John Lennon - Isolation Lyrics






People say we got it made.
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation.

We're afraid to be alone,
everybody got to have a home.
Isolation.

Just a boy and a little girl,
trying to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.

The world is just a little town,
everybody trying to put us down.
Isolation.

I don't expect you to understand,
after you've caused so much pain.
But then again, you're not to blame.
You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

We're afraid of everyone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation

The sun will never disappear,
but the world may not have many years.
Isolation.

    I love you John Lennon! ❤😍❣

  7. L.... ....

    this is one of the greatest albums ever. Thematic, consistent and honest.

  8. m.... ....

    Opinions are like butt holes. We all have one.. To me, this song has much more to do then just the context/lyrics he's written. Forget, "Just a boy and girl trying to change the whole wild world" The song deals with dysfunctional personal relationships one has had, but never addresses a remedy. ., Especially concerning each of us. People are becoming more isolated from each other. Now everyone communicates via impersonal electronic gadjets, phones, etc. There is a dysfunctional aspect using modern modes of communication. Bottom line? Educate/ Learn, follow your Heart

  9. D.... C....

    I am listening this song deeply after the airplane crash in Iran, when the military of regime caused the death of 178 innocent people. This is exactly explain that sad tragedy . When military killed innocent passengers and young boys and girls protested against them in streets, they shot them and didn’t want to be blamed. They said we were courage and honest enough to say it was our mistake and stop talking about victims of insane. There insane 😔 now I am afraid of everything and everyone more than sun. John u knew all of these 😔

  10. f.... ....

    is he using trumpets in the background?

  11. S.... S....

    Yeah, I haven't listened to John Lennon in the longest of times, and I couldn't stop thinking about this song when I woke up. When I started listening to it again, it brought me to tears, and I can't exactly think why it would...

  12. �.... ....

    Isolation

    People say we got it made,
    Don't they know we're so afraid
    Isolation,
    We're afraid to be alone.
    Everybody got to have a home.
    Isolation.

    Just a boy and a little girl
    Trying to change the whole wide world.
    Isolation,
    The world is just a little town.
    Everybody trying to put us down.
    Isolation.

    I don't expect you to understand,
    After you caused so much pain,
    But then again you're not to blame.
    You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

    We're afraid of everyone.
    Afraid of the sun.
    Isolation.
    The sun will never disappear,
    But the world may not have many years.
    Isolation.

  13. C.... E....

    What a true masterpiece! Lennon was a genius!

  14. S.... C....

    John miss you
    ♥️🎸🎹🎙️🎼🎤💔

  15. p.... c....

    It's about being separated from Paul.

  16. a.... ....

    I always felt like his hippie era interviews where he was always brash and sharp tongued is so contrasted by the lightness of the verses and chorus... and then the middle eight, the anger, comes in and you feel his grit and frustration.

  17. J.... S....

    The song that defines these modern times was released in 1970

  18. B.... S....

    Suck on this Mr Dylan !!!!!😼😸😹😻

  19. W.... O....

    Tô meio triste, hoje.

  20. N.... ....

    Pinched the first line intonation for 'People say I'm crazy' a decade later.

    N.... ....

    Correct! Very perceptive.

  21. A.... P....

    This song is made to be heard with headphones and high volume

  22. I.... G....

    llega aca por recomendacion indirecta de Ximena Sariñana

  23. M.... M....

    Don’t worry,

    He won’t get far on foot.

  24. G.... K....

    One of the best post Beatles,Lennon song!Thoughtful lyrics and great sound of piano.
    Masterpiece album.

  25. C.... .....

    Crushi 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤

  26. g.... ....

    No one does it better in 2019... A great album, no matters when you listen to it!

  27. J.... C....

    As l lay here on my bed in a dark place, I think of times that make me think of times.... here I am again... in isolation

  28. a.... ....

    This whole album is incredibly personal, pretty much therapy for Lennon. Anyone who knows about Lennon's childhood can't listen to Mother without realising how tormented he was for much of his life.

  29. O.... M....

    Adoro essa canção de John

  30. B.... S....

    *Happy birthday boss ❤ 1940-infinty🙏*

  31. B.... S....

    An absolute masterpiece from John. One of my personal favourite Lennon solo tracks.

  32. E.... J....

    Has anyone heard Soldier Boy by the Beatles

  33. t.... ....

    GENIUS!!!!!

  34. F.... ....

    Letra en español:

    Toda la gente dice que lo tenemos hecho
    ¿Acaso ellos no saben que tenemos tanto miedo?
    Aislamiento....
    Tenemos miedo de estar solos
    Todo el mundo tiene que tener una casa
    Aislamiento...
    Sólo un niño y una niña
    Tratando de cambiar el mundo entero
    Aislamiento...
    El mundo es sólo un pequeña pueblo
    Todo el mundo tratando de anotarnos
    Aislamieeeento...
    No esperó que entiendas
    Después de haber, causado tanto dolor
    Pero de nuevo, no tienes la culpa
    No eres más que un ser humano
    Una víctima de la locura...
    Tenemos miedo de todo el mundo
    Miedo del Sol
    Aislamiento...
    El sol nunca desaparecerá
    Pero el mundo no podrá tener muchos años
    Aislamieeeeento....

