Island
Clio Leslie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone better be here in time
Shouldn't in the dark for too long now
If only I can past so far
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I'm the only one
Again I come
It's like I, I've just begun
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
Someone's gotta come here and find me
Someone's better make up their mind
Never meant to lose what I long for
Never meant to be so up?
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I'm the only one
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I, I've just begun
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
The lyrics to Clio Leslie's song "Island" are open to interpretation, but there seem to be themes of isolation, loneliness, and a desire for someone to come to the rescue. The first lines are about needing someone to save her and be there in time. She has been in the dark for too long and wants to move past whatever is holding her back. She reiterates the phrase "again I come, I do rerun" suggesting that this is not the first time she's found herself in this situation. She may feel as though she's the only one going through this struggle or that she's starting over again.
The chorus of "In my heart is like an Island and I'm standing all alone" repeats twice in the song. This line is a metaphor for feeling isolated and cut off, and it suggests that Clio Leslie's character is struggling with a sense of loss, rejection, or feelings of inadequacy. When she sings "someone's gotta come here and find me," she longs for someone to make up their mind and to recognize the value of what she has lost. She seems to have never intended to find herself in this situation and did not mean to lose something important to her.
All in all, the song seems to express the universal need of people for companionship, warmth, and love. The songwriter uses the metaphor of an island in the heart to convey the idea of loneliness, one that is so acute it consumes one despite being surrounded by people. The song can be interpreted in many ways and relates to people who have lost something precious and are waiting for someone to understand them.

Shouldn't in the dark for too long now
I've been feeling lost and alone for too long

Never meant to lose what I long for
I didn't intend to become so detached from what I truly want
Never meant to be so up?
It wasn't my intention to be in this hopeless state
