Scenario III
Elephant Kind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody told me that she may not love you
But it don't mean a thing
But it don't mean a thing
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
Who knows who knows
Somebody told me I do not love her
Somebody told me that I was a liar
But it don't mean a thing
But it don't mean a thing
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
Who knows who knows
Speech
"You know a lot of people came up to me going like
Hey man, I think Rock n Roll is dead
and I'm like it doesn't fucking matter what you think (haha)
Cus we gotta do what we gotta do
We gotta Rock n Roll"
Do a little, a little Rock n Roll
Do a little, a little Rock n Roll
Do a little, a little Rock n Roll
Do a little, a little Rock n Roll
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
I can feel love everywhere
Cus I can feel love in the air
Who knows who knows
The lyrics of Elephant Kind’s song Scenario III depict a situation where the singer is being told contradictory information about someone they love. Someone tells them that the person they are searching for may not love them back and then later someone tells them that they themselves do not love the person. Despite these mixed messages, the singer remains optimistic and sure that love is still in the air and everywhere. The repetition of the phrase “I can feel love in the air” emphasizes the singer's firm belief in love even in the face of doubt and confusion.
The interlude before the chorus where the singer talks about people telling him that rock n roll is dead, conveys a message of defiance and perseverance. The singer chooses to pursue what they believe in despite others telling them to give up. This persistence is also seen in the outro where the repetitive phrase “do a little, a little rock n roll” emphasizes the idea of continuing to pursue what one loves. Essentially, the song is about having faith in love despite obstacles and believing in oneself even when others doubt.
