      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.

      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.

      @@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

      @@alankiittyno but the song is a continuation of The Mind Electric, which is - as you can tell - about shock therapy. If you want to know more since Hawaii Part II is one of the most cryptic albums I’ve ever seen, there’s a couple deep dive videos. They all mostly come to different conclusions, but they’ll help you get a grasp of the general themes if you’d be into that stuff.
      I’ve found Miracle Musical maybe around 8-10 months ago, and I had no clue what I was missing without this symbolism heavy masterpiece and magnum opus of Joe Hawley, which you may also know from the band Tally Hall, and wrote songs that you may be familiar with like Hidden in the Sand, The Bidding, and Ruler of Everything.
      If you already knew about all this before, sorry for over explaining, but if this is new information to you then go on and enjoy some of the best music you’ve never heard(but don’t keep your expectations too high, Tally Hall in particular prides itself with being very weird and silly, while still throwing in songs that are heavy with symbolism and existential themes)😊

    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

    "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."

      @tfw8738 2 года назад +4

      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")
