David Bowie - isolation

고독과 상실감 속에서 사랑을 간절히 원하며, 그 사랑이 자신에게 필요하다는 이야기를 전한다
화자는 사랑이 없이는 온전한 자신이 되지 못함을 느끼고, 그리움과 갈증이 가득한 상황을 묘사한다
결국, 그 사랑을 통해 진정한 자유와 행복을 찾고자 한다

Needed you, you were only using
Needing you just tore me down
And here I stand in isolation
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar plain and sweet
Did your mother ever tell you
That the joyful are the free?
I need some lovin' like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin' like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand (Isolation, isolation) In isolation (Isolation, isolate-I-I)
My empty hands (Isolation, isolation) In isolation (Isolation, uh!)
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar cause it's my way
Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin' like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin' like a fastball needs control
Here I stand (Isolation, isolation) In isolation (Isolation, isolate-I-I)
My empty hands (Isolation, isolation) In isolation (Isolation, isolate-I-I)
Strike up the band (Isolation, isolation) In this proud land (Isolation, isolate-I-I)
