Expressing feeling lost in a turbulent relationship, where the partner is the only source of movement or excitement.
Somehow I still feel like an islandalthough my baby's got me landlocked

Unfulfilling is love without sin unfulfilled is a lust fueled by gin
Love without imperfections is unfulfilling, and lust driven by alcohol lacks true satisfaction.

Choosing to endure the aftermath of a love-induced hangover is preferable to facing loneliness while sober.
