Not an Island
Embracing Connectedness: Breaking Isolation
Lyrics
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
We collectively exist, emphasizing unity and togetherness.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
A repetition to emphasize our communal identity.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Highlighting that we are not isolated individuals.
Everybody knows
An assertion that our interconnectedness is widely known.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Reiteration of our shared existence.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Emphasizing the communal aspect once again.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reaffirmation that we are not isolated entities.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our connectedness is common knowledge.
I've been down the road of the narrow minded
The narrator acknowledges a past of narrow thinking.
And I've made choices that have hurt the ones I love
Recognition of choices made that caused pain to loved ones.
I've touched the limits of isolation
An admission of experiencing extreme isolation.
Everybody knows
Reiteration that our interconnectedness is widely recognized.
We're not meant to be like this
Asserting that the current state is not the intended one.
We're not meant to be this
Emphasizing a sense of dissatisfaction with the present condition.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition to stress our shared identity.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emphasizing collective existence.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reiteration that isolation is not our natural state.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our interconnectedness is widely acknowledged.
You've been closing doors that should be wide open
Addressing the act of closing off opportunities for love.
Trying to protect your heart from being unloved
Attempting to shield oneself from the pain of not being loved.
You've learnt to numb the separation
Learning to numb the feeling of being separated from others.
Cos everybody knows
Reiteration that our connectedness is widely recognized.
We're not meant to be like this
Affirming that the current state is not the intended one.
We're not meant to be this
Expressing dissatisfaction with the present condition.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition to emphasize our shared identity.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emphasizing collective existence.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reiteration that isolation is not our natural state.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our interconnectedness is widely acknowledged.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition to stress our shared identity.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emphasizing collective existence.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reiteration that isolation is not our natural state.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our interconnectedness is widely acknowledged.
Not gonna hold back
A commitment not to restrain from expressing the lessons learned.
Gonna stand firm on the lessons we've learnt
Determination to stand firm based on accumulated wisdom.
Linked by the past and the memories made from our better days
Connection through shared history and positive experiences.
We've come to the end of ourselves
Acknowledging a realization or limit in one's individual capacity.
We've come to the end of ourselves
Repetition to emphasize reaching a personal limit.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition to stress our shared identity.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emphasizing collective existence.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reiteration that isolation is not our natural state.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our interconnectedness is widely acknowledged.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition to stress our shared identity.
We are we are, oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of emphasizing collective existence.
Not an island no, oh, oh
Reiteration that isolation is not our natural state.
Everybody knows
A reminder that our interconnectedness is widely acknowledged.
