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.
