Marked By Isolation
Fresh out of the bus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

sky, twin of mine, i'll wake the tales inside of you
you want me to shine and solarize
fade in, reinforce my mind
stratosphere, evoke silence in me

speechless in a wasteland
someway i'm evading limerence
and we through a flood of years unite in anarchy
in syzygy align the paths i've seen real





speechless in a lightline
someway embracing limerence

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fresh out of the bus's "Marked by isolation" speak to the experience of feeling alone and disconnected from the world. The first line, "Sky, twin of mine, I'll wake the tales inside of you," suggests a deep connection to nature and the desire to explore it. The second line, "you want me to shine and solarize," speaks to a need for validation and recognition from others. The third line, "fade in, reinforce my mind," suggests a desire to disappear and become a part of something larger. The fourth line, "stratosphere, evoke silence in me," speaks to the desire for quiet and isolation, perhaps as a way to escape from the noise of the world.


The next two lines, "speechless in a wasteland, someway I'm evading limerence," suggest a feeling of being lost and alone in a desolate place. The word "limerence" refers to an obsessive longing for someone or something, suggesting that the singer is trying to avoid becoming attached to anything or anyone. The following lines, "and we through a flood of years unite in anarchy, in syzygy align the paths I've seen real," suggest a hope for connection and unity despite the chaos and uncertainty of the world. Finally, the last line, "speechless in a lightline, someway embracing limerence," speaks to a sense of being overwhelmed by the beauty and wonder of the world, even as the singer tries to avoid becoming attached to it.


Overall, "Marked by isolation" is a haunting and introspective song that speaks to the complex and often conflicting emotions that people experience when they feel disconnected from the world around them.
