Island of Fools Lyrics
Shatter the illusions of the world you believed in long ago
You can't let go
Nothing's sacred, can't survive
You've reached the end on borrowed time
But you must try
Just save yourself, there is nothing to hide but the truth
There's no one else here beside you
Please save yourself, cause' you don't have a moment to lose
And time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own
Crying for redemption, there's a mystery below
You broke your heart and left you scarred
The time is now, there's no recourse,
It's only what you see and what you want
And though it's hard
Just save yourself, there is nothing to hide but the truth
There's no one else here beside you
Please save yourself, cause' you don't have a moment to lose
And time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own
On your own
When will you see the promise of what life should be?
Your destiny
You must believe that courage is all that you need
That's all you need, all you need
Save yourself, there is nothing to hide but the truth
No one else left beside you
Save yourself or you're lost on this Island of Fools
Time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own
You can't let go
Nothing's sacred, can't survive
You've reached the end on borrowed time
But you must try
There's no one else here beside you
Please save yourself, cause' you don't have a moment to lose
And time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own
You broke your heart and left you scarred
The time is now, there's no recourse,
It's only what you see and what you want
And though it's hard
There's no one else here beside you
Please save yourself, cause' you don't have a moment to lose
And time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own
On your own
Your destiny
You must believe that courage is all that you need
That's all you need, all you need
No one else left beside you
Save yourself or you're lost on this Island of Fools
Time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own

I think it's about Brexit (Britain exiting the EU).
"Just save yourself" refers to them leaving in order to get themselves together, without further thought about the other members of the EU.
"And time will tell if you're meant to survive on your own" means we'll see if Brexit really was a good idea. They've sort of isolated themselves through it.
Oh and "Island of Fools" is the U.K.
