Elephants Lyrics

I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All dangers start
And atmosphere

Gets crazy life
Where every breath transpires
And to a star
Space ? come about you

They call me a thief
They call me a thief
Call me a thief
Call me a thief
Common thief
Common thief
Common thief
Call me
Call me

So I know
That you're not that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope
That burn all there is that
You want is inside you now

I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All dangers start
I'm on my way
I'm on my way down

I know
That's you're not that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope
That you find all there is that
You want is inside you now

I know that
You're not here
I wonder where you are

In the ?
We are waiting for you
With your dying need for
? hold on right now
We won't let you fall

We are waiting for you
With you dying need for
? hold on right now
We won't let you fall

Cover art for Elephants lyrics by Warpaint

To say there is "an elephant in the room" is to say there is a massive thing that affects everything but which noone talks about. The damaged girl pushes away her perfect lover to protect him from the damage ("I'm on my way down") inside of her ("I'll break your heart to keep you far from where all dangers start"), but never speaks about why she breaks his heart, never allows anyone close to her troubles, the elephants in the rooms of her mind that make the relationship impossible. She hopes her discarded lover will find the happiness he sought in her inside himself ("I hope that you find all there is that you want is inside you now.")

The last bit is supposed to be:

In the dark we are waiting for you With your dying need for their attention Hold on tight now, we won't let you fall

We are waiting for you With you dying need for their attention Hold on tight now we won't let you fall

Cover art for Elephants lyrics by Warpaint

I'll break your heart to keep you far from where all dangers start and atmosphere gets crazy light where every breath just bites into the soft space of calm about you

They call me a thief They call me a thief Call me a thief Call me a thief Common thief Common thief Common thief Call me Call me

I know that you're not here, that you're not here Sort of lost without you I hope that you'll find all there is that you want is inside you now

I'll break your heart to keep you far from where all danger starts I'm on my way I'm on my way down

I know that you're not, that you're not here Sort of lost without you I hope that you find all there is that you want is inside you now Now...

I know that You're not here I wonder where you are

In the dark we are waiting for you With your dying need for their attention Hold on tight now, we won't let you fall

We are waiting for you With your dying need for their attention Hold on tight now, we won't let you fall...

Lyric Correction

"sort of lost without you" should be "subtle's lost without you" It was on their myspace maybe a year ago.

Why is it called "Elephants". the only thing i could think is some cryptic anti-poaching message but idk!

@DannyG505 'Mystical' anarchists (accused thieves waiting in darkness) singing to conservatives (those that are 'not there', elephant symbol of the US GOP). A work of large-scale attempted hypnotism? Whether is that - to enable more of the thievery they admit to being accused of, or truly to keep from danger and 'catch' their elephants from falling? They likely do not actually know, themselves, but have a belief, which verges on mysticism. One may have to rely on personal experience to know.

I think one part might be:

"So i know that you're not that you're not here Sort of lost without you I hope that you find all there is that you want, is inside you now."

Thank you, I fixed it.
