The Island
Dr. Crowley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a dirty burlap sack?
Nothing more than a pro hooker
Taking hip shots from the back?
I keep hoping someone will pay enough
To end this suffering
But the last dude that just picked me up
Is really into murdering
With cars just going past?
This guy just doesn't want to splooge
He just wants to attack
Will the suffering end?
Will he untie my hands?
Or will I be
A name on News 12?
Will I suck some dick
Or will I die on Long Island?
Nothing more than tits and a name
Is there more for me
Than my parents' disappointment?
Did any dude give a shit before he came?
Am I a cliche in every way
A long list of dead hoes
My killer just gone with the wind
That's how the story goes
You could call me but
I won't answer my phone
I lived my life full of cum
And I died alone
Cuz I headed to a shallow grave
With cars just going past
The guy Just didn't want to splooge
He wanted to attack
My suffering didn't end
I still had tied up hands
And I became
A name on News 12
Will I suck some dick
Or will I die on Long Island?
Nothing more than tits and a name
Is there more for me
Than my parents' disappointment?
Did any dude give a shit before he came?
If I could've changed my life
I would've done dentistry
I'd be fulfilled
And I'd be happy
It would be worth it
Just to have a head
I just want to no longer be dead
This stupid fucking parkway
With the Atlantic to the south
This landscape of a murder spree
Cuz I had dick in my mouth
I'm a useless body
At least I'll never pay a tax
Yeah, you could say I deserved it
Just kiss my cold dead ass
Will I suck some dick
Or will I die on Long Island?
Nothing more than tits and a name
Is there more for me
Than my parents' disappointment?
Did any dude give a shit before he came?
If I could've changed my life
I would've done dentistry
I'd be fulfilled
And I'd be happy
It would be worth it
Just to have a head
I just want to no longer be dead
The lyrics to Dr. Crowley's song "The Island" tell a haunting and dark story from the perspective of a sex worker who finds herself in a dangerous and potentially deadly situation.

She questions her worth and wonders if anyone has ever cared about her beyond her physical attributes. The lyrics reveal her desperation for someone to pay enough to end her suffering, but instead, she is picked up by a man who has sinister intentions.
The song paints a bleak picture of her fate, hinting at the possibility of being murdered and buried in a shallow grave on Long Island. There is a sense of hopelessness as cars continue to pass by, oblivious to her plight. She questions whether her life will end as just another name on the local news, emphasizing her general feeling of being objectified and reduced to nothing more than her body.
As the lyrics progress, she acknowledges the tragic reality of her circumstances, feeling trapped with her hands tied and unable to escape her imminent demise. She reflects on her life, expressing a desire for a different path, specifically mentioning dentistry as a profession she would have chosen if given the chance. This highlights her longing for a fulfilling life and regrets over the choices she has made.
The lyrics conclude with a bitter resignation, with the singer accepting her fate and expressing defiance towards those who may judge her. She embraces the perception that she deserved her tragic end, challenging anyone who may hold contempt for her.

Line by Line Meaning
Am I doomed to Ocean Parkway
Am I resigned to a life of despair and suffering, forever stuck on Ocean Parkway
In a dirty burlap sack?
Feeling dirty, degraded, and trapped like a worthless object
Nothing more than a pro hooker
Just seen as a disposable prostitute, lacking any value or dignity
Taking hip shots from the back?
Subjected to objectifying and degrading experiences, only being used for sexual pleasure
I keep hoping someone will pay enough
Continuously longing for someone to rescue me from this torment by offering a significant sum of money
To end this suffering
To finally put an end to the ceaseless pain and anguish
But the last dude that just picked me up
The most recent person who engaged me was not seeking pleasure, but rather had ill intentions
Is really into murdering
He derives pleasure from taking lives and causing harm, not from any sexual act
Am I heading to a shallow grave
Am I being taken to a place where I will be buried in a shallow, unmarked grave
With cars just going past?
