Isolation
Maxã¯mo Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't they know we're so afraid
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody's got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
The world is just a little town
Everybody's trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
You're just a human
We're afraid of everyone
We're afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
The world may not have many years
Isolation
Maxïmo Park's "Isolation" is a song that speaks to being lonely and disconnected from the world. The lyrics talk about people being afraid to be alone and needing a home. The track seems to take a look at the world and how it can feel small, with everyone trying to bring one another down. One can imagine that the insight is coming from a young mind that wants to change things but is struggling to find its place in an unsupportive world.
The song starts with a brief mention of how people might view those who are alone, that they should be happy but no one realizes that they are afraid. The theme of fear is prevalent throughout the track as we see how even the sun, something that's usually viewed as positive, is viewed with trepidation. The lyrics move from understanding the fear to speaking of the world and how mean-spirited people can be. The song concludes with an understanding that there is a bigger picture, and that while people may cause pain, it's important to remember they are only human, and the world around us is in a constant state of flux.

My answers, in case they help:
1. Not always, if the work is minimal and you ensure the clamp is not impinging the gingiva, you do not always need to anaesthetise the tooth on which the clamp will be placed. I find it useful to try in the clamp on the tooth before fitting the entire rubber dam to ensure a good and comfortable fit.
2. No, I prefer not to have anything underneath the clamp that could be a choking hazard. If the patient requests it or it is a long appointment, I may place a bite block with floss attached to it for easy retrieval.
3. I've never had a dam tear because a patient bit down. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had a patient try to bite down with the rubber dam on.
4. Yes, the clamp can stop the head of the highspeed/slowspeed handpiece from reaching the ideal position. In these cases, you might have to alter your clamp choice, bur choice, or see if you can prepare the tooth from a different angle.

This video was super helpful! I haven't had the chance to get much rubber dam practice in over the past while due to delays from the pandemic. :S
I think after watching this, I'll have a better handle on the one-step dam process!
