Lyric discussion by River Wolf 

Cover art for A Most Peculiar Man lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

This has to be one of the most depressing songs ever-at the same time it is very powerful. The other posters have made very intelligent and thoughtful comments on it. No man is an island, and everyone needs contact with others, even if they are shy, introverted, and have some conversational difficulties. Beneath all those, there is usually an interesting person beneath those layers.
