East
Captains of Sea and War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Evenafter all the last warning calls...
And the mirror sands overhead
the clouds drawing so much rain...
Evenafter all the north was so close...
And we hang up the phones...
'Cause we thougth all was broken moments,
silent corners raising on your own...
The lyrics to Captains of Sea and War's song "East" is deeply introspective, as it reflects on the aftermath of a challenging situation. The first line "Eventhough the spiders are gone" suggests that the source of fear and discomfort has vanished. However, the following line "Evenafter all the last warning calls" implies that there were signs of impending danger that were ignored or underestimated. The image of "mirror sands" and "clouds drawing so much rain" suggest a sense of confusion and sadness, as if the singer is lost in a storm.
Furthermore, the line "Evenafter all the north was so close" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the feeling of being almost there, but still falling short. Despite these setbacks, the singer chooses to disconnect and withdraw, as shown in the line "And we hang up the phones". The last line "silent corners raising on your own" portrays a sense of isolation and helplessness, as if the singer is trapped in their own mind.
