Island
Orinoko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Floating away, islands in the blue
We will remember you, for the rest of our lives
Drifting away, islands in the sun
We are the chosen one's, we are the chosen one's

We are the chosen one's..

[x2]
Put your worries far behind you
There will be a brighter day
Where the morning sun will find you
On an island far away

Floating away, islands in the blue
We will remember you, for the rest of our lives
Drifting away, islands in the sun
We are the chosen one's, we are the chosen one's





We are the chosen one's..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Orinoko's song "Island" seem to evoke a feeling of escapism and nostalgia. The words portray the image of leaving everything behind and finding peace on a distant island, never to return to the worries and stress of daily life. The lines "floating away, islands in the blue, drifting away, islands in the sun" create a picture of a journey to a far-off destination, where the blue of the ocean and the warmth of the sun offer solace and serenity. The repetition of "We are the chosen ones" gives a sense of being special or privileged, perhaps indicating that the singer and listener have found something that others have not.


The lyrics suggest that by leaving all our worries behind and finding our own island, we can escape our problems and live a blissful life. The lyrics also indicate that the journey to the island becomes a poignant memory in our lives that we will remember forever. The chorus, which is repeated twice, reinforces this idea. The lines "Put your worries far behind you, there will be a brighter day" implies that the journey to the island is a way to leave our problems behind and start anew. The words "where the morning sun will find you" suggest that perhaps the island is a metaphor for finding a bright future or a new path to take.

Im 39. Good times, bro, to experience this for the first time (along with all the rave/club culture, pills included) when we were young was incredible...

@m3greatwhite212

Fantastic classic 🔥

@adamdrew4514

This is what trance is about. Close your eyes, feel the layering of the beat then let the vocals subtly take you away!
Before I die, I want to hear this in a club 👌