As cars simply pass by, oblivious to the horrors unfolding
This guy just doesn't want to splooge
This man is not interested in sexual release, but rather in committing violent acts
He just wants to attack
His primary intent is to inflict harm and violence, not to engage in consensual acts
Will the suffering end?
Will this endless suffering and pain ever come to an end?
Will he untie my hands?
Is there a possibility that I will be freed from the restraints that bind me?
Or will I be
Or will I become
A name on News 12?
Will my fate be a tragic headline, just another story covered by News 12?
Will I suck some dick
Will I be forced to perform sexual acts
Or will I die on Long Island?
Is death my inevitable outcome in this unforgiving place?
Nothing more than tits and a name
Reduced to mere physical attributes and a label, devoid of any deeper meaning or worth
Is there more for me
Is there any other purpose or fulfillment awaiting me
Than my parents' disappointment?
Beyond being a constant source of disappointment to my parents
Did any dude give a shit before he came?
Did any man genuinely care about me or my well-being before seeking his own gratification?
Am I a cliche in every way
Am I just a stereotype, conforming to all the expected and tragic patterns?
A long list of dead hoes
Becoming just another statistic among a series of murdered sex workers
My killer just gone with the wind
My murderer has vanished without a trace, disappearing as quickly as the wind
That's how the story goes
This is the grim and predictable narrative that plays out time and time again
You could call me but
Even if you tried to reach out to me, to offer help or support
I won't answer my phone
I am beyond reach, beyond saving, unable to respond or escape my fate
I lived my life full of cum
My existence was defined by sexual encounters and pleasing others
And I died alone
In the end, I faced my demise in complete isolation and loneliness
Cuz I headed to a shallow grave
Because I was taken to a burial site where I would be carelessly thrown in a shallow grave
With cars just going past
As indifferent vehicles continued their journey, oblivious to my tragic ending
The guy just didn't want to splooge
The person who claimed my life had motives far more sinister than mere sexual pleasure
He wanted to attack
His true desire was to inflict harm and violence upon me
My suffering didn't end
Even in death, I was not granted relief from my torment and agony
I still had tied up hands
The restraints continued to hold me captive, even in the afterlife
And I became
And I transformed into
A name on News 12
My tragic fate became a headline, a story to be shared by News 12
If I could've changed my life
If I had the opportunity to alter the course of my existence
I would've done dentistry
I would have pursued a career in dentistry, chosen a path of fulfillment and happiness
I'd be fulfilled
I would feel content and satisfied with my choices and accomplishments
And I'd be happy
Experiencing genuine joy and fulfillment in my life
It would be worth it
The sacrifices and effort would have been justified and meaningful
Just to have a head
Simply to possess a physical form, to exist as a complete and whole being
I just want to no longer be dead
I yearn for the chance to escape the realm of the deceased, to reclaim life and vitality
This stupid fucking parkway
This infuriating and contemptible roadway
With the Atlantic to the south
Adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean in the southern direction
This landscape of a murder spree
This environment marked by repeated acts of murder and violence
Cuz I had dick in my mouth
Because I was engaged in a sexual act at the time, making me vulnerable and targeted
I'm a useless body
I am now nothing more than a lifeless and insignificant corpse
At least I'll never pay a tax
At the very least, I am free from the burden of paying taxes in death
Yeah, you could say I deserved it
Some may argue that I deserved this fate, that my actions or circumstances warranted such an outcome
Just kiss my cold dead ass
Expressing defiance and resistance in the face of judgment and condemnation
If I could've changed my life
If I had the power to alter the course of my existence
I would've done dentistry
I would have pursued a different path, one that would have brought me fulfillment and happiness
I'd be fulfilled
I would experience a sense of completeness and contentment
And I'd be happy
Finding genuine joy and satisfaction in my chosen pursuits
It would be worth it
The sacrifice and effort would have been justified and rewarding
Just to have a head
Simply to possess a physical presence, to be alive and conscious
I just want to no longer be dead
My ultimate desire is to escape the state of death and reclaim life
