It's a song about the light at the end of the tunnel.

lyrics

Give Way

I'm staring down
into the stream below
watching leaves float by
brown red orange and gold

I'm a fruit on a tree
drying slowly in the wind
I'm a nail in the side
of my boat that's about to sink

I used to have a winning streak
the planets they all lined up
a twinkle in the eye
the fun just never ever stopped

sometimes it feels like I will be too late too late
the wind is rough and it blows hard but I hold on
until it gives way

Don't know if I've come far
or just walked for a long long time
the road has all but gone
there's only sand and I can't see no line

in my dreams I can see myself running for the gate
it's sliding down in slow mo cutting off
the only way ahead

sometimes it feels like I will be too late too late
the wind is rough and it blows hard but I hold on
until it gives way
sometimes it feels like I will be too late too late
the night is cold and it is dark but it won't fail
to give way
to give way
to a new day

sometimes it feels like there is a big weight
riding on me, pushing me down further down
but i hold on until it gives way
sometimes it feels like I will be too late too late
the night is cold and it is dark but it won't fail
to give way
to give way
to a new day

They feature a string quartet and a growing brass section around drums, guitar, piano and vocals, creating a lush backdrop for Neal’s voice to be at home in. Amphibic have leant their cello player to the Divine Comedy once. ... more
