Isolation
Neon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

every night i'd like to kill my fantasy
every time i fight but i cannot win
maybe i felt your sound in ancient memories
what i need is out of reality

i'd like to see you
but face to face i'm actin' as if i were blind
i'd lke to touch you
but thru my hands nothing remains
i'd like to have you
but i don't know why, i don't know the reason why

isolation, for the rest of my life
isolation, now i'm wonderin' what's the reason why

for my crime of passion i've got no safety
no one will relieve my agony
turn, turn off the light
your ecstasy does make me stay




turn, turn off the light
your ecstasy does make me stay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Neon's song Isolation revolve around the theme of wanting something that is out of reach or not real. The main character talks about how they feel unable to attain their desires and how it leads to a feeling of isolation. The song starts with the line "every night I'd like to kill my fantasy" which shows that the character is aware that their desires are unrealistic and perhaps even harmful. However, they still long for it and are frustrated by their inability to make it a reality. This feeling is further emphasized in the second line, "every time I fight but I cannot win", which shows that the character has been struggling with this desire for a while now, but it still persists.


The character then talks about feeling a connection to someone or something from ancient memories. This line "maybe I felt your sound in ancient memories" is a reference to the idea of past lives or reincarnation, where the character feels like they have a connection to something that is not a part of their current reality. This line also highlights the character's desperation for something that is not real or attainable in their current situation.


The chorus of the song revolves around the feeling of isolation that the character is experiencing. They express a desire to see, touch, and have whatever it is that they are longing for, but feel like they are unable to do so. This feeling of isolation is emphasized by the repetition of the word "isolation" in both the first and second line of the chorus. The character is left with a feeling of frustration and confusion, wondering why they feel this way and what the reason is for their isolation.


Overall, the lyrics to Neon's song Isolation are about the struggle of wanting something that is out of reach or not real. The song captures the feeling of isolation and frustration that comes with this struggle, and highlights the importance of being able to recognize when our desires are unrealistic or harmful.
