Islands
Jackie Mendoza Lyrics

We took a car to a plane to a boat
We embarked on a journey which involved transitioning between different modes of transportation to reach our destination

We sailed down the Pacific Ocean
Our travel involved navigating a vast body of water known as the Pacific Ocean

There's no place that I'd rather go
I yearn for new experiences and adventures beyond what I have already encountered

Than somewhere that I've never been before
The excitement of discovering uncharted territory is what I crave the most

I wanna go somewhere that I've never been before
The allure of the unknown beckons me to seek out new destinations

Mother, father, sister, brother, and me
I was accompanied on this journey by my immediate family members

Jumping into the water, swimming
We engaged in the activity of swimming while submerged in water

With tropical penguins
We encountered penguins that hail from tropical climates

Never wanna leave the Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands were so captivating to us that we couldn't bear the thought of departing from them

My head is in the clouds
My imagination is soaring and I am lost in a dreamlike state of mind

This mountain is high enough to touch the sky
The mountain I am referencing is impressively tall and towers above me in a way that feels surreal

Oh, don't chase me
Please do not pursue me because I am constantly in motion

I'm always on the go, no direction
I am frequently moving to different places without a clear destination or purpose

But everything's flowin'
Despite the lack of direction, I take comfort in the fluidity and spontaneity of my movements

No, don't miss me
Please do not feel a sense of longing for my presence

I'm always on the go
I am frequently moving from place to place without remaining in one location for an extended period of time

Never comin' home
It is unlikely that I will ever return to a specific place I may have visited in the past

I took a telescope to my eye
I brought a device known as a telescope close to my face to observe celestial objects

See the stars light up the sky
While peering through the telescope, I was able to witness the radiance emitted from stars in the night sky

I hear the sound of the rising tide
I am able to perceive the acoustic reverberations associated with the influx of seawater from the ocean

(I feel you here with me)
I am emotionally connected to the world around me and I sense a metaphysical presence accompanying me
