I Am an Elephant
Unveiling the Mask: Decoding the Deceptive Dance of Identity in 'I Am an Elephant'
Lyrics
Wow, look at you
Expressing surprise or admiration at the subject.
Your pathetic
Labeling the subject as lacking worth or strength.
It's amusing
Finding amusement in the subject's actions or character.
It's depressing
Feeling a sense of sadness or despair regarding the subject.
It's amazing
Expressing awe or disbelief at the subject.
Tell everyone
Encouraging the spreading of information about the subject.
What your not
Stating what the subject is not.
And they believe you
Highlighting the subject's persuasive abilities.
They proceed to
Others imitating the subject's behavior.
Emulate you
People copying the subject's actions.
Now you've got a whole
A group of insincere individuals formed around the subject.
Circle Jerks of fakes
Indicating a community of inauthentic individuals.
Crowding up my space
Complaining about insincere people invading personal space.
I'm talking shit behind your back
Talking negatively about the subject when they're not present.
I'd say it to your face
Expressing a willingness to confront the subject directly.
But I'm not sure which one
Uncertain which persona of the subject is genuine.
Hey!
An interjection expressing attention or surprise.
There's one thing that hasn't changed
Pointing out a constant quality in the subject.
You're still a joke to me
Continuing to view the subject as a source of amusement.
It's so easy to see right through you
Seeing through the subject's facade easily.
Do you remember
Prompting the subject to recall a past connection.
That I knew you
Reminding the subject of a previous relationship.
When you were just
Referencing the subject's original, authentic self.
Yourself ?
Pondering if the subject has deviated from their true nature.
Well I wonder, were you ever?
Raising doubt about the subject's authenticity.
Anyway, I liked you better
Expressing a preference for the subject's previous self.
When you did not
Noting a perceived change in the subject.
Change with the weather
Disapproval of the subject adapting to circumstances.
Doesn't it feel good to know
Reflecting on the lasting memory of the subject.
I'll always remember you ?
Asserting the persistent recollection of the subject.
Do you wish I'd go away ?
Questioning if the subject desires departure.
Do you think I could ?
Considering the possibility of the subject leaving.
Change you past, change your style,
Suggesting a desire to alter the subject's history and demeanor.
Change your identity
Advocating for a transformation in the subject's identity.
But you're a fool and a fake
Labeling the subject as foolish and insincere.
I don't forget easily
Claiming a persistent memory of the subject's shortcomings.
There's one thing that hasn't changed
Reiterating the consistent perception of the subject.
You're still a joke to me
Maintaining a view of the subject as a source of amusement.
It's so easy to see right through you
Reaffirming the ease of seeing through the subject's facade.
