- Island LyricsI'm an island
Everyone can see that I'm an island
I've got ocean just about everywhere that I can see
And I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
Can't be too careful bout the friends you keep around you
Some who never let you down
Some who fail you every day
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It amazes me
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I'm an island
Can't you understand me?
I'm an island?
And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be
And that's exactly the thing that's been killing me
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
The rising…
Everyone can see that I'm an island
I've got ocean just about everywhere that I can see
And I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
Can't be too careful bout the friends you keep around you
Some who never let you down
Some who fail you every day
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It amazes me
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
Can't you understand me?
I'm an island?
And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be
And that's exactly the thing that's been killing me
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I would rather fall from grace completely
Than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
The rising…

✔️

✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Carly Simon's 'Island' song vividly reflects solitude and self-reliance, likening one to an oceanic island. The verses communicate a desire to be oneself if necessary, even when troubles accompany, not giving in to others for one's faith. The image of an island personifies self-sufficiency and the fight for uniqueness against outside demands. Island's texts most convey separation, despair, introspection, love lost, and society points out. Conversely, the track at the same time underlines isolation and loneliness together with defiance and self-identity, and trust along with betrayal. The wordings expose the feelings of solitude and internal conflict, which may warrant parental supervision for the very young. Though there are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drugs, the emotionality and intricacy of the themes might still render them unsuitable for certain kids.
