Lyrics
Isolate
Advocating for isolation
Isolate yourself
Encouraging complete isolation from others
From others
Separation from the company of others
From it all
Complete detachment from everything
Or you will suffer
Implying consequences if one doesn't isolate
And die
Implying severe consequences like death
This is not a drill
Stating seriousness, not a simulated situation
This is not hyperbole
Emphasizing that it's not an exaggeration
They are sick
Referring to 'they' as potentially harmful
They are dirty
Characterizing 'they' as unclean or contaminated
Dripping with disease
Emphasizing the severity of 'they' being disease carriers
This is a question
Posing a critical matter to contemplate
Of life or death
Highlighting the gravity of the situation
We're not giving you a choice
Imposing a lack of choice onto the listener
This is a matter
Connecting the situation to a significant issue
Of national security
Linking isolation to national safety
We're just looking out
Asserting a protective motive from authorities
For your best interests
Claiming to act in the listener's best interest
Please oblige
Requesting compliance or cooperation
See we're just looking out
Reiterating the supposed protection of interests
For our best interests
Stating the imposition as a necessity for authorities
And these are orders
Concluding with a statement of authoritative orders
