Isolation
Praga Khan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just don't have a clue
I don't know what to do
But I'm in love with you

I just don't have the guts
To tell you that I'm nuts
There's no one I can trust
Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, cybersonic life

I see you on my screen
My real time fantasy
You're playing tricks on me

My laptop in my bed
You're playing hard to get
Your e-mails make me wet

Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, cybersonic life

I just don't have a clue
I don't know what to do
But I'm in love with you

I just don't have the guts
To tell you that I'm nuts
There's no one I can trust

Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, children of our time




Isolation, children of our time
Isolation, cybersonic life

Overall Meaning

The song "Isolation" by Praga Khan touches on the theme of love in the digital age. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty about a romantic relationship that is taking place entirely online, without any real-life interactions. The singer is clearly infatuated with the object of their affections, but also feels overwhelmed and isolated by the challenges of communication in the cyberspace.


The first stanza expresses the singer's feelings of helplessness and insecurity - they acknowledge their ignorance and lack of clarity about the situation, but also affirm their emotional investment in the other person. The second stanza reveals that the relationship is happening primarily through electronic devices, with the singer relying on their laptop and e-mails to connect with their lover. This creates a sense of distance and detachment, as the physical presence of the partner is absent.


The repeated refrain of "Isolation, children of our time" underscores the broader implications of this kind of romance. The "children of our time" are the generation that has grown up with advanced technology and increasingly relies on it for communication and social interactions. This has led to a kind of isolation or alienation from traditional forms of intimacy and connection. The final line, "cybersonic life", emphasizes the synthetic and impersonal nature of this form of love.


Overall, Praga Khan's "Isolation" paints a vivid picture of the challenges and complexities of modern relationships. The song captures the confusion, longing, and frustration of trying to sustain a meaningful connection in a digital world that can often feel cold and distant.
