Scenario I
Elephant Kind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the jungle where they call you stupid
Either right or wrong they're just gonna do it
let the light below light the darkness spirit
Don't waste you're time, in haste, just do it
In a world like this you're just a rabbit
Live the way you want live the way you want it
There's a light within the darkness spirit
There's a pious preacher you don't wanna hear him
Where's my desire that run through my blood in my heart
I cursed the mirror and the mirror cursed back at me
In the night time I couldn't find darkness
Dive in a sea, walk in a forrest
Everybody tried to climb the highest
I drowned in the sea, lost in the forrest
You can be the judge, you can be the jury
It's all by the book, It's all in theory
Why do we need God when there's judge and jury
You can be the judge, you can be the jury
Where's my desire that run through my blood in my heart




I cursed the mirror and the mirror cursed back at me
It cursed back at me, cursed back at me, cursed back at me

Overall Meaning

The song "Scenario I" by Elephant Kind explores the idea of being true to oneself and living according to one's own desires, rather than adhering to societal norms and pressures. The lyrics suggest that in this jungle-like world, people may call us stupid no matter what we do, but we should let the light within us guide us and not waste time in hesitation. The darkness spirit may try to discourage us or impose its own beliefs, represented by the pious preacher the singer says we don't want to hear, but we should stay true to our own desires and not give up.


The singer expresses frustration with feeling lost and uncertain about what they want, cursing the mirror and feeling like it curses back at them. Despite this, they urge listeners to embrace their desires and not hold back, even if it means going against the status quo. The song questions the need for religious figures like God when society already has judges and juries that dictate what is right or wrong. Ultimately, the message seems to be to tune out external voices and trust oneself.
