The melody is a sample from Peter Gabriel – “My Body Is A Cage” which appeared in the TV show DARK.
In the scene the song plays in, one of the characters says “Nein, Frau Doppler. Das ist unser Elefant”
Istasha also once used a painting from DARK as the cover of Down The Infinite Well.
Elefant Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What’s your opinion on the dire situation?
Ought to rip through the lid
I need a line
Citation
All the rust build, keep it like a red mark
Sleeping through the skin
I wanna sell my soul thin
No shark
On the sill
Scatter 'round
Plant patters on me
See the dead dogs barking up the redwood tree
Never sow no doubts but they all catch seed
On repeat sleep, eat, breathe, seethe and retweet
[Chorus]
I took my shirt off in the yard
Silent trees all saw my skin turn into dust
Fly like seeds
[Pre-Chorus]
What’s your opinion on the dire situation?
See the dead dog rip through lid
Citation
All the redwood tree
Never through the skin
I wanna sell my doubts
But they all see
Barking up the rеd-
I got my face on the pavemеnt
I cannot complain, yeah
Ghosted like I been up in a box an understatement
Caught up in the same place
I cannot complain, yeah
Gotta keep contained and scrapped 'til I can vacate
[Chorus]
I took my shirt off in the yard
Silent trees all saw my skin turn into dust
Fly like-
[Instrumental break]
