a gif of a wobbly skull looping with an infinite growth pattern.  concentric optical lines grow from around the skull in a counterchanging black, magenta, violet, and dark blue pattern.  above the skull's head is the word "Quantaphoria" the band's official name and this is their logo, glowing green and reflecting on the skull's head.

Upside-down

Beautiful Pollution

Album

Everything flows
in and out
Between states of mind
Nothing is what it seems

We all glow now
Living light
Completely blind.
What goes on after this dream? dream dream dream.

Waking up now
For the first time
When I died
They laid me in a grave just to sleep

When I went down
I rose up on the other side
Walked into the light
So I could see

Whoa Oh Oh Oh! I climb and push my way out, upside-down
Climb my way out, Upside-down
Climb my way out, Upside-down

How do I escape being Upside-down
As I'm walking through this place, I'm Upside-down
Can't tell if I'm smiling or if it's a frown
Climb my way out, Upside-down
The sky is an ocean that's Upside-down
The deeper that I go, I wanna hang around
Discover the mysteries of light and sound
I'm out of air, Better turn around

The longer that I'm here
I forget
before
Time erases everything

All The things that made me sad
They start to make me mad
As I drift away from memories

Swimming through space
I feel liquid gravity
The weight of eternity

Going up toward the ground
I can see I'm buried now
Remembering I'm upside-down

Whoa Oh Oh Oh! I climb and push my way out, upside-down
Climb my way out, Upside-down
Climb my way out, Upside-down

How do I escape being Upside-down
As I'm walking through this place, I'm Upside-down
Can't tell if I'm smiling or if it's a frown
Climb my way out, Upside-down
The sky is an ocean that's Upside-down
The deeper that I go, I wanna hang around
Discover the mysteries of light and sound
I'm out of air, Better turn around

Life is a journey to another world
As we all fail and fight and bleed
Our souls fill up with all we see
Learning to be anything
Is such a wonderful mystery
As we all wail and cry and need
Our bodies age with all the grief
Learning to heal everything
Better than any machine
