The Amphibian
Echoes of Amphibian Dreams: Unveiling Life's Phases Through Steve Kilbey's Melody
Lyrics
On to the next dream we run
Transitioning to the next aspiration or ambition
But still I feel like I've been stung
Feeling emotionally hurt or affected
With all the phrases I've been sung
Referencing lyrics or phrases in songs
All the puppets I've hung among
Being amidst conformist or manipulated individuals
I can't forget their stupid eyes
Recollection of insincere or foolish looks of others
Their vague attempts to patronize
Others' attempts to condescend or belittle
The very nonsense I despise
Expressing disdain for nonsensical behavior
While sizing up their pig sty's prize
Evaluating the value of others' achievements
Amphibian baby, I hardly know your name
Addressing an unknown or mysterious figure
But ever since you came in me
Significant impact or change due to this mysterious figure
I haven't been the same
Remarkable influence altering one's self
You've got your certain method
Unique approach or technique possessed by the figure
Time is up your sleeve
Figurative reference to the control over time
Old age crawls inside your bod
Symbolic representation of aging and mortality
And waits for me to leave
Acknowledging mortality in contrast to the figure
I must have left my keys somewhere
Sense of misplacement or forgetfulness
I must have left my drink somewhere
Similar sense of misplacement with a drink
I must have left my drugs somewhere
Further instances of feeling lost or disoriented
I must have left my clothes somewhere
Continued theme of misplaced items
I must have left my flesh somewhere
Symbolic absence of physical presence
I must have left my bones somewhere
Implied loss of strength or support
I must have left my soul somewhere
Loss of spiritual or emotional essence
Don't bother to count, the money's all there
Confirmation of not needing to count money
Amphibian baby, I've dealt with you before
Recollection of past encounters with the mysterious figure
Your gills and pills won't pay my bills
Realization that the figure's traits won't solve financial issues
I'm showing you the door
Decisively ending the association with the figure
The rain is beating harder
Intensification of external challenges
The fabric that we weave
Complexity of life's interwoven situations
Blow my cover of a grotesque fish
Revealing a hidden or unappealing aspect of oneself
And waits for me to leave
Recognition of mortality amidst disclosed flaws
I need some words, I just made this up, I can't be sure.....
Expressing uncertainty about spoken words
It's me in that picture....
Identification with an image or representation
There I was, out here....
Personal reflection in a particular setting
Wrote me a letter, so many letters.....
Recollection of receiving multiple communications
It all seems so long ago...
Distance or detachment from past events
