Relationship Songs, particularly the Dark "Ending Them" Ones, are typically not as popular... People seem to prefer Uplifting Positive Tunes that can help uplift and encourage Happier Times. Do you agree? Curious....
Elephants If the elephants have past lives Yet all destined to always remember It's no wonder how they scream Like you and I, they must have some temper And I am dreaming of them on the planes Dirtying up their beds, Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads And how dare that you send me that card When I am doing all that I can do You are forcing me to remember When all I want is just forget you If the tiger shall protect her young Then tell me how did you sleep by? Oh, my instincts have failed me for once I must have slept the whole night And I am dreaming of them with their kill, Tearing it all apart Blood dripping from their lips And teeth sinking into heart And how dare that you say you'll call When you know I need some peace of mind If you have to take sides with the animals Won't you do it with one who is kind? If the hawks in the trees need the dead If you're living you don't stand a chance For a time though you share the same bed But there are only two ends to this dance You can flee with your wounds just in time Or lie there as he feeds, Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed So for those have you fallen in love Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right Throw yourself in the mist of danger But keep an eye open at night.
Surreal! I dreamed about elephants and was just doing a search for the meaning. So glad I came across this song.. it's speaking to me in many ways. Beautiful song!! I'm a fan now!! 🙏🏼
they say you fall in love with songs because you feel what the singer feels as they sing the song and Ms.Rachael , i feel what you feel :) beautiful song !
it is hard to post a comment when you can't get the tears to go away lol Lyrical, Vocal & musical perfection ! This song is profoundly moving & the video viscerally ethereal . For anyone who has known the joy & pain of love lost this is nothing less than cathartic ! BRAVA
You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed......... So for those of you falling in love keep it kind Keep it good Keep it right Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night....... i don't know how many broken hearts she's been through...but almost all her songs are as depressing as this one...lol....poor rachel. charming though.
i've been a fan from the start but i'd heard elephants was a bomb so it was only recently that i bought the album. just goes to show, don't believe everything you hear - i am sooooo in love with this album. it's extremely diverse, features the voice in ways we've all come to love and the music just moves me all over the place... definitely better late than never.
I always wonder what Ben Gibbard's been through when I listen to Death Cab's 'Transatlanticism' and 'We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes'. What you said made me think of that.

Do you agree?
Curious....
She's really pretty. Both her and her music
She is still amazing❤ 2023
The lyrics are so deep, and the ending bittersweet, "throw yourself in the midst of danger, but keep one eye open at night.
You tell a story like a poet.
this song always manages to bring me to tears.. beautiful
Absolute Genius so powerful - it shows where society at today, so uplifting. Why doesn't this video have millions of views?
I love her music, her voice is hypnotic.
Elephants
If the elephants have past lives
Yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I, they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
When I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
Then tell me how did you sleep by?
Oh, my instincts have failed me for once
I must have slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
And teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
But there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
So for those have you fallen in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the mist of danger
But keep an eye open at night.
thankss!!!!

Sarah Smith in doing a dance this year! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This may sound absurd but I think Rachel did her best version of this song ever on saturday. Small concert in Portalnd, OR.

s2 love!!!
im listening this because IU said that she was listening to it:D
@MrGentlehand yeah, the interesting thing is that she's very upbeat and funny in between the songs at concerts.
Absolutely brutally beautiful!
A Masterpiece !
♥♥♥
no idea what the song is about , but it sounds nice
If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream .....
2019 🎧🎶 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
If the elephants have past lives
yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the plains
dirtying up their beds
Watching for some kind of rain
to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
when all I want is to just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill
tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
teeth sinking in too hearts
And how dare that you say you will call
when you know I need some peace of mind
If you had to take sides with the animals
won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
if you're living you don't stand a chance
You can lie there and say you are fed
but there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love
keep it kind
keep it good
keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger
but keep one eye open at night
;_; I cry sooo much
Beautiful lyrics. Was this shot at the Salton Sea?
her eyesO.O
here in 2023❤❤❤❤❤❤

If the elephants have past lives,
Yet are destined to always remember,
It's no wonder how they scream,
Like you and I, they must have some temper.
And I am dreaming of them on the plains,
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some kind of rain
To cool their hot heads.
And how dare that you send me that card
When I'm doing all that I can do.
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is to just forget you.
If the tiger shall protect her young,
Then tell me how did you slip by.
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night.
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart,
Blood dripping from their lips,
And teeth sinking in to heart.
And how dare that you say you will call,
When you know I need some peace of mind..
If you had to take sides with the animals,
Won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead,
If you're living you don't stand a chance.
For a time, though you share the same bed,
There are only two ends to this dance.
You can flee with your wounds just in time,
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
And laughing as you bleed.
So for those of you falling in love,
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.
Throw yourself in the midst of danger,
But keep one eye open at night.
Quelle poésie
where is this place?
Sounds like a soundtrack, doesn't it?
Sad very sad
she looks like french beauty, sophie marceau
I always seem to cry to this song. Also, I'm a guy. How embarrassing.
Alex Papasozomenos that’s okay guys should cry once in while knowing that you’re still human
