Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing by your side
Hate those pretty eyes
I've been falling over you
I would like to know you
We can't stay together
You're saying nothing, but your body language
It's saying it so
You don't get much better than when we're together
Tell me I'm wrong
Don't get offended, fake it a minute
I'll leave you alone
So tell me I'm wrong
Or I'll never leave you alone
Don't act like it irrelevant
'Cause I can see what's on your mind
It feels like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Like it's relevant
Tell me like it's relevant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Like an elephant
You act like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Don't act like it irrelevant
'Cause I can see what's on your mind
It feels like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
(Say what's on your mind
Say what's on your mind
Say what's on your mind)
You're saying nothing, but your body language
It's saying it so
You don't get much better than when we're together
Tell me I'm wrong
Don't get offended, fake it a minute
I'll leave you alone
So tell me I'm wrong
Or I'll never leave you alone
Don't act like it irrelevant
'Cause I can see what's on your mind
It feels like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Like it's relevant
Tell me like it's relevant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Like an elephant
You act like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
Don't act like it irrelevant
'Cause I can see what's on your mind
It feels like there's an elephant
Why don't you just say what's on your mind?
(Say what's on your mind
Say what's on your mind
Say what's on your mind)
The song "Elephant" by Loveless explores the tension of unspoken feelings between two people. The lyrics suggest that even though the singer is attracted to the person they are addressing, there is an elephant in the room, an unspoken issue that is getting in the way of true connection. The singer pleads for the other person to tell them what's on their mind, to not act like it's irrelevant, so they can move past the tension and finally be together.
The opening lines set the stage for the push and pull of attraction and tension: "Stranger, I don't mind standing by your side, hate those pretty eyes, I've been falling over you." The singer is willing to be there with the other person, even though they hate how attracted they are to them. The chorus repeats the line "You act like there's an elephant," emphasizing the idea that the unspoken issue is tangible and getting in the way of true connection. The singer is frustrated with the other person's silence, as their body language is saying one thing but their words are saying nothing. This creates a sense of uncertainty and doubt in the singer's mind, causing them to plead with the other person to tell them what's on their mind.
Overall, "Elephant" is a moody, tense song that captures the feeling of unspoken attraction and the frustrations that come with it. The repeated imagery of the elephant in the room, coupled with the singer's desperation for the other person to speak their mind, creates a sense of desperation and longing that speaks to the experience of many people who have felt chemistry with someone but been held back by unspoken tension.
