The Song Girl On An Island By Alice Phoebe Lou
The song Girl on an Island by Alice Phoebe Lou, is a hauntingly brilliant song. The lyrics create vivid images that seem to come to life and dance in your head. As the song begins I am far away from the Island, but as the song continues I am standing on the island, my feet buried in the sand and I am looking at into the eyes of an enchanting little girl. The lyrics of this song portray a young girl on an island far away from the rest of the world. She is isolated and no one could reach her no matter how hard they tried. She was alone, but she was also at ease with her situation. This girl represents someone who is an outcast from society due to the fact that she is different, because she is different she has alienated herself. This is why she
is depicted to be on an island. She is alone, but she is comfortable with it, because it gives her time to think. On her own, “her mind would travel multitudes your eye could not conceive.” Even though the girl was comfortable on her ‘island’ it wasn't necessarily healthy for her to be alone. She slowly began to realize that being alone didn’t equal freedom. That in today's society there is no time to be alone with yourself to keep up with the fast ever moving pace of society.
