In this evocative piece, the artist explores the notion of change and self-discovery. The "tiger striped sky" symbolizes a world filled with wonder and beauty yet also uncertainty. The protagonist is intrigued by this unfamiliar world, questioning its existence. The longing for adventure is evident in his dissatisfaction with seeing adventures merely on café walls, prompting him to embark on a personal journey. This journey signifies a departure from familiar territories ("known road") towards uncharted waters ("going southbound"). The repeated lines about giving up stripes and painting with new colors denote his readiness to leave behind old habits or identities and embrace transformation. In essence, the song portrays life's constant evolution, underscoring the importance of embracing change and seeking one's own path despite uncertainties.
