Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, follow your desires
Oh, take me higher
Oh, follow your desires
I say
I'm living in my fantasies
How beautiful
Never been closer
Take control of my mind
Pull me into a hole
I feel they're coming closer
Coming closer
I'm gonna take you higher
To a higher level
I'm gonna take you higher
Take me to another place
To a higher place
Take me to another place
To a higher place
I say
Don't ever come too close to me
Please tell me why
Vultures circle high above
Can't see anything
Trust me you don't want to be close
Too close to me
Take me higher
I desire
The fire
The fire
Gotta take you higher
To a higher level
You gonna take me higher
Higher, higher
Gotta take you higher
To a higher level
Gotta take you higher, Oh
Take me to another place
To a higher place
Take me to another place
(Where we meet face to face)
(Where we see each other)
Oh, take me to another place
So you gonna take me higher
Oh, I gonna fire your desires
Oh, we gonna make it higher
So I follow your desires
I say, I say, I say, I say, I say, I say,
Where we meet face to face
Where we see each other
Where we meet face to face
Where we meet face to face
Where we see each other
Where we meet face to face
The lyrics of Mother's Cake's song "Isolation" convey a sense of longing for escape and connection. The repetitive chorus of "You gonna take me higher, Oh, follow your desires" suggests a desire to transcend current circumstances and reach a state of elevation. This can be interpreted as a call to pursue one's dreams and passions, to break free from the confines of isolation and find fulfillment.
The verses depict a feeling of being trapped in one's own thoughts and memories. The line "I'm living in my fantasies, how beautiful, isolating memories, never been closer" suggests that the singer seeks solace in their own daydreams, finding a sort of twisted comfort in the isolation it brings. However, there is also a sense of vulnerability and fear, as evident in the line "Vultures circle high above, can't see anything. Trust me, you don't want to be close, too close to me." This could be a warning to others to keep their distance, implying that the singer may be guarded or carrying emotional baggage.
Overall, "Isolation" appears to be a reflection on the complexities of human connection and the desire for escape from the confines of the mind. It explores the struggle to balance the need for personal space and the yearning for meaningful relationships.
