Story behind the song
About "No Man is an Island":
A meditation on John Donne's Meditation XVII, ... .No man is an island, entire of itself;... for whom the bell tolls...
Lyrics
If no man is an island, than where do I belong?
I thought the stars just aligned and, told me what to become.
But it's been a life wasted wondering all to myself
Why I just don't get along.
If no man is an island, than what the hell have I done?
If I ask for forgiveness, lord could I finally be saved?
There like they're paper, in bottles, my confessions, just crash in your waves.
But if it's true I could still be, what I should have been...
What the hell have my dues paid?
If no man is an island, then why do I need to be saved?
Nobody knows, for whom that bell tolls..
With the world at my hands, I can't comprehend all the chances I've blown.
If no man is an Island, then why am I so alone?
