- White Elephant LyricsSurrender with me
We're walking in our sleep,
I won't come around for you
Leave the story at the shore,
In case you thought it done
I guess it is we're so boring
Now surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pistols down,
Crawl along the ground.
Where we won't,
Won't be found.
Surrender with me
And bring your violin,
Photographs and some black strings
For when we're breaking stones,
The only things we know
Are tiger's eyes and lost things
Now, surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pencils down,
And go back underground
Where we won't,
Won't be found
Now, surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pistols down,
And crawl along the ground
Where we won't,
Where we won't,
Won't be found
We're walking in our sleep,
I won't come around for you
Leave the story at the shore,
In case you thought it done
I guess it is we're so boring
Now surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pistols down,
Crawl along the ground.
Where we won't,
Won't be found.
Surrender with me
And bring your violin,
Photographs and some black strings
For when we're breaking stones,
Are tiger's eyes and lost things
Now, surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pencils down,
And go back underground
Where we won't,
Won't be found
Now, surrender with me
Cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come 'round
Hey, put our pistols down,
And crawl along the ground
Where we won't,
Where we won't,
Won't be found

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, the metaphor of being submarines is used in the song 'White Elephant' by Ladytron to signify the state of being utterly submerged or cut off from the world. The lyrics are a request for an individual to surrender and to do away with the defenses he/she has built around himself/herself in order to let in the light of vulnerability and to be liberated from the burden of living. White Elephant's lyrics mainly portray the whole range of human feelings: angst, heartbreak, despair, self-examination, and solitude. Moreover, the song not only emphasizes the concepts of yield and fatiguing but also discusses the themes of isolation and fleeing as well as conflict resolution. The words of the song illustrate the battle of surrender and conflict, with terms like 'pistols' and 'crawling along the ground' perhaps hinting to violence.
