Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chiasm's song Isolated talk about being trapped in a space and feeling powerless to break free from the isolation and confinement that surround them. The singer of the song is unsure of what lies beyond the walls of the room they find themselves in, and they question whether it is even worth caring about. They are left staring at a light that ultimately blinds them and leaves them feeling hopeless and alone. As the song progresses, the singer laments the fact that they have no choice but to remain isolated, and they feel as though they are being pushed aside and segregated from the rest of the world. At one point, they even feel as though they may be forced to extract their own heart, such is the strength of their despair.


The song is a poignant reflection on the experience of feeling trapped and alone. The lyrics explore the hopelessness that can come with being isolated and the sense of powerlessness that can come from feeling as though there are no options for escape. The repetition of the phrase "struggling/left alone/apart/pushed aside/made segregated" further emphasizes the sense of despair that the singer feels, and highlights the cyclical nature of their situation.
