What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What am I to you
They say that misery loves company
So won’t you please hide me before they come for me
Sit with me, hold my hand, and comfort me
Tell me that you hear me before they come and muffle me
Before they go and pull the floor out from under me
Tell me that you need me before you sick of loving me
Because I know the day will come when you up and leave
Outside circumstances ending unluckily
Got me on my knees like Jesus Christ please
Save me from myself, I need to fight me
You don’t know me like you used to
Tell me that you’ll get me fore the blues do
I remember thinking that I’ll lose you
I just didn’t know it would all happen so soon
How you change to a stranger
You was my best friend
How you go from my savior
To just another dead end
Stranger from best friend
Savior to dead end
What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What am I to you
What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you, what am I to you
You tell me that you love me and I feel you too
I know it hurts sometimes, man it feels so blue
When I can’t be there to hold you
I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you
I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you
Like I don’t need money, I don’t need food
I don’t need life, I just need you
If happiness my goal then you are too
Cause those two together are two in one
That sticks like glue, that sticks like glue
That sticks like glue, sticks like glue
Remember seeing you man it was so new
Those true eyes got lost in the queue
It took me some time but I always knew
That we would be two and life would be true
What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What am I to you
What is love
What is care
What is life
What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I to you
What am I to you
The lyrics to Red Island's song "Where Are You?" express themes of love, confusion, and longing. The repetition of the lines "Distant fantasies, distant fantasies" creates a sense of distance and unattainability, suggesting that the singer's desires and dreams feel far away and elusive.

The lyrics convey a plea for this person to stick by their side and affirm their importance before they are left alone. There is a reference to Jesus Christ, symbolizing the desperation the singer feels in wanting to be saved from their own inner struggles.
The bridge reflects on a past relationship that has changed and ended abruptly. The singer expresses sadness and surprise at how their once-close connection has turned into a distant and dead-end situation. They question the nature of love, care, and life itself in the face of this loss.

Just curious - do you use codes to get all of those rubies or buy them? It took me forever to complete this island without spending money! Especially the 15 clay pots to complete the statue 🤦🏻♀️
Rebecca Gussenhofen
How are you able to select stuff on the other side of trees? At 1:36 you were able to select the wild flowers on the other side of the tree without cutting the tree down. I've been trying this over & over and can't get it to select it. It's driving me nuts because some of my overflow resources get stuck behind huge trees.
Ananya Gupta
Do we need to open up the two areas with the pits? Seems like the tasks are done once the statue is placed on home island?
Eric Renn
The extra areas are for extra resources and such if you need it or want it. If you're content with just finishing the story, you can skip it.
Ananya Gupta
@Eric Renn ok cool. thank you!
Elliot Deutsch
I opened the first one and there were chests. The 2nd one i felt was a waste of 10 boards bc there were only trees there not even 1 gift or chest. So sad
Ananya Gupta
@Elliot Deutsch yeah thats why I skipped it. Im on forest island and racoon island right now. Wondering if I need to make the 10 ropes for the hut
Elliot Deutsch
