Elephant Gun lyrics

It's about using an elephant to shoot. You know, like a gun.

Being mainstream. (and they said this message was too short. )

I think its about the weapon and going to war and leaving home

I have no clue as to what it means. All i know is that it's a great song by a great band :d love them

Elephants drink alcohol. Maybe this is the meaning of elephant gun. And the music, for me, is all about forgetting the future and living the present.

I can't describe it. It's just a full song. Filled with happiness, although i know its not supposed to be about that

We drink to die because we have not really lived. We have buried all our dreams. We don't really live the life we wanted to live...

The elephant gun is the witness inside us. The awareness that can "take down" each though that comes in our mind by just witnessing it...

Awareness though is not some"thing". It is not a thing to lay it down. It is immaterial, therefore it cannot be found and it's not around but it actually is in everything at the same time...

Let the seasons begin= let life happen, accept what life brings to you every moment... Live!

It rolls right on= the mind, the ego is the big king... You have to transcend it to live the true, authentic life... To bring him/it down.

Silence is pure awareness... And the thoughts rip through it, through the night...

All that is left when you are really "awakened" is the realization that you've been hiding or you couldn't clearly recognize your true self...
That space in you which is above and beyond the mind, the space in you which is one with life itself...

We drink to die because we have not really lived. We have buried all our dreams. We don't really live the life we wanted to live...

Let the seasons begin= let life happen, accept what life brings to you every moment... Live!

It rolls right on= the mind, the ego is the big king... You have to transcend it to live the true, authentic life... To bring him/it down.

Silence is pure awareness... And the thoughts rip through it, through the night...

All that is left when you are really "awakened" is the realization that you've been hiding or you couldn't clearly recognize your true self...
That space in you which is above and beyond the mind, the space in you which is one with life itself...

We drink to die because we have not really lived. We have buried all our dreams. We don't really live the life we wanted to live...

Let the seasons begin= let life happen, accept what life brings to you every moment... Live!

It rolls right on= the mind, the ego is the big king... You have to transcend it to live the true, authentic life... To bring him/it down.

Silence is pure awareness... And the thoughts rip through it, through the night...

All that is left when you are really "awakened" is the realization that you've been hiding or you couldn't clearly recognize your true self... That space in you which is above and beyond the mind, the space in you which is one with life itself...

Its a metaphor. He compares being a soldier to growing up, and wanting to stay young.
