TheresAnElephantInTheRoom (Acoustic Version)

link to the song (with lyrics)

One of XXXTENTACION’s much earlier and rarer songs, “ElephantInTheRoom” is the second track off his project,  KIDS  and is currently deleted off his Soundcloud account. Originally released in 2015, this song was reposted sometime between March and April 2017 before being deleted again. X both sings, raps, and vocalizes over a somber and acoustic guitar loop.

Ultimately, this track showcases some of X’s more depressive and alternative rock-based styles. He describes how he is unable to love as a result of his past love’s pattern of deception. Consequently, X has become an elephant in the room, a person who will always remain a problem as everyone continues to ignore his existence.

LYRICS

[Verse]

Star fall, fear calls waiting on you, I’d never run

Kiss, fuck, I won’t feel I doubt that I would ever want

Hold me, kiss me, fuck me, you don’t wanna love

Haunt me, hang me, love me, I don’t ever love

[Chorus]

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

Ooh, there’s an elephant in this room

[Outro]

How do I feel what I don't understand?
