that “Every city is the same. Which is a stupid thing to say […] but then again the man singing this song is a bit stupid”.
I believe this song is a about a person who has big dreams, who wants to see the world and experience different cultures, different relationships, different lives, but his/her partner (singing the song) thinks those dreams are silly and not worth pursuing.
