Elephants in Amsterdam Lyrics

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

I'm so close
But yet far
I feel tonight
From outside

I'm leaving, I'm gone
I need to know myself once again
Sadly from the phone

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant in Amsterdam

I'm so far, but bleeding
I'm out of space
My peaceful grace

I'm leaving, I'm gone
I need to know myself once again
Sadly from the phone

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant
in Amsterdam

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant (elephant)

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

I'm so close
But yet far
I feel tonight
From outside

I'm leaving, I'm gone
I need to know myself once again
Sadly from the phone

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant in Amsterdam

I'm so far, but bleeding
I'm out of space
My peaceful grace

I'm leaving, I'm gone
I need to know myself once again
Sadly from the phone

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant in Amsterdam
I'm looking for my elephant
in Amsterdam

I feel I should be dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm looking for the elephants in Amsterdam

Dancing with the elephants
I'm dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam
I'm dancing like an elephant (elephant)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"I need to know myself once again. I feel I should be dancing with the elephants in Amsterdam." I think it's about someone who really wants an escape.. a break from their life, to figure things out.

Only thing i can imagine as meaning of this song is a person smoking weed in amsterdam and having a trip in which he sees elephants. Just like Dumbo when he is drunk....

Someone a more philosofical idea?
