Guts
Elohim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a little bit empty now
Tryna shake it but I don't know how
I bet that you like that one
I see that it didn't take long

What I lost someone found
What I lost someone found

I can't keep keeping up with you
I can't I keep keeping up
I can't keep keeping up with you
I can't keep keeping up

These guts are gone
These guts are gone
These guts are gone

I'm in the middle of a broken thought
Pulling me back just to let me fall
I get that I'm not the one
Just feels like I wasted love

What I lost someone found
What I lost someone found

I can't keep keeping up with you
I can't I keep keeping up
I can't keep keeping up with you
I can't keep keeping up
I can't keep keeping up with you

These guts are gone
These guts are gone
These guts are gone

I can't keep keeping up with you
I can't I keep keeping up
I can't keep keeping up with you

I can't keep keeping up
I can't keep keeping up with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Guts" by Elohim deal with a sense of emptiness and loss after a romance that didn't work out. The singer is struggling to move on and find closure, as she sees how quickly her former lover has moved on, while she feels stuck in her feelings. The repeated lines of "What I lost someone found" emphasize this sense of displacement, as though the singer's emotions and identity have been snatched away.

The chorus of the song, with its refrain of "These guts are gone," further emphasizes the sense of emotional depletion and vulnerability. The image of "guts" suggests a sense of raw, exposed nerves, as though the singer is laid bare and without any defenses. The repeated phrase "I can't keep keeping up with you" speaks to a sense of exhaustion and frustration with trying to maintain a relationship or connection that no longer serves the singer's needs.

Overall, the lyrics of "Guts" are a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a romantic loss, and the difficulty of finding closure and moving on in the face of that loss.

This appeals to literally everything I like. Shoegaze, Elohim, and glitch art. :)

My favorite off of the whole EP. I love how dark and gritty it is compared to every other song. I never thought she'd upload it though! Love you, El! xaax

took me a bit, but remembered it from the show in Cambridge last year. Still great work :) even if your style didn't match exactly to EDEN's, your music has really grown on me. Keep up the great work!
