Amel Larrieux - Gills And Tails Lyrics






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 I Come Up
[x3]

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

  58. N.... R....

    I love this song, the chorus, the vocals. but I do not get the lyrics. someone plz explain! lol

  59. M.... C....

    she's coming to MD this month... got my tickets, CAN'T WAIT☺☺☺☺

  60. S.... E....

    Why does the "underrated" comment have to be acknowledged simply because she not up in lights or being spinned on mainstream radio! Personally, I believe that if she wanted all that, the opportunity still exist. When it's about what you love, you'll continue to produce and those that appreciate your work will always support regardless. I love Amel, she's presents the essence of what it is to be an artist of any kind. I Love and respect her work!

  61. L.... ....

    I love me some Amel Larrieux! I do love this song! Wish she'd made a video for it.  Still, she's one of my very favorite artists.

  62. R.... B....

    Can't tell how long I've been in the company of gills and tails.....

  68. W.... S....

    Amel is one of the most underrated artists out today. What a great track.

  69. C.... Y....

    One time I listen it's about conformity and individualism.  Next time it's about relationships.  Next time...big monopolies versus small business. I love it.

    C.... Y....

    That speaks to the beauty of her music and lyrics. It is wide open for interpretation. Like you, I hear different things depending on where my head is when I'm listening.

    C.... Y....
