'maybe in quarantine' is the definition.
'isolation' can be an answer for 'quarantine' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'maybe in' bit.

'i ain't solo surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'aint'+'solo'='aintsolo'
'aintsolo' is an anagram of 'solation'.
'i'+'solation'='ISOLATION'

'though' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isolation that I've seen before include "Being separated" , "State of being alone" , "Cutting off" , "Seeking seclusion" , "loneliness" .)
