and so I come to isolation

Moses Sumney

作曲 : Moses Sumney/Taiye Selasi

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.
