paroles de chanson and so I come to isolation - Moses Sumney

And so I come to isolation
Etymologically, isolation comes from "insula", which means island
I-so-la-tion, isolation which literally means to be islanded
And somebody mentioned this to me the other day
Actually my Cape Verdean hairdresser
Because I asked her
"How do you say this word in Portuguese?"
And she said, "Isolada," like an island
Like you're-you're, you're islanded
And I thought, that's exactly what I've been my whole life
I've been islanded
