Lolita
Elefant Lyrics

Can you tell me what you're thinking?
Asking for the thoughts running through Lolita's head.

I just melt inside your eyes
The effect Lolita has on the singer.

Kiss me like they do in movies
Desiring an idealistic, fantasy-like relationship with Lolita.

Modern child of the night
Describing Lolita as a contemporary and rebellious youth.

I was watching you for hours
Spying on Lolita for an extended period of time.

Standing there beside the pool
Observing Lolita while she is in a vulnerable state.

When you wear those pretty dresses
Liking Lolita's appearance when she is in feminine clothing.

I forget the girl in you
Ignoring Lolita's youth and inexperience in favor of her physical attractiveness.

Run away
Possibly urging Lolita to leave with the artist, or indicating the urge to escape the guilt of their feelings.

Lola is on the floor
Referring to Lolita as Lola, and highlighting her vulnerability and potential submission.

She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Implying Lolita is craving something, possibly either attention, affection, or something more sexual.

Am I wrong for loving Lola?
Questioning the morality of his feelings for Lolita due to her young age and lack of experience.

Am I wrong for what I think?
Feeling guilty about perverse thoughts and desires for Lolita.

She is such a wicked child
Contemplating Lolita's perceived immorality and possibly blaming her for his own desires.

Painted lips
Possibly referencing Lolita's application of makeup, highlighting her attempt to appear more mature.

Dirty knees
Suggesting Lolita's potential submission to the artist's desires, or referencing sexual activity.

I hear the devil calling
Referencing the guilt and immorality associated with his desires for Lolita.

He's waiting for my move
Feeling pressure to act on his feelings for Lolita, possibly referencing the societal and legal implications of acting upon said feelings.

I shall allow the beater
Desiring to give into lustful desires for Lolita despite societal and legal consequences.

You are my heart and soul
Declaring Lolita as the source of his emotional wellbeing and possibly framing his desire for her as justified.

My Lola is on the floor
Repeating previous lines in chorus-style, highlighting the fixation on Lolita's vulnerability and desire for something more.

She's wanting more, she's wanting more
Repeating previous lines in chorus-style, highlighting Lolita's craving for something more, which could be attention, affection or sexual in nature.

My Lola is on the floor
Repeating previous lines in chorus-style, highlighting the singer's fixation on Lolita, and perhaps highlighting their obsession with her.

She's wanting more, she's wanting more
