These two bars end the song perfectly, presenting this whole conversation between I/O and this stripper as just his imagination as he watches her work her broken heart on that pole (the use of ‘show’ suggests that it may well be a stripper, or an exotic dancer, if you prefer).

The repetition of ‘Oh’, might just be an inclination of how good she is.

Nahmean?!

This can be linked back to the girl’s vices in the first verse. As she may rely on drugs/alcohol to escape her reality into a more pleasurable one.

It could also be I/O saying that he’ll show her an alternative side to life that she has yet to discover. I guess any alternate reality is better then being a stripper.

This is the Tenth track off of Isolation.

Much like the rest of the tape, there are background guitar riffs. This one isn’t that dark but seems to end on a somber note.

It seems to focus on a stripper/porn star that I/O makes the acquaintance of, who he then tries to get to know on a personal level, instead of just being one of her regular clients.

It ends with an interview with a porn star, followed by the background guitar strings, ending this on a darker note then it started.

He wants her to be herself with him, and seems to be of the opinion that if she chills with him for long enough, she will come out of her shell and show who she really is.

In a sense, this would make one ‘real’ because by showcasing what you hide away in the back of your mind, you’re being true to yourself.

He’s asking this girl why she hides how she feels. Due to social constructs and other influences in our daily lives, a lot of people don’t express who they truly because they fear the backlash/not being accepted as they are by whatever and whoever.

This idea of being real to yourself is echoed in the line

Let’s take our masks off for the world

As this song seems to center around a stripper and/or porn star, who, even though they are physical with clients, aren’t usually personal with people.

The final (and bonus) track off of Isolation. This track is very dark and accusing, whilst still being smooth with them low-tone vocals.

This seems to accuse a girl of something, perhaps painting a cheating/dumping as a rash and inconsiderate thing to do. Which I guess makes sense.

It can be found on I/O’s SoundCloud and his YouTube account, but is not included as part of the Isolation tape. However, if you buy the CD, it is listed as a bonus track.

All in all, this is a great way to end the tape.

The penultimate track off of Isolation, this seems to focus on I/O’s own faults in a relationship, whilst not giving too much detail away.

Much like the rest of the tape, this song has light guitar strings in the background and has heavily synthesized vocals.

This is the fourth track off of Isolation.

Much like We’ll Always B, it reminisces on a past love. However, this time the reminiscing seems to have occurred after seeing a certain familiar face out and about.

It is a lot happier, in terms of the instrumental, then a lot of the tape, and hits it peak towards the end of the song before transitioning straight into Downstream.

This is the Eighth track off of Isolation.

The production is more up-beat and happy, showcasing what one could call mainstream appeal. It obviously has the man reminiscing of a past love, as does the fourth track on the tape, Strangers. Much like fellow PBR&B star, Frank Ocean’s Forrest Gump, it seems to reflect on the past love with joyous nostalgia.

If you think the lyrics are wrong you can peep I/O’s Tumblr.

This is the second track off of Isolation

It is one of the darker tracks on the tape, along with You Slay Me and Downstream.

Fitting the theme of the tape, the guitar strings in the instrumental become a bit more dramatic towards the end, nah-mean?
