The song sums up "The New Normal". It's about pointing out the elephant in the room - that people lead monotonous, repetitive and unfulfilling lives, that we are distracted by bread, circuses and shows about cops, that we are too stuck to do anything other than gape and watch our lives slip away into banality. I remember listening to this song on my way to my photocopying job. Oh the resonance!
@nobalancepalace definitely agree that the title is in reference to the phrase "the elephant in the room" ... it pretty much is the old "let's talk about the elephant in the room" (in other words the "real" / obvious issue)