  35. E.... M....

    Oh Gott ist das schön. Ganz große Sache. Ich liebe dich John. Ich liebe dich, Alter!

  36. A.... K....

    Best voice in the Beatles

  37. i.... ....

    It's a masterpiece... Beautiful song.

  38. B.... A....

    Ringo's drumming is sublime

    B.... A....

    yes it is

  39. B.... C....

    You want to hear him singing some honest reality listen to cold turkey

    B.... C....

    Bob Cowles Jr I love that so g

  40. W.... E....

    Another level man....another level

  41. M.... M....

    people say we've got it made...

    M.... M....

    Don't they know we're so afraid?

  42. M.... E....

    Lennon was a MASTER songwriter and musician.

    Lost songs like this go practically unnoticed bc of his massive talent.

    It's not lost on me.

  43. k.... ....

    The album credits in the video description shows John Lennon and Phil Spector as producers, and Yoko Ono as Producer, Unkown, Other . Yeah, that's about right.

  44. s.... p....

    John's best work!

  45. T.... D....

    ...Everybody got to have phone....Dadeedeedada

  46. s.... p....

    Great song from John, like so many!

  47. A.... M....

    I don't expect you, to understand

    After you caused so much pain

    But then again, you're not to blame

    You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

  48. l.... t....

    Parabéns pela compilação.

  49. B.... S....

    John at his best. Legend!

  50. R.... T....

    Founds memories from when I was 16 yrs old. Where did the years go?

  51. D.... B....

    Possibly the best song off John's greatest solo album.

  52. W.... w....

    1:58 Classic Lennon

    W.... w....

    This is the best Part he screams I wish it would be longer

  53. M.... B....

    M.... B....

  54. Y.... S....

    i really envy you guys
    you guys talks about what you did when you heard this song for the first time
    im just lying on my bed and watching youtube while hearing this masterpiece for the first time

    Y.... S....

    Now you have your story.

    Y.... S....

    It just sad we don't have song writers like this much anymore. Music back then was different when you first heard it. Listen to Spoon do a awesome cover of this.

    Y.... S....

    Revel in that moment. It's yours.

    Y.... S....

    Hey Yeongjin Sim, many months passed, how's life?

  55. M.... T....

    Bella melodía, y hermosa letra.Gracias John, por todo tu amor, al planeta tierra.Bendiciones.

  57. M.... B....

    I just love the piano on this it sounds so awesome
    You never hear this one ..ya know?
    Rip working class hero...you changed my life
    This song is it, Lennon is Rock and Roll

  58. R.... Z....

    !Then again, you're not to blame, you're just a human, a victim..of the insaaanne."
    Lennon es el padre de la baladas más tristes.
    John, genius and a human being. It's really that simple.

  62. E.... R....

    Sounds like the gunners dream by pink floyd

    E.... R....

    Is the other way around actually 😁

  63. C.... M....

    Given nothing.
    Always expecting something.
    Your rules are always changing.
    I’ve given everything.
    Still I’m nothing…
     
    Looking for future that will never be.
    It was taken away.
    Right in front of me.
     
    No where to go.
    I stand alone.
    They came from no where.
    Grabbed control.
     Coming for me.
     
    Another day.
    I try to stay away.

  64. K.... S....

    71 morons don’t like this, well, let me think, ‘cos they can’t!

  65. T.... S....

    Dearest John,
    from All of us 4ever.

  67. i.... l....

    Traten de ver el video " Jhon Lennon, el más grande "... mucha suerte!

  68. T.... w....

    John, genius and a human being. It's really that simple.

  69. T.... H....

    As a recluse, I can easily associate myself with this song by Legend Lennon.

    T.... H....

    I am a recluse too and that's the way I like it. I prefer my own company, at least I am honest with myself.

  70. j.... ....

    Fuck you mark chapman!

  71. G.... ....

    !Then again, you're not to blame, you're just a human, a victim..of the insaaanne."

  72. J.... S....

    EL GENIO JOHN LENNON.

  73. x.... ....

    John Lennon was incredibly naive, and at times very cruel, but he was also an idealist, which I respect; we needed realism in those times, as well as the present. Screw all eternal optimists AND pessimists. There is only ONE truth, and it cannot (must not) be coated with sugar or vinegar. Humans are a seriously flawed creation, and being as such, we cannot help ourselves sometimes. But we can try... will we? Realism is a bumpy road, but at the end of the road, you have a clear conscience.

    x.... ....

    Idealism and realism are very different world views. That being said I think he oscillated between the two.

