Elephant Kind Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fallin' deep down
My skin against your skin
Never began
I hope it never ends
I hope it never ends

(Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!)
(Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!)

Free from dark thoughts
Some minor distraction
We become one
Your raw flesh stretches my skin

(Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!)
(Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!)

We're gonna celebrate
We're gonna celebrate
Today
We're gonna light it up
We're gonna light it up
Tonight
Pum, pum, pum, pum

(Oi! Oi!) Fallin' deep down
(Oi! Oi!) Fallin'
(Oi! Oi!) Fallin' deep down
(Oi! Oi!) Fallin'
(Oi! Oi!) Fallin' deep down
(Oi! Oi!) Fallin'

(Oi! Oi!) Fallin' deep down
(Oi! Oi!)
