Isolation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When all is lost to you inside
When all the darkness takes the light
The ritual, it has begun
And now you tear away from everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
Disconnected, so alone, yeah
Sever ties from all you know

[Chorus]
Isolation
Brings you to the end
Until you love again, oh
Isolation
If you could only see
What will come to be, yeah

[Verse 2]
Justify, you waste away
You dare to dream but still you're too afraid
And now you're broken and deceived
Lost to live this cruel reality

[Pre-Chorus]
You're disconnected, so alone
Sever ties from all you know
[Chorus]
Isolation
Brings you to the end
Until you love again, oh
Isolation
If you could only see
What will come to be, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Maybe you'll stand
Maybe you'll give and break to find another way
And make things better
Maybe you'll find
A life you can live and learn to love along the way
And make things better
(And make things better)

[Chorus]
Isolation
Brings you to the end
Until you love again, oh
Isolation (isolation)
If you could only see
What will come to be, yeah
[Chorus]
Isolation (isolation)
Brings you to the end
Until you love again, oh
Isolation (isolation)
If you could only see
What will come to be

[Outro]
You're disconnected, so alone
What will come to be
You're disconnected, so alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Loneliness is detrimental to our life. Some people accept an isolated lifestyle because of addiction (drugs, internet, etc.). Addiction can lead to shame, guilt, and fear of being judged by others, so people hide, they “waste away”, and this becomes a “ritual” in their lives. Some people are afraid to love themselves and be more than who they are.
