Isabella, Isabella, I heard you crying through the walls
What's the matter? What's the matter? All the neighbors hear it down the hall- I think this is from like the perspective of a best friend or a neighbor asking Isabella why she's always crying.
And I didn't want to be the first to say
Everyone around here thinks you're crazy
And I didn't want to be the first to say you shouldn't stay
Isabella run away- I think this verse is the girl telling Isabella that everyone knows how depressed she is, that it's starting to destroy her and that she's starting to go insane. She's telling her that she needs to run away from the prison she's trapped in that's in her mind.
All your heroes are your records
You play 'em loud but I don't mind the noise
Why ya hiding? Why you staying?
Maybe you don't think you have a choice- I think now she's saying Isabella the only escape you have is through music. Why are you hiding here and why are you staying here instead of chasing your dreams? Maybe it's because you don't think you can do it.
And I didn't want to tell you face to face,
That your mom and dad are straight up, crazy
It's really hard for me to say, that you shouldn't stay
Isabella run away
Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger, come awake
Isabella run away- in this part she's saying that she knows that Isabella's parents are holding her back that she needs to get away quick.
Out the window of your bedroom
Climb on down the fire escape
I left son money and a ticket
For the first time in your life don't be afraid- she's saying that she's going to help her get away, help her escape.
And maybe I will be the first to say
That you are stronger than you know
You'll find your way
Isabella run away- she's telling Isabella that she's strong and she can do it. Stronger than she thinks and that she's going to be okay. To run away. This what she expresses throughout the rest of the song.
