about

"Anemones & Elephants" is more like an opera than a song. In the first part there's the dialogue between the two personalities of the character depicted in the song. It could be anybody. But who's the evil personality? There IS an evil one after all? What is wrong, what is right in growing up? The second part is a climax of visions, referencing to Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" and Van Sant's "Elephant".

lyrics

"who the fuck am I?"
speak politely asking your own mind
"you get what you deserve!"
what's the meaning of these funny words?
and if you want to save me,
wipe my tears away and hold my hands
"Am i getting schizophrenic?"
Now you understand!

Alright! Is there anything anyhow right
to know? Now you understand
Alright! Is there anything anyhow right?
Do you know how....
surely diggin' your way down,
keep in your eyes the so called surprise,
to know is to be grown up,
a never ending desire yeah, you're not a teen no anymore.

"..."
shutting up won't really stop your mind.
"I know you're my remorse!"
Deny yourself and surely will get worse.
and if you want to save me,
wipe my tears away and hold my hands.
"I dunno what it is..."
...but it surely smells like death.

Alright! Is there anything anyhow right
to know? Now you understand
Alright! Is there anything anyhow right?
Do you know how....
surely diggin' your way down,
keep in your eyes the so called surprise,
to know is to be grown up,
a never ending desire yeah, you're not a teen no anymore.


you're not a teen no anymore.

The cliff distracted the others,
from the seal we dreamed we tore apart.
The sea seems to be haunted,
I'm aware of evil thoughts.
The cliff distracted the others,
from the seal we dreamed we tore apart.
The sea seems to be haunted,
I'm aware of evil thoughts.
The cliff distracted the others,
from the seal we dreamed we tore apart.
The sea seems to be haunted,
We're stuck in Elephant.
