Island

The song Island by Woosung addresses themes of loneliness, fear, and insecurity in a romantic relationship. The lyrics describe a lonely island that symbolizes a person's isolation and emotional detachment. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the distance between them and their partner, feeling disconnected and distant. They ponder what joy and true love are, alluding to a sense of uncertainty and confusion. The singer feels empty and vulnerable, comparing their pain to that of a crying baby. The line "feeling twenty" might refer to a sense of immaturity or youthfulness, underscoring the emotional unrest caused by the absence of their loved one.

In the second verse, the singer expresses their desire for love but admits to being afraid of happiness. They fear that their relationship will eventually dissolve, leaving them alone because nothing is permanent. They question whether their partner truly loves them, leading to their own feelings of insecurity and confusion. The chorus repeats and emphasizes the enduring feelings of emptiness and vulnerability in the absence of their partner. References to the passage of time and being trapped in the past suggest that it is difficult to move on from the relationship.

The outro serves as a conclusion and repeats the feeling of emptiness that the partner experiences.
