Island Lyrics

(This is the Brooklyn bound Q express train, the next stop is-)

I'm just a big dud, foolish from the start
I make a wrong move and the world just falls apart
And there's no cure for this disease
I'm making up, so what's the fuss?

I live inside this head and I'm at war
Hero and villain, same time, keeping score
And I'm not sure what I'm to do inside these walls
Not anymore with my own life

Get off the island and swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my life saver when I'm screaming danger?
I'm screaming danger
Get off the island and swim back to shore

I'm just a victim of unfortunate circumstance
And this was my choice, so shit, well I'll be damned
And I got to stop dwelling on what I could have had
All the times I could of-, oh I just want to-

Get off the island and swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my life saver when I'm screaming danger?

I just can't' stay here any longer, help
I just can't stay here any longer, help
I just can't-

(Get off the island) and maybe, one day
(Get me off the island) from your sand I'll float away
(Get me off the island) and never see you around again
(Get me off the island) island
(Get me off the island) get off the

Get off the island and swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
'Cause in these waters, I'm done for
Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

Where's my life saver when I'm screaming danger?
Where's my life saver when I'm screaming danger?
Where's my life saver when I'm screaming danger?

I'm screaming danger
Screaming danger
Screaming danger (get off the island)

What is the Meaning of Island?

Navigating the turbulent waters of personal struggle and dissatisfaction, this track captures a poignant narrative of feeling trapped and yearning for escape. The protagonist grapples with internal conflict, depicted as a battle between hero and villain within his own mind. Overwhelmed by the pressures of life, symbolized by the metaphorical 'island,' he expresses a desperate need to break free from his current circumstances. The lyrics reflect frustration with financial burdens ("the fee is too big") and inadequate living conditions ("our apartment's too small"), further amplifying his sense of entrapment. Ultimately, the song conveys a powerful message about seeking liberation from an oppressive situation and finding one's way back to stability and peace.
