The lyrics to Scarrots's song "Island" describe a serene and idyllic setting, where the singer and their partner enjoy the simple pleasures of sun, sea, and sand. The blue skies and peacefulness of September contribute to the tranquil atmosphere, and as the singer walks down the shore with their feet in the water, they experience a magical feeling. The presence of a lovely nearby island has won over their heart, and with the sun on their face and their partner by their side, they feel completely alone and blissful.
Despite their desire to believe that this moment could last forever, the singer acknowledges that this feeling is temporary. The approaching obligations of October threaten to push the magic away, and the singer wonders how long it will take for them to forget this moment once they return to their daily worries. However, they cling to the memory of this place in their mind, which seems nearby yet so far away from their daily stresses. The rising tide symbolizes a temporary respite from everyday pressures, a moment of escape from reality.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of fleeting happiness and escape from the demands of everyday life. The island is a metaphorical representation of this alternate reality, a place where the singer and their partner can revel in the beauty of their surroundings and each other's company, even if only for a short time.