  74. I.... B....

    This song I think predicts his death he says I don’t expect you to understand after caused so much pain but then again your just a human a victim of the insane
    Mark David champmen a insane he doesn’t understand

    I.... B....

    Nope. He was in primal therapy reliving his childhood traumas...parents, family, teachers who caused the pain.

  75. c.... ....

    listened to this song for the first time on the roof of my house while it was snowing a few months ago. the snow silently fell, blanketing the forest floor of my backyard, a single hawk gliding through the sky...i had never felt so much peace in being alone. my favorite by lennon for that very reason. thank you for such a beautiful song.

  76. J.... ....

    I am amazed and intrigued by the brutally honest and truthful feelings which were dwelling not only in John Lennon but in many of us during the course of our lives. R.I.P John Lennon. You have made your mark not only for your generation, but for each and every succeeding generation.

    ОТЧУЖДЕНИЕ
    (эквиритм-перевод)

    Судят все как мы чудим,
    Но наш страх известен им?
    А-а-а,
    Отчуждение.
    Одиночество кругом,
    Всюду каждый в свой забился дом -
    А-а-а,
    Отчуждение.

    Мальчик с девочкою мы,
    Лишь встряхнуть пытались мир -
    А-а-а,
    Отчуждение.
    Мир - как мелкий городок,
    Нас давил в нём кто как мог -
    А-а-а, а-а-а,
    Отчуждение!

    Привык, что меня вам не понять,
    Боли за вас мне не унять,
    Пришлось принять всех вас опять,
    Ведь вы лишь жертвы, что разум мир стал терять.

    Нас пугает всё вокруг
    И солнечный круг -
    А-а-а,
    Отчуждение.
    Хоть не исчезнет солнца свет,
    Только много ли у мира лет?
    А-а-а, а-а-а,
    Отчуждение!

  83. S.... D....

    I was given this album by my older brother when I turned 7 (he was cool like that). I would spend hours listening to it ,awestruck and baffled by emotions that I couldn't possibly understand, I didn't even know who the Beatles were. Now at the age of of 54 and 40-42 years since the last time I listened to this album, I am still startled by the wave of emotions that are washing over me.....

    S.... D....

    sounds like it made you quite horny

    S.... D....

    John knew his listeners tastes. A Master Craftsman.

    Quando nessuno ti capisce tutti parlano sempre spesso...l isolamento l unica strada.

  87. �.... �....

    Isolation

    People say we got it made,
    Don't they know we're so afraid
    Isolation,
    We're afraid to be alone.
    Everybody got to have a home.
    Isolation.

    Just a boy and a little girl
    Trying to change the whole wide world.
    Isolation,
    The world is just a little town.
    Everybody trying to put us down.
    Isolation.

    I don't expect you to understand,
    After you caused so much pain,
    But then again you're not to blame.
    You're just a human, a victim of the insane.

    We're afraid of everyone.
    Afraid of the sun.
    Isolation.
    The sun will never disappear,
    But the world may not have many years.
    Isolation.

    Lennon es el padre de la baladas más tristes.

  89. P.... M....

    I remember the day this album came out and I picked it up at Sam Goodys record store. It was I felt some of Johns deepest works. I Loved this song.

    P.... M....

    Yeah … deepest

    P.... M....

    His best and most raw album, in my opinion.

    P.... M....

    This album was much like his primal scream therapy, it’s like cathartic, he gets a range of suppressed emotions out in these songs

    P.... M....

    Agree Paul. 2 thumbs up for Sam Goody's.

  90. E.... O....

    Does it get any better?! Truthful, honest, heartfelt, and above all, original. John was SO ahead of his time.

    E.... O....

    He was amazing and the world lost so much when it lost him.

    E.... O....

    Amen brother

    E.... O....

    not to mention a pretty great transition there where you just had his foot tapping and a single chord. the song is so simple and yet who else coulda come up with it?

    E.... O....

    he would have been ahead of his time in any generation

    E.... O....

    Has nothing to do whatsoever with being ahead of his time. Just has to do with being real and a gifted songwriter/musician. Its not like music has gotten any better since this song came out.

  91. M.... D....

    Great song. I think of my granddaughter who's always alone, whenever I hear this song.....

    M.... D....

    Loneliness is the worst feeling a human can have, but from a long personal experience it can and does change. I hope with all my heart that your granddaughter will find the connection like myself, and she will appreciate it more than everyone else.

  92. F.... B....

    I like this song.

    F.... B....

    You have good taste

  93. T.... W....

    This song is it, Lennon is Rock and Roll

    T.... W....

    Hail hail rocknroll !! Id hit like 2xs if i could

    T.... W....

    You think this song is rock n roll?

  94. F.... M....

    It's all walls and brigdes not on the cross streets of pain and suffering

  95. C.... B....

    Don't they know we're so afraid?

    C.... B....

    Our parents and the people teaching us.

    C.... B....

    No , they Don't
