Vulture
Elder Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You take my hand
I do not falter
I understand
You are no vulture
But, remembered fear for you

Sadness in furs, a wild man transformed, no loss incurred, a portrait torn

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Elder Island's song "Vulture" seems to be a message from one individual to another, expressing that the person speaking trusts the other completely. "You take my hand / I do not falter / I understand / You are no vulture" seems to suggest that the person taking the singer's hand is not to be feared. However, the final line, "But, remembered fear for you," complicates this, implying that the person speaking was once afraid of the other individual, but has since come to trust them.

The second line of the verse, "I do not falter," adds to the idea that the singer is confident in the other individual's trustworthiness. Taken together, the verse suggests that two people with a difficult history are working together to rebuild trust and connection, even if some fear remains.

"Sadness in furs, a wild man transformed, no loss incurred, a portrait torn" is slightly more opaque than the first verse, but there are still a few key phrases that help to create a picture. "Sadness in furs" suggests someone wearing a fur coat, but struck by sadness; "a wild man transformed" might represent someone who has changed significantly; "a portrait torn" implies some kind of damage or pain. The phrase "no loss incurred" seems to suggest that whatever happened to transform the wild, sad man didn't actually result in significant lost.Overall, the song "Vulture" seems to be a story of two people coming to trust one another despite (or perhaps because of) their difficult past. The imagery of "Sadness in furs" and "a wild man transformed" suggest that both individuals have gone through significant transformations, yet are still able to find each other and grow together.
