Isolation
Ghosts of the Void Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It leaves me helpless and hopeless
Separated from reality
There ain't no hope for me in sight
And I feel blind!
As I fall deeper and deeper
Is there a way out?
Before I hit the bottom
Our lives can change to worse
Just in a blink of an eye
No control over anything
Our lives can change to worse
Just in a blink of an eye
No control over anything
When is this over?
When do I feel alright?
I will rise, and I will save myself tonight!
Hopeless one at the edge!
At the fall I have seen myself in a new light!
Hopeless one at the edge!
Inside these walls
Isolated mind dwells
Hallucinations - These creations
They won't leave me rest
My reality is broken now
The eyes in this room are haunting me
The meaning is clear as day
"It will end soon"
Our lives can change to worse
Just in a blink of an eye
No control over anything
Our lives can change to worse
Just in a blink of an eye
No control over anything
Soon this is over
Then I will feel alright!
I will rise, and I will save myself tonight!
Hopeless one at the edge!
At the fall I have seen myself in a new light!
Hopeless one at the edge!
This must come to an end
Only one way out
Just pull the trigger
"I'm finally free"
The lyrics of "Isolation" by Ghosts of the Void convey a profound sense of despair and the overwhelming feeling of being trapped in a dark and hopeless state. The singer describes how darkness consumes the light, leaving them feeling helpless and separated from reality. They express a lack of hope and a feeling of blindness as they continue to fall deeper into this isolated state. The search for a way out before hitting rock bottom becomes a desperate plea for salvation.
The second verse emphasizes how life can suddenly take a turn for the worse in an instant, as if everything is out of our control. The rapidity with which circumstances can change is emphasized by the repetition of "Just in a blink of an eye, no control over anything." This further deepens the sense of powerlessness and vulnerability that the singer feels.
The chorus acts as a cry for relief and a yearning for an end to the suffering. The singer expresses a determination to rise above their circumstances and save themselves from the darkness that surrounds them. The line "Hopeless one at the edge" suggests that they are teetering on the brink, on the verge of succumbing to their despair. However, they also find a glimmer of self-discovery and growth in this process, as they see themselves in a new light during their fall.
The third verse delves deeper into the singer's isolation, both mental and physical. The walls symbolize their confinement, and their mind becomes a secluded space where hallucinations and unsettling creations haunt them relentlessly. The singer realizes that their reality has been shattered, and even the eyes within their surroundings add to their haunting experience. The lyrics hint at a potential escape, with the message being clear that "it will end soon."
In the final chorus, the singer expresses a longing for the isolation to be over and for feelings of wellness to return. The repetition of the phrase "Then I will feel alright" conveys the desire for this suffering to come to an end and for a sense of normalcy to be restored.
The song culminates with a dramatic ending as the singer contemplates the only possible way out of their tormented state. The line "Just pull the trigger, 'I'm finally free'" suggests that the singer is considering suicide as a means of escaping their isolation. The lyrics address the desperation and hopelessness that can sometimes lead individuals to contemplate such drastic measures.
Overall, "Isolation" is a deeply introspective and emotive song that explores the themes of despair, isolation, and the yearning for liberation. It speaks to the profound struggles that can arise when feeling trapped and hopeless, yet it also hints at the potential for personal growth and finding strength within oneself.
