about

This one mixes moody with triumphant. It is about a fish out of water or an elephant in the sea who is stomping upon the ocean floor past tough times.

lyrics

V1:
The Elephant in the sea, he learns to breathe.
Stomping upon the ocean floor, to rigmarole.
He never will forget, that life he left.
Blindly shuffling in the depths of regret.

Chorus 1:
To forget, what you meant. Learn to breathe in the sea.

The fortress is falling down. Does it even make a sound?
If there’s nobody else around does it hit the ground oh does it hit the ground?

Verse 2 (rap):
Sinking to the very deep I barely even recognise this man in the mirror, the mind over energized.
Heading right to the courts today to try to feel alright it’s stealing time taking these cookies like they were tethered to mine.
I find myself cutting straight through the painty pine, slashing so sharp I think ya’ll just got circumcised.
Nevermind, I got blocked out. I think I’ll clock out. It’s better if I rock out alone with my pizza pie.
But I think it’s better to fly up in the air over everywhere and stare or just close my eyes and glide.
Because I’m nowhere too which is where I want to be instead of out of place, stomping like an elephant in the sea.
Tryna say three but saying four. Abhorrently bored but feeling floored like concrete poured.
So what’s in store but rigamortis or more tests of how to undress this foul fortress.

Sax solo:

Verse 3:
The Elephant in the sea, he cries of grief.
Stomping upon the ocean floor, to rigmarole.
He never will forget, that life he left.
Blindly shuffling in the depths of regret.

Chorus:
The fortress is falling down. Does it even make a sound?
If there’s nobody else around does it hit the ground oh does it hit the ground?

The fortress has disappeared. Ears can’t see what eyes can’t hear.
Learn to breathe in the sea. But are you way too deep?

Refrain:
Yea are you way too deep? Are you way too deep?
