“Island” is an alt-rock song about isolation, burnout, and the quiet realization that sometimes self-rescue is the only rescue coming. Parenthetical title addition is just for posting purposes

Verse1
I have paid the cost
Nothing gained but the world I lost
And I’ve been Lost out here with something to say
I have played the part
Created all this gain for my own net loss
So come congratulate me now
Instead of more pay
And we’ll confabulate about
How we think it’s okay
Chorus
I’ve got to get off of this island
This is not where I am supposed to be
Stuck here surrounded by silence
Could Somebody come rescue me
I don’t know how I ended up here
I'm just a boat that got lost out at sea
Now I’m stuck with my own self-reliance
I’m the only one that can save me
Verse 2
Some would say that we’re lost
But it’s feeling more like a double cross
I’m getting crossed up out here every
day
And we play our parts
Created all this gain for a world we lost
So come congratulate us now
For paving the way
And we’ll confabulate about
How we can change it someday
Chorus
We’ve got to get off of this island
This is not where we’re supposed to be
Stuck here surrounded by violence
And Rescues come with a fee
Don’t know how we all ended up here
I guess a boat that got lost out at sea
Now Stuck with our own self-reliance
There’s no saving us now don’t you see
