A mixture of jiving mpc beats, alongside a myriad of effected keys, guitar, bass and cello is set off by an overlay of soulful female and male vocals.
Soft rolling noise and catchy melodies makes for many formats of ethereal sound scapes with a draw string of gyrating drops that pulls all together to form a collection of loose structured ‘move your mind and feet’ pop songs.
I Fold You
Elder Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There’s so much sky here you look but don’t tell
And i will seam close your heart break
And i will seem close but far away
We measure distance in the dark
A stone in the hand means a cost
A throw with no sound means i’ve lost
The first line, "We'll take the bridge that I know so well" suggests familiarity and comfort in a certain routine, indicating that the singer has been through this same experience before. The second line, "There's so much sky here you look but don't tell," indicates that perhaps the singer is afraid to express their emotions or what they truly see and feel in the situation, possibly out of fear of rejection or judgment. The third and fourth lines, "And I will seam close your heart break / And I will seem close but far away," suggest that the singer is attempting to mend a broken heart and be there for someone, even if they may emotionally distance themselves in the process.
The next two lines, "We measure distance in the dark / A stone in the hand means a cost," add to the theme of distance and the difficulty of truly understanding someone's emotions and experiences. The metaphor used in "a stone in the hand means a cost" suggests that holding onto something too tightly may come at a price. The repetition of "We measure distance in the dark" emphasizes the challenge of truly knowing someone and their struggles. The final two lines, "A throw with no sound means I've lost," suggests that even the act of trying to connect with someone can be difficult and may not always be successful, ultimately resulting in a feeling of defeat or loss.
Overall, "I Fold You in 2" explores themes of distance, emotional walls, and the difficulty of connecting with others. The lyrics suggest that while trying to be there for someone and bridge the gap, sometimes we may not succeed and may feel lost in the process.

We’ll take the bridge that I know so well
We will follow the familiar path that I have taken before
There’s so much sky here you look but don’t tell
There is an overwhelming amount of beauty here, that you cannot fully express
And i will seam close your heart break
I will try to mend your broken heart with my love
And i will seem close but far away
I will appear to be near you, but feel distant emotionally
We measure distance in the dark
In times of darkness, it can be difficult to determine how far apart we are
A stone in the hand means a cost
The weight of a situation can be felt in your soul, and has a price
We measure distance in the dark
In times of confusion, it can be difficult to determine how far apart we are
A throw with no sound means i’ve lost
A missed opportunity can feel like a complete failure, and be silent

Lyrics
We'll take the bridge that I know so well
There's so much sky you look but don't tell
And I will seam close your heartbreak
And I will seem close but far away
We measure distance in the dark
A stone in the hand means a cast
We measure distance in the dark
A throw with no sound means I've lost
Create a state of plane
Oh, I can't stay awake too long, long
You run second place
No, I won't break the wave you're on, on
Create a state of plane
Oh, I can't stay awake too long, long
Another day awaits
Favor me, I'll never say you're wrong, wrong
Hands around my waist
Elevate, elevate
First foot on the rung
Next foot on the rung
My next to love
My secret one
We measure distance in the dark
A stone in the hand means a cast
We measure distance in the dark
A throw with no sound means I've lost
I fo-old you-oo, oo oo
I fo-old you-oo, oo oo
Create a state of plane
Oh, I can't stay awake too long, long
You run second place
No, I won't break the wave you're on, on
Create a state of plane
Oh, I can't stay awake too long, long
Another day awaits
Favor me, I'll never say you're wrong, wrong
I fo-old you-oo, oo oo
I fo-old you-oo, oo oo
