Hanoi
Elephant Run
Fri, vital
Ett ivrigt skal
Jag är vaken,
Nyfiken och mild
Givmild, öm
I en dröm
Jag är naken
Ohöljd, uppenbar
Helt utan försvar
Tiden har jag kvar
Ideal
Bland tusental
Är jag naken?
Insvept i behag?
Kraftlös, Sval
Trivial
Jag är vaken
En viljesvag despot
Som såhär efteråt
Hörs skrikandes ‘förlåt’

Autophobic
Elephant Run
Don't want you to be afraid
As I hold your head right under the surface
Don't shake or shiver, don't hesitate
Feel my warm hands around your neck
You say you wanna save the world
You say you wanna save the world
I am afraid, like you, like you
So, come and save me, change me, take me! Here I am!
I'm just a poor lost creature, break me if you can
Don't look back on the life that you used to embrace
Welcome the world of mine, you're now lost in my maze
I am afraid, like you, like you
Whenever I am ready, I will shoot them dead
They are all looking for us, hide here in my bed
I'm never gonna blame you, they’ll say it's your fault
I will take care of you here deep down in my vault
I’ll whisper tender words to you to keep them out
I’ll gently tie your hands to mine when you’re in doubt
Don’t you dare try to leave this fortress without me
As long as you keep quiet I'll promise you'll be free
De letar efter dig, de letar efter oss
Kom, ta min hand nu, kom, kom försvinn med mig
Kom, med mig, kom!
Kom, Kom, Kom!
Lita på mig, inte på någon annan
Du ska aldrig, nånsin, mer vara rädd, kom med mig, kom!

Make It Real
Elephant Run
Are we yet immune
To what we are defying?
Did we give up too soon?
Will they know we were trying?
We might have caused pain
But we are all just a drop in the rain
We drifted lightly through the mist, with shuttered eyes, still, we persist
The gap is diffuse
But the fall is quite short
We’ve got plenty to lose
But nothing to fight for
It’s easy to stray
When the winds keep on blowing our way
We’re drifting lightly through the mist, with open eyes, still, we persist
Is it real?
Do we want to know?
Are we real?
Will we ever know?
Make it real!
Or make us feel like we tried once more, cause we’re unsure
Make it real!
Are we real?
Is it real?
Are we real?
Make it real!
Are we real?
Make it real!

We Are Heores
Elephant Run
Heroes
We are achievers, givers, leaders
Fair-minded, fearless, saints, believers
Sensitive, wide-eyed dreamers
True-hearted minds, filling a virtuous void
We are healers
We are seekers
We are untroubled, laid-back, sleepers
Stargazing, blameless, plain repeaters
Trivial, groping cheaters
Faint-hearted minds, fleeing a needless guilt
We are keepers
We are reapers
We are devoted, hollow eaters
Righteous receivers, turn-coats, preachers
Big-headed, keen deceivers
Hard-hearted swines, feeding a tumorous growth
We are heroes
We are brutal
We are brilliant
We are careless
We are indifferent
We are quiet
We are gentle
We are tender
We are heroes

Urubu
Elephant Run
Vakna ur din dvala djup
För varje fall, från varje stup
É o que te faz
One more sun to rise
Nunca me olhar assim
För ingenting is everything
For those who slept
At the bottom of that depth
Fingi que é normal
O bem e o mal
För den som gått igenom eld
Won't get lost while they’re in hell
Dansar och ler
Tem nada pra perder
Se cada fumaça fosse fogo
Står hela vår värld i lågor
Förutom för den
That falls asleep again
Fugi, andei pra trás
O que é o moral
Fugi, andei pra trás
O que é o moral

Pega Mal
Elephant Run
Meu bem você podia avisar
Um dia pra eu tomar banho
Minha barba está pra fazer
Os dentes eu nem vou mostrar
Meu bem você podia ligar
Faz dias que eu quero falar
A barba está uma beleza
Minha boca um beijo mortal
Quando você chegou
Pô, não podia avisar?
Logo que eu te vi
Eu não tô legal, baixo astral
Quando você chegou
Logo que eu te vi
Lembrei de tudo
Não foi legal
Puta que pariu
Se lembra do que eu te falei
Faz anos que não leio mais
Se lembra o que falei pra você
Que Beatles também pega mal
Puta que caretice
Foi a causa de tudo
Lembra que te falei
Que não gosto de rock, não gosto de rave
Logo que eu te vi
Se lembra o que falei pra você
Dos livros que não quero mais
Meu bem eu nunca mais te falei
Da vida que ficou para trás
Se lembra o que falei pra você
A também vai se fuder
Quer saber
Fiquei aí esperando
Encheu o saco
Mas também né
Se aparecer um rolê é nois
Porque não estou fazendo nada mesmo
Então foda-se
Mas se tiver traz uma seda
3:50
Your Head First
Elephant Run
Learn how to sing just like the birds
But careful not to spend the words
Clip your wings and make sure not to ask why
And jump when they hire you to fly
Linger in the echo chamber
Don’t fight, don’t you dare surrender
Overestimate your worth
Pray that they’ll take your head first
Vai!
Vai!
Vai!
Vai!
3:15
Utsålt
Elephant Run
Where the winds cannot blow
The grass doesn't grow
Where the gods stopped to show
A long time ago
Where the fields are unfed
Revealing the dead
By turning your head
You'll see sunshine instead
Take it
Tame it
Name it
Sell what’s prone to be sold
Throw what's getting to old
Claim that you did not know
Utsålt! Utsålt! Utsålt! Utsålt!
Where no wealth can be found
There's dread in the ground
All you hear is the sound
Of the rates going down
When you filled your demand
In leftover land
Turn your head, start to plan
It's time to expand
Take it
Tame it
Name it
Sell what’s prone to be sold
Throw what's getting to old
Claim that you did not know
