Waiting all night for you
Waiting all night for you

Why'd you take so long to get here?
I've been waiting all night for you
I could tell you this song's about you
But you know that, that shit ain't true
Why'd you take so long to get here?
I've been waiting all night for you
I could tell you this song's about you
But you know that, that shit ain't true

When the sky is finally falling, I'm alone in my room
I'll be waiting where I started, I've got nothing to lose
When the sky is finally falling, I'm alone in your room
I'll be gone before the morning 'cause the shit that you do

Such a lonely life now that you're gone
I've been slowing time down for so long
Such a lonely life now that you're gone
I've been slowing time down, for so long

Why'd you take so long to get here?
I've been waiting all night for you
I could tell you this song's about you
But you know that, that shit ain't true
Why'd you take so long to get here?
I've been waiting all night for you
I could tell you this song's about you
But you know that that shit ain't...

When the sky is finally falling, I'm alone in my room
I'll be waiting where I started, I got nothing to lose
When the sky is finally falling, I'm alone in your room
I'll be gone before the morning 'cause the shit that you do

Such a lonely life now that you're gone
I've been slowing time down for so long
Such a lonely life now that you're gone
I've been slowing time down for so long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Killstation's song "Isolation" express the feeling of waiting for someone who never arrives. The repetition of the line "waiting all night for you" conveys a sense of longing and anticipation that is not fulfilled. The questions "why'd you take so long to get here?" suggest that the person being waited for is late, and the singer's frustration is palpable. The admission that "I could tell you this song's about you, but you know that, that shit ain't true" indicates a sense of disillusionment and perhaps even betrayal. The repeated references to the sky falling suggest a sense of impending doom or catastrophe, while the declaration of having "nothing to lose" conveys a sense of resignation or hopelessness.
