Island
Leslie Clio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone better be here in time
Shouldn't in the dark for too long now
If only I can past so far
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I'm the only one
Again I come
It's like I, I've just begun
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
Someone's gotta come here and find me
Someone's better make up their mind
Never meant to lose what I long for
Never meant to be so up?
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I'm the only one
Again I come
I do rerun
It's like I, I've just begun
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an Island
And I'm standing all alone
In my heart is like an island
And I'm standing all alone
The song "Island" by Leslie Clio is a melancholic and introspective ballad. The lyrics describe a feeling of isolation and loneliness, reflected in the metaphorical repetition of the line "in my heart is like an island, and I'm standing all alone." The singer is reaching out for help, hoping for someone to find them and save them from this emotional isolation. They acknowledge the difficulties of dealing with their own problems and the need for external support to overcome them. The repetition of the phrases "someone's gotta come here" and "someone better be here in time" illustrates the urgency of the singer's need for someone to understand and help them.
The phrase "Never meant to lose what I long for, never meant to be so up?" is slightly unclear, but it could suggest that the singer is questioning why they have lost something important and don't know how to get it back. The repetitive chorus also suggests a sense of frustration and confusion; the singer feels like they are constantly repeating the same cycle and that they are alone in their struggles. However, the phrase "it's like I, I've just begun" seems to offer a glimmer of hope – the singer may feel like they are stuck in a cycle, but they still have the potential to start fresh.
Overall, "Island" is a poignant song that explores feelings of isolation and the search for connection and understanding. The repetition and metaphorical language add depth to Leslie Clio's message about the importance of reaching out for help.
