Kape Fear
Elder Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got all of your lines set up. Tied in tide
Think you’ve traveled north enough. Bronze and fired.
Watch the lines for signs of light, the darkest night breeds all but life
What’s behind the signs tonight. Flesh and fight.

Learn to make it till morning, get tricks from the teller with a warning
Draw lines better/all eyes tethered, trying not to let up.

You’ve fallen away, I watched your figure, fade in its brilliance.
Our dark dividends, won’t keep you here,
Darling your hidden, your hidden.

Learn to make it till morning, get tricks from the teller with a warning (when talking)
Draw lines better/ All eyes tethered, trying not to let up.

Oooooo

You’re fallen away, I watched your figure, fade in its brilliance.
All golden in air, you sink indifferent, taking all I see with you, oh Glory Return

At last, at last, at last the light (and last in light?)

Watch. Dawning, I get tricks from the teller with a warning.
Draw lines better/ All eyes tethered, trying not to let up.

Learn to make it till morning, get tricks from the teller with a warning
Draw lines better, trying not to let up.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elder Island's song Kape Fear are incredibly poetic and open to interpretation. The singer seems to be addressing someone who is embarking on a journey, possibly a dangerous one, and has set up their lines and tied them in the tide. The opening lines suggest that the person believes they have traveled north enough and is now bronze and fired. The singer warns the traveler to watch the lines for signs of light, as the darkest night breeds all but life, and asks what's behind the signs tonight, to which the answer seems to be flesh and fight.

As the song progresses, the singer advises the traveler to learn to make it till morning, get tricks from the teller with a warning, and draw lines better with all eyes tethered, trying not to let up. These lines could be interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and persevering through difficult situations. The singer appears to be admiring the traveler's brilliance and golden aura but laments that the traveler has now fallen away.

The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it could be argued that the song is about the perils of embarking on a journey, both literal and metaphorical, and the need to persevere through difficult times. Whether it's a journey across the sea, a personal struggle, or an emotional journey, the message is clear: learn to make it till morning, draw lines better, and don't let up.

Tied in tide
Think you've travelled North enough
Bronze and fired
Watch the lines for signs of light
The darkest night breeds all but life
What’s behind the signs tonight
Flesh and fight

Learn to make it till morning
Get tricks from the teller when talking
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up
Learn to make it till morning
Get tricks from the teller with a warning
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up

You fallen away
I watched your figure
Fade in its brilliance
Our dark dividends
Won't keep you here
Darling you're hidden
You’re hidden

Learn to make it till morning
Get tricks from the teller when talking
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up
Learn to make it till morning
Get tricks from the teller with a warning
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up

All golden in air
You sink indifferent
Taking all I see with you
Oh glory return

At last, at last, at last
At last the light

Calling it in
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up

What's
Make it
Falling, dawning
This night I'm
Calling it in
All eyes tethered, trying not to let up
