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
"Isolanda" 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
