Red Elephant Lyrics

Cover art for Red Elephant lyrics by Born Ruffians

this song to me seems to go back and forth between being in love and having lost it and the gamut of emotions that are felt. is it just me or could red elephant be a metonym for something sexual?

This is exactly what the song means. It's about trying to quit a relationship- but not being able to, when being with them feels so right. (and yes. the red elephant is most definitely his penis)
