Lavender Bay is a suburb in the lower north shore of Sydney, the latter which John shortly resided in during his early adulthood.
The chorus reinforce the themes present on the album of wanting validation that he’s doing the right thing.
[Verse 1]
There's always something else
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
No, I'm never really happy when I get it, I’m too hard on myself
I’m sorry I left you behind
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
Well, you never made it out but you could blame it on me, I don’t mind
[Pre-Chorus]
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Have you ever had those dreams where you can fly?
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
'Cause it hurts you too much to know where you’re gonna die
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
I won't sleep until Sydney knows my name
I just wanna see my name light up the streets
Or it was all for nothing, all, all for nothing
[Verse 2]
Life is like a double-sided coin
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
We play along is if we ever really had the choice
The difference is what I did with mine
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
I got something I can hold in my hand, you got nine to five
[Pre-Chorus]
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Have you ever had those dreams where you can fly?
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
'Cause it hurts you too much to know where you’re gonna die
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Chorus]
I won't sleep until Sydney knows my name
I just wanna see my name light up the streets
Or it was all for nothing, all, all for nothing
I won't sleep until Sydney knows my name
I just wanna see my name light up the streets
Or it was all for nothing, all, all for nothing
(I just wanna see my name light up the streets)
I won't sleep until Sydney knows my name
(Or it was all for nothing, all, all for nothing)
I just wanna see my name light up the streets
(I won't sleep until Sydney knows my name)
Or it was all for nothing, all, all for nothing

Vocalist John Floreani spoke about the sentiment behind the song in an interview with Cooltry:
As I joined a band and started playing music I grew apart from my old friends as it was a bad space to be creative. Those people were the kinda of people to be like ‘oh John’s in a band’ you know what I m...
In an interview with Depth Magazine, vocalist John Floreani shared:
Funny story about “Lavender Bay” was that we wrote the whole album and got rid of a couple of songs because they weren’t good enough. Then we were all sitting around thinking it was missing something, like this album was missing on...
