Scenario II
Elephant Kind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me a reason take your time I'll wait
I'll stop hurting your heart when you stop hurting my heart
I'll stop hurting your heart when you stop hurting my heart
You cried, I lied we don't know why
Give me a heartbreak but not a heartache
Give me a reason take your time I'll wait
I'll stop hurting your heart when you stop hurting my heart
I'll stop hurting your heart when you stop hurting my heart
You cried, I lied we don't know why
Will we stop hurting our hearts
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
The lyrics to Elephant Kind's song Scenario II explore the idea of heartbreak and the pain it can bring, but also the desire to go through it rather than have someone continuously hurt another's heart with lies and deceit. The singer is asking for a heartbreak, meaning a clear and definitive end to the relationship, rather than a heartache, which is the ongoing pain and suffering caused by a partner lying and hurting their heart. They ask for a reason for the breakup, and are willing to wait for it.
The repeated line "I'll stop hurting your heart when you stop hurting my heart" emphasizes the mutual hurt and pain caused by the relationship, and suggests that both parties need to take responsibility for their actions in order to move forward. The final stanza "You cried, I lied we don't know why/Will we stop hurting our hearts" acknowledges the confusion and lack of understanding in the situation, but also expresses a desire for things to change and for the cycle of hurt to end.
Overall, the lyrics to Scenario II convey a sense of vulnerability and honesty, with the singer acknowledging their own role in the relationship's issues and their desire for resolution rather than continuing to hurt each other.
