I am waiting to be changed.
The opening lines of the song Quarantined by Atlas Sound paint a picture of isolation and loneliness. The singer finds himself cut off from the outside world and away from his friends. The word "quarantined" conveys a sense of being trapped, confined, and cut off from others. The feeling of distance and physical separation is further reinforced by the phrase "kept so far away." The word "friends" also gives us an insight into the singer's social life and its importance. He longs for human interaction, a chance to connect with others and break out of his isolation.
The second line, "I am waiting to be changed," is ambiguous and could be interpreted in various ways. One way of understanding it is that the singer is waiting for the quarantine to end, and life to return to normal. He seeks a change from his present state of being confined and cut off from others. Another possible interpretation suggests that the singer is looking for a deeper transformation, a change of mindset or perspective. The isolation could be an opportunity for introspection and growth.
Overall, the opening lines of the song paint a vivid picture of the experience of quarantine and isolation. It captures the sense of loneliness, longing and anticipation to break free from the confines of the situation.

This song is so full of emotion, given Bradford Cox's history. Lyrically, the majority of mainstream music is heading, and continuing to head into the direction more focused on greed and power, rather than personal growth. Thus, making Atlas Sound the shit.
