The Island

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You arrive in the rising sun
The hidden passenger that I've been takin'
Close your eyes, let's forget again
As you drag me down, I will take you in

What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light

When everything is said and done
To looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the edge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone

I'm caught in your slow release
Seems like your traveler is eager to move me
My reflection will slowly fade
To another time, into my head escapes

What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light

When everything is said and done
To looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the edge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone





(Oh oh oh oh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Island" by $pyda, Fresh, Pendulum, and Tenor Fly describe a journey towards a better, brighter future. The opening lines, "You arrive in the rising sun, the hidden passenger that I've been takin'," suggest that the singer is on a voyage with a companion, whom they identify as a "hidden passenger." Together, they are moving towards a new beginning, represented by the "rising sun." The following lines, "Close your eyes, let's forget again, as you drag me down, I will take you in," indicate that the journey may not be easy, and that the singer is willing to provide comfort and support to their companion in difficult times.


The chorus, with its recurring question "What are you waiting for?", urges the listener to embrace the present and move towards the "light" of a better future. The repetition of this question emphasizes the urgency and importance of taking action now, instead of waiting for things to improve on their own. The second verse presents a sense of disillusionment and uncertainty, with the singer describing their attempt to find answers, only to "come undone" and be left with "no reason." However, the chorus encourages the listener to keep moving forward and not give up hope.


Overall, "The Island" is a hopeful and motivational song that encourages listeners to keep moving towards a brighter future, even in the face of uncertainty and adversity.
