Elefant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I walk I feel the danger
Everyone around is getting stranger
Sunglasses and vodka in the morning
Sirens never came to me as a warning

Walking on the beach is so romantic
Kissing in the sand is so fantastic
Flying down the highways

Like you're wanted
Something in her touch
Has left me haunted

It's a game that we play,
And I don't know if I could
Live without you
The first time was the worst,
Now I thirst everything about you

Come and tell me
What you're really after
An angel told me that the end was soon
Wasted nights flirting with disaster
Give me what I need
To get me through

It's a game that we play,
And I don't know if I could
Live without you
The last time was the worst,
Now I'm cursed sitting here without you
Without you
Without you

Come and tell me
What you're really after
An angel told me that the end was soon
Wasted nights flirting with disaster
Give me what I need
To get me through

And you're so bad,
So bad

And you're so bad,
So bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sirens by Elefant convey a sense of danger and uncertainty in the world around us. The first two lines highlight the feeling of insecurity that has crept into our daily lives. The sunglasses and vodka in the morning indicate a hedonistic and reckless behavior that may lead to adverse consequences in the future. The sirens never coming as a warning further emphasize this sense of being unprepared and vulnerable.

The second verse paints a contrasting picture of the romantic and carefree moments of life. Kissing on the sand and flying down the highways give a sense of youthful exuberance and joy. However, the haunting touch of that someone suggests that even amidst these moments of happiness, there is a lingering sense of danger.

The chorus portrays the addictive and toxic nature of a relationship that is based on playing games. The first time was the worst, but now the singer cannot imagine living without their partner. The lyrics "come and tell me what you're really after" and "give me what I need to get me through" suggests that the relationship is rooted in a sense of emptiness and a need to fill a void. The angel's warning of the end being near and the wasted nights flirting with disaster further adds to the sense of doom and foreboding.

Overall, Sirens by Elefant is a commentary on the dark side of human nature and the need for meaningful connections in a chaotic world.

Line by Line Meaning

Everywhere I walk I feel the danger
I sense peril in my surroundings every step I take

Everyone around is getting stranger
The people near me seem to be becoming more peculiar

Sunglasses and vodka in the morning
Drinking alcohol and wearing shades at daybreak

Sirens never came to me as a warning
Warning signals were non-existent for me when I should have had them

Walking on the beach is so romantic
Strolling across the seashore is romantic

Kissing in the sand is so fantastic
Smooching on the beach is amazing

Flying down the highways
Speeding down the freeways

Like you're wanted
As if the law enforcement is pursuing you

Something in her touch
There is something about her touch that

Has left me haunted
Has haunted me
