Elephants
If the elephants have past lives
Yet all destined to always remember
It’s no wonder how they scream
Like you and I, they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
When I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
Then tell me how did you sleep by?
Oh, my instincts have failed me for once
I must have slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
And teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you’ll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won’t you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you are living you don’t stand a chance
You can lie there and say you are fed
But there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the mist of danger
But keep an eye open at night
Yet all destined to always remember
It’s no wonder how they scream
Like you and I, they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
When I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
Then tell me how did you sleep by?
Oh, my instincts have failed me for once
I must have slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
And teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you’ll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won’t you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you are living you don’t stand a chance
You can lie there and say you are fed
But there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the mist of danger
But keep an eye open at night

Vamos a quedarnos con lo de que los elefantes traen buena suerte (prefiero esta frase en una camiseta!!) :)
..."El elefante como amuleto tiene una procedencia hindú y surge de la leyenda de Ganesha. Ganesha era el dios de la buena suerte que proporcionaba ayuda y aseguraba el éxito, la prosperidad y la paz. Pero sobre todo era el dios que ayudaba a eliminar los obstáculos aplastando con su trompa todo tipo de dificultades.
En la India se cree que el elefante es un animal que posee una gran inteligencia, por este motivo a Ganesha se le considera como el más inteligente de los dioses. [...]
Además de ser el dios de los mercaderes y comerciantes es también el dios de los escritores y literatos quienes le invocan cuando van a iniciar una novela o poema. Cuando se invoca a Ganesha, llevamos un amuleto con su figura o con la forma de un elefante estamos pidiendo la inteligencia, el talento y la sabiduría necesarias para emprender ciertas acciones en la vida con los mínimos obstáculos".
[Pues eso... casi que nos pedimos unos cuantos por Seur o algo xD]
¡Me encanta la foto que has puesto!
