Lyric
Elephant return to the plain
SOMAOTA, DUCK HOUSE
Be suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
Suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
Shadows sway in shallow dreams
A swallowtail lay dead in flames
Hey, Captain! Time sinking air is stagnant
Like a cage or the heart of aged
You wanna leave? wanna stay?
Don't even know neighbor's name
Being chased in a paper chase In search of a rabbit hole yeah
Get away, and away, and away
Closer you get, further you are
Like a mirage a shimmer, past decisions, scars
Bottom of your heart, falling out Into abyss
Disturbing sound of bodymelting
Falling apart World goin’ silent
Elephant return to the plain
Ivy tangles buildings rust, bird is waiting for something
Trees and plants no one can see would be a rich fragrance
Fighting never end, food chain goes on, till the next meteorite
Day and night melt into, The elephant return to the plain
吐息がかった遠い日の声も 恐ろしく長い小説の途中
とりとめない陽だまり探して 雲は動いて 君の声が聞こえたら
Imagine the world after we all die, before we all come to be
Open your mind let the breeze come through, OK
Be suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
Suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
Be suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
Suspicious of what you see
Don't limit what you think
Let your mind be free
吐息がかった遠い日の声も恐ろしく長い小説の途中
とりとめない陽だまり探して雲は動いて 君の声が聞こえたら
途方にかかった時間もきっと恐ろしく長い小説の途中
日翳った自由を解いて雲は動いて 君の声がした方へ
海岸線をなぞった君の声が聞こえた気がしたんだ

SOMAOTA is the MC of the HipHop collective "Black petrol", whose performance at SUMMER SONIC 2023 is still fresh in our minds, and also performed as a solo artist at "Neon Oasis Fest.'24" in Taiwan.
DUCK HOUSE has been gaining attention, including an appearance at the Nakatsugawa SOLAR BUDOKAN in Gifu Prefecture, Japan in 2023.
The EP "Lost Humanity" is a supreme alternative hip-hop with a taste of Experimental Jazz after Robert Glasper, similar to Sen Morimoto and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. It was created with the message that people living in a society that has lost its humanity and become mechanized should look back and reconsider their own lives.
For the sound, we placed importance on a groove that makes the listener's body move and dance naturally.
We feel that the best way to regain the physicality that we usually neglect is to dance to the music.
Lyrically, the song is about the importance of first becoming aware of the abnormality of the society in which we live, and then recovering our "humanity" through what we can do.
