about

Amphibian are a Hip-Hop/R&B Duo consisting of Ella Meta & Miles Better from the Futurology collective

"Savour the state of braver days, Been and gone, there are graver ways,
to banish a sin than to fall asleep and wake again."

We are proud to present to you "QUINT"

An underwater lullaby about the mysteries of sleep & dream.

This is the 1st Single taken from Amphibian's Debut Album "Borrowed Land for Sale" due to be released in May 2020.

Summon the Danger...

lyrics

I fall back blessed
Like is life just a Rorschach test
Realms where the real & the dream
Coalesce to form one big mess
Pushing my arms through clouds
Thinking to hard to doubt
The solidity of my ground
Fleet foot in the quicksands, drown
Scribbled these words too quick
Like dust forming on eyelids
Rust starts with just one drip
Covering time infinite
It's relative, general with my aesthetic
High dosage of sedatives
Pensive with the pen I grip
Let it slip, metaphysics so shifty
I wiggle my hips to its rhythm
Phosphenes in visual fields
My mind makes a meal of
My thoughts & feelings
Metaphors revealing
Reasoning on the minutiae of living
Given a push I am driven
More often sitting & overthinking
Than sleeping and sinning
Rest before living
Dreams give you vision
Burn after reading

Boundary’s broaden
And life sticks lids and tricks the day
Away to break
The first to take a breath
Summon a danger
Summon a danger
Make the feeling feel stranger
From the world of sleep and dream
And on to the next to tease
And drain away
This weighty water that I’m under
A sea of sleep and slumber
At rest, no recreation
This world is built of dream nation
Heavy significance
Break from the chrysalis
Take a breath
Savour the state of braver days
Been and gone
There are graver ways to banish a sin
Than to fall asleep and wake again
Summon a danger
Summon a danger
Let the feeling feel stranger
