Duskwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna make it right
Gonna take a ride
Gonna make it right
Riding off the world
We'll make it good
Find the sunshine
Take a toke on a sunny day
Guides us into the fire
Fall into a dreamstate of the mind
Take a toke on a sunny day
Feel a shock to the system
Ascend through the astral planes of time
Came in from the skies
Freefall to the sands
Confide in the sun
Now I'm off to my kingdom some
Take a toke on a sunny day
Guides us into the fire
Fall into a dreamstate of the mind
Take a toke on a sunny day
Feel a shock to the system
Ascend through the astral planes of time
I fear we'll lose it all
They may take it all
I fear we'll lose it all
They'll take it all if I miss the call
Spiral into the abyss if I miss the call
Spiral into
Spiral into the abyss if I miss the call
Spiral into
Spiral into
Spiral into
Spiral into
Spiral into
The lyrics to Duskwood's song "The Island" seem to reflect a sense of adventure, hope, and a desire for escape. The repetition of "Gonna take a ride, gonna make it right" suggests a determination to seek a better life or experience. The phrase "Riding off the world, we'll make it good" further emphasizes this desire for a fresh start or a break from the mundane.
The imagery of finding sunshine but being lost from one's own mind adds a touch of ambiguity to the lyrics. It could imply that while pursuing this new journey, there may be a risk of losing oneself in the process. The lines "Take a toke on a sunny day, guides us into the fire" and "feel a shock to the system, ascend through the astral planes of time" suggest a willingness to embrace new experiences, even if they come with challenges or uncertainty.
The second verse continues with a theme of transformation and escape. The lines "Came in from the skies, freefall to the sands" convey a sense of arriving from above, possibly symbolizing a departure from a previous life or circumstance. "Confide in the sun, now I'm off to my kingdom some" implies a journey towards a personal paradise, a place where one can feel empowered and at peace.
The final section of the song introduces a sense of fear and potential loss. The lines "I fear we'll lose it all, they may take it all" hint at the possibility of losing the newfound freedom and happiness. The repeated phrase "spiral into the abyss if I miss the call" suggests that not seizing or recognizing an opportunity might lead to a downward spiral or a missed chance at fulfillment.
Overall, "The Island" portrays the longing for adventure, the pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery, and the fear of losing what has been gained along the way.

Gonna take a ride
Embarking on a journey
Gonna make it right
Ensuring that everything goes well
Riding off the world
Dissociating from reality
We'll make it good
We'll make it pleasant
Find the sunshine
Discover happiness
But lost from the mind that's mine
But disconnected from my own thoughts and feelings
Take a toke on a sunny day
Inhale a substance on a pleasant day
Guides us into the fire
Leads us towards danger
Fall into a dreamstate of the mind
Enter a state of imagination
Feel a shock to the system
Experience a sudden impact
Ascend through the astral planes of time
Rise through different dimensions of time
Came in from the skies
Arrived from above
Freefall to the sands
Plunge into the desert
Confide in the sun
Seek solace in sunlight
Now I'm off to my kingdom some
Now I'm heading towards my own realm
I fear we'll lose it all
Afraid of losing everything
They may take it all
Others could seize everything
They'll take it all if I miss the call
They'll take it all if I fail to respond
Spiral into the abyss if I miss the call
Plunge into a deep and dark place if I fail to respond
Spiral into
Descend continuously
Spiral into the abyss if I miss the call
Plunge into a deep and dark place if I fail to respond
Spiral into
Descend continuously
Spiral into
Descend continuously
Spiral into
Descend continuously
Spiral into
Descend continuously
