Gills and Tails

YOU REALLY Have to be a thinker to be a fan of Amel...She sings the hell out of my blues! This song is on repeat today....

CAN I COME UP FOR AIR?? Who doesnt feel like that? Who hasnt looked at something said "aaawh let me try this" and dove head first into a situation that you quickly realized you did not fit into... When she says shes in the company of Gills and Tails.. I feel that! I feel when she mentions how she's not built like them, and she is longing to come up for air.... AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!

Take a listen (Read the Lyrics... so Deep)



i looked at my reflection in the water
thought what an unlikely pair
closed my eyes, held my breath, plummeted down,down,down
and anchored myself there

can't tell how long i've been
in the company of gills and tails
i think i feel my skin
growing scales

chorus
can i come up for air
can i come up, can come up
(repeat 3x)

i'm gettin' eaten up down here
i'm just not built like them
the big fish have a monopoly
the little fish get buried in the sand

this here world i'm in
sucks your life out, leaves you comatose
take back your salt and fins
send me a lifeboat

chorus

i look up at longing at the surface
hypnotized by the way the sunlight seems to ride each ripple
and they do a dance
every ray becomes a beckoning hand
i miss the sweet taste of oxygen
i mistook this for the promised land
