Lost Island Man
Lost Island Man: A Tale of Solitude and Discovery
Lyrics
You didn't even notice
You were oblivious to a situation
You were out of focus
Your attention was not sharp
Stranded on an island far from view
Stranded on a remote island, hidden from sight
And by the time you realized
Realized the situation too late
The ship had sailed like 15 miles
The opportunity or chance has passed a considerable distance away
You acted as if you already knew
You pretended as if you were already aware
Lost island man
Addressing someone as a lost person on an island
What's your plan
Asking about their plan or course of action
Will you wait around, till you're found
Questioning if they will wait to be found or if it was intentional
Or is this what you wanted
Is being lost what was desired?
To never be discovered out here
To remain undiscovered in this place
You seem to have made a life here
Seems like the person has created a life on the island
Lost at sea for light years
Lost at sea for a vast amount of time
I don't think I pity you at all
Expressing a lack of pity for the person
Well do you ever miss her
Asking if there's any longing for someone left behind
Don't you know your kids hurt
Acknowledging the emotional impact on children
Wondering if daddy's coming home
Children wondering if their father will return
Lost island man
Repeating the question about the plan
What's your plan
Continuing to inquire about intentions and actions
Will you wait around, till you're found
Asking if waiting to be found is the chosen path
Or is this what you wanted
Wondering if living an isolated life was the intended goal
To live a life out into the blue
To live a life far away in the open sea
Do you recognize all of the rubble in your wake
Recognizing the wreckage left behind
Future drifters following the trails of your mistakes
People in the future following the consequences of mistakes
Don't you know that life exists beyond your little isle
Life extends beyond the confines of the isolated island
I guess you'll always live like, I guess you'll always be like a child
Speculating that the person may always live like a child
Lost island man
Reiterating the question about the plan
What's your plan
Continuing to seek understanding of intentions and actions
Will you wait around, till you're found
Asking if waiting to be found is the chosen path
Or is this what you wanted
Wondering if living an isolated life was the intended goal
To never be discovered out here
To remain undiscovered in this place
No clue
Indicating a lack of understanding or knowledge
