agree it is about someone with a big ego , but at the same time its saying by being such a big head you just generate resentment and alienation onto yourself.. The 'elephant' need everything they say to be treated as gospel but at the same time there is a desperation to this craving. Its basically song about your boss - even though they are a total cock and probably won't change they are proably far more lonely and wretched than you are!
