An Island Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kelko 

Cover art for An Island lyrics by Chevelle

This song to me is about how vanity / fame consumes a person and how the people around them get tired of it. And how that person doesn't realize that it will eventually fade, and will be left alone.

  • "They said this fun is near the end" And they try to warn this person, but he/she doesn't want to hear it.
  • "You've worn out welcome way too fast"
  • "You better bite your tongue"

That person has become so consumed that they cant see how they have changed or affected those around them negatively .

  • "I think it's got fangs" And they believe that others are just envious of their abilities/luck/wealth.
  • "Watch if they turn, Become the villains"

And so one by one this persons ties with those around him/her are severed until that person is left alone on "An Island"

My Interpretation

@Kelko BUT they want to put someone on the island ... it is NOT about them escaping.

Could be about many things an ex-girlfriend, family member, friends etc. etc.
