| Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Great post! Let me add just one more thing: Elephants also symbolize our inability to forget. Hence the common phrase: "An Elephant never forgets." This offers a third meaning of the term "Elephan gun": a gun intended for shooting elephants. Under this interpretation, he attempts to destroy his memories, or the elephant within himself that won't stop fogetting the pain of his lost love, however the elephant "rips through the night." He cannot destroy his painful memories; he is forced to never forget. |
