I think the people who are saying that might be referring to the music video, which is sooooooo oddly uncomfortable. The comments in the music video are disable, so maybe they came here to vent.
I think the reason people say it's creepy is because it kind of plays around the concept of mortality which is one of the scariest things, mortality itself is the reason why anybody is scared of anything.
Why have I never heard anyone talking about the last 8 seconds of the song? It's such an extreme contrast to the rest of it and it's very surreal and creepy
@@BogusmanTheSwagman there is a certain point where Isle Unto Thyself ends and Black Rainbows begins, I think that just on the album version you cant just have a track called ‘transition’ so it gets stuck at the end of Isle Unto Thyself, similar to how Welcome to Tally Hall transitions creepily into Taken for a Ride

I love this song because I can't help but imagine it as some dude getting tricked into becoming an immortal entity (a star?) who now has to watch the goings-on of the entire universe. He watches all of humanity's misdeeds, then watches them go extinct, watches the very solar system they lived in turn to dust. Then he watches it all happen again, watches a new earth form, and can do nothing as humanity is reborn to continue the cycle. And he can never truly find the answer of WHY? WHY is this sinful species given chance after chance to exist? WHY do they keep coming back?
Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known You were an isle unto thyself You had a heart you hadn't felt Why would it hurt me Or was it real It was the night we had to part We were afraid to miss the start What did it matter Why would it matter And could we heal Blinding shining star You won't see so far Know what can't be shown Feel what can't be known I was a victim of magic Apollo catching my breath as I bled on the ground Somebody called me to follow I followed thinking aloud without hearing the sound Then all the planets fell to dust Lonely departing after us Gone not forgotten Long but forgotten old lore In every element of life Love camouflaging under strife or other matters Minds over matters let there be more Maybe you'll exit tomorrow The sorrow sweeping you off as your island replies Sudden invincible flowing A river clearer than all thou might view with thine eyes Why did fire-erupted lands arrive Why did murderous animals survive Why did we deserve to be revived Why was any and everything alive

This song resonates so deeply I'm honestly considering saying fuck it and just being like. This song Is Me bc that's the closest I can get to wording it
"The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright For shadows bring out all the darkest traits of men. The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight. Abyssal fog doth meander, lost in flight Singing in the breeze like tender wren The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright. Enthralling, silent wisps doth pierce the veil of light as fam'lies cluster close to sleep, time and time again The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight. The fog belies the deepest shades of night, a void of which no single man could ken The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright A flowing inky mist obscures my sight, Enveloped in shadows, my good friend That loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight. So I'll take up this wretched pen, despite the shades of dark, this blackened, churning fen, The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright; The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight." -Lamplight
I think that this song is about evolution and how people try to deny it... it just feels like that you know, if you can wright evidence in the reply section that would be well appreciated.
I believe it is about meeting someone, who they liked, who is unsure if the feelings are reciprocated. That's why the key word "were" an isle unto thyself. The song later says that your island "replied". It also talks about being a victim of magic. A metaphor for the person they like putting them under a spell. This is built upon with Apollo stealing his breath. The god of words(off the top of my head) had prevented him from talking as he bled on the ground. Apollo is seen as warding off evil as well, so it could be that the person they like is "pure" and almost god like. I believe the bleeding on the ground is a metaphor for being hurt by the person leaving, as it later says that the person might exit tomorrow, (and that such an event is sorrowful) as well as some other things hinting at it("it was the night we had to part")
So, since Hawaii: Part II is about 9/11, is this song about the actual falling of the towers and the aftermath, since it is the first song of the album?
Only Variations on a Cloud, the bonus track is about 9/11 as far as I know, all the other "main" songs in Hawaii: Part II tell another story which I don't know by heart right now but I bet there are some interpretations somewhere on HPII videos :D
@@AZMindroma Joe confirmed all or at least most Miracle Musical songs are about 9/11 to some degree. While Hawaii Part II is its own story, it's 100% inspired by 9/11, and it's not confirmed but I believe this song is about the main character being devastated about the event.
I've seen people referring to this song as creepy?? to me it's straight up wholesome lol
same!
I think the tone of just the music itself is kinda creepy but I agree that the lyrics are wholesome
“Catching my breath as I bled on the ground”

On the full album, it smoothly transitions to the next song.
But for just one, they have to cut it off somewhere, thus creating that effect.

I know! I don't remember ever hearing that before so that was so creepy
@@LucyWest370 what do you mean wtth transitions creepily?
It was supposed to be Black Rainbow after the transition, that's why it feels so out of place

Just name yourself Isle Unto Thyself, that is the most obvious choice.
If you name yourself after this song I'm just going to think of the Roman god lmao

Blinding shining star
You won't see so far
Know what can't be shown
Feel what can't be known
You were an isle unto thyself
You had a heart you hadn't felt
Why would it hurt me
Or was it real
It was the night we had to part
We were afraid to miss the start
What did it matter
Why would it matter
And could we heal
Blinding shining star
You won't see so far
Know what can't be shown
Feel what can't be known
I was a victim of magic
Apollo catching my breath as I bled on the ground
Somebody called me to follow
I followed thinking aloud without hearing the sound
Then all the planets fell to dust
Lonely departing after us
Gone not forgotten
Long but forgotten old lore
In every element of life
Love camouflaging under strife or other matters
Minds over matters let there be more
Maybe you'll exit tomorrow
The sorrow sweeping you off as your island replies
Sudden invincible flowing
A river clearer than all thou might view with thine eyes
Why did fire-erupted lands arrive
Why did murderous animals survive
Why did we deserve to be revived
Why was any and everything alive

"The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright
For shadows bring out all the darkest traits of men.
The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight.
Abyssal fog doth meander, lost in flight
Singing in the breeze like tender wren
The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright.
Enthralling, silent wisps doth pierce the veil of light
as fam'lies cluster close to sleep, time and time again
The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight.
The fog belies the deepest shades of night,
a void of which no single man could ken
The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright
A flowing inky mist obscures my sight,
Enveloped in shadows, my good friend
That loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight.
So I'll take up this wretched pen, despite
the shades of dark, this blackened, churning fen,
The moon cuts through the dark, so soft and bright;
The loneliness of life kept back by candles left alight."
