Island Of Doom Lyrics:
Destiny made her way and found you in a room,
They told me, they told me:
To undo the rule of mind and body,
And nature laughed away as their voices grew.
They told me, They told me:
“Clean out the room and bury the body”.
But I know you with a heartbeat
So how does the night feel?
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
“Haven’t walked for days though I wanted to”
You told me, you told me:
“For with every move the feeling follows”,
“In nature’s empty face, I am of little use”,
You told me, you told me:
“I’m just another fool for the earth to swallow”.
But the road through mines will lead you back,
and I will be with you
Before the road of your mind will eat you up,
on your island of doom
Where the voices have all gathered up,
to a choir of fools
But I know my mind will reach you there,
and I will be with you.
Oh I know you with a heartbeat
So how does the night feel?
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
Why you wake me up today?
Why you wake me up today?
One two three four five.

I am one of those ppl who I don’t listen to specific genres, I listen to specific artists within genres and I just love ur music. The composition, ur voice the instruments. I just love it all. I love ur ability to compose something and then it just becomes one; it’s hard to divide all the layers of the music because they’re so perfectly entangled. It’s so magical. And I really like this song. The abstractness of the video, the feeling of the song and the melody. Just everything. I really love when a string instrument comes into ur music cos it just changes the atmosphere or adds to it. It’s a really beautiful piece. I can’t wait for the album. Thank you so much. Your music is a godsend. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Can we also just take a minute to acknowledge that she writes,composes,produces and records most of her music by herself. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

this song seems to be the continuation of "Familiar". I LOVE HOW THE CHOIR SOUNDS! IT GIVES ME THE SAME FEELING AS "FAMILIAR".

[@LittleBeeBee]

I thought the same 😊 The feeling, the energy, the story... Well my personal interpretation of it. They're both my favourite now.

[@amandadutra125]

yeeeees

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

No the story is different. Familiar was about a secret love/affair, and this one is about DEATH of a loved one. Just because vocal tecniques are similar, doesn't mean songs are somehow linked. I mean, she experiments with her vocal in every song, so what they are all conected?)))

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@LittleBeeBee No, that was about secret love affair, this one is about death and grief. Completely different themes and stories. Also, she uses similar vocal techniques and experiments in many songs, not just these two

[@LittleBeeBee]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 It is entirely possible that the loved one she is mourning is the lover she was having a secret affair with! And that is certainly the impression/message I received from the song. Music is subjective, regardless of what the original meaning behind the song/lyrics, it is how it makes you feel, the imagery it evokes within the mind of the listener.

We found it extremely beautiful and mysterious. Two days later I was taking an Uber and the driver asked me what kind of music would I like to listen to and I said „I don’t know, you can choose something” and he chose THIS SONG. I said „wow, I just discovered that song two days ago!” to which he replied with „that’s what I thought” 😲
