“triassic love song”

by Paris Paloma, from her album Cacophony, is inspired by the “Triassic cuddle”-a 250-million-year-old fossil of a protomammal and an amphibian found side by side, as if embracing, after being trapped by a flood. The song uses this ancient image as a metaphor for intimate connection and finding safety with a loved one, even as the world outside remains threatening. Its lyrics evoke the warmth and vulnerability of sheltering together, expressing a longing to delay parting and to keep each other safe
