They got airplay on BBC6 by their prolific DJ Tom Robinson, while they’ve featured in Billboard, having #42 in the ‘Uncharted’ chart and as #12 in the ‘Fastest Rising Act’ chart.

The band has shared stages with various artists some of which had some evident impact on their style like Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), Anneke van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh (Anathema & The Gathering), Sivert Høyem (madrugada), Antimater and many more. The band is stated by reviewers and critics to play within the genres of alternative rock, Psychedelic rock, progressive punk, post punk, goth rock, post-grunge, space rock, and electro rock.

Call In Me
Phase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emotions still erratic but I'm sober now
But if there was a shining road for me to take
I'd call upon a darker path to show itself
Have you ever seen me act in such a state
In times of stress just go and look the other way
I lost another charger up in Soho house
Before the driver took me to another place
My head isn't straight
I'm in pain
Take me away
And throw me in the midst of lust
And pray the label covers us
It feels like my bed is a hospital bed
The time is now
For me to claw myself away from pain and doubt
And carry on my shoulders what I started when
Pleasing you was all I really was about
Maybe you'd have someone if I left you then
And so I keep in mind you might have gone away
Or taken on another person's blood to drink
I think that the arrangement we both have is great
It's death at whom I stare
I think she's unaware
And so my heart is enlarged and enflamed
Put me in graves
And throw me in the midst of lust
And pray the label covers us
It feels like my bed is a hospital bed
Throw me in the midst of lust
Throw me in the midst of lust
The lyrics of Phase's song "Call In Me" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and self-reflection. The opening lines suggest that the singer has overcome some personal struggles and is now sober, but still experiences erratic emotions. They express a longing for a different path or direction in life, even if it is one that may be darker or more challenging. The lyrics also touch upon themes of isolation and loss, as the singer mentions losing a charger and taking a ride to another place, possibly metaphorically representing a search for escape or new experiences.
In the chorus, the lyrics take a more introspective turn, with the singer expressing a desire to be thrown into the midst of lust. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for seeking passion or intensity in order to distract from or mask their pain. The mention of a hospital bed adds a sense of vulnerability and the feeling that the singer's personal experiences have taken a toll on their emotional well-being.
The second verse suggests a shift in perspective, as the singer realizes that their focus on pleasing someone else may have prevented them from finding their own happiness. There is a hint of regret in the lines, as the singer contemplates whether the person they are addressing would have moved on or taken solace in the company of someone else. The lyrics suggest that the arrangement between them, perhaps a relationship or partnership, is mutually beneficial in some way, even though the singer expresses a sense of looking at death with an enlarged and inflamed heart.
Overall, "Call In Me" portrays a complex emotional landscape, with the singer searching for direction, grappling with past choices, and seeking connection, even if it leads to moments of intensity and escapism.
Line by Line Meaning
It's over now
The situation or relationship is ended
Emotions still erratic but I'm sober now
Despite still experiencing intense emotions, I am now clear-headed
But if there was a shining road for me to take
If there were a clear and positive path for me to follow
I'd call upon a darker path to show itself
I would choose a more challenging and uncertain path
Have you ever seen me act in such a state
Have you witnessed me in such an emotional and unstable condition
In times of stress just go and look the other way
During times of distress, it's best to ignore my behavior
I lost another charger up in Soho house
I misplaced yet another charger while at Soho house
Before the driver took me to another place
Before the driver transported me to a different location
And so
My head isn't straight
I'm in pain
Take me away
Therefore, my mind is confused and I am suffering. I desire to escape
And throw me in the midst of lust
Place me in the midst of intense desire and passion
And pray the label covers us
Hoping that society's judgment or expectations hides our actions
It feels like my bed is a hospital bed
I feel like my bed represents a place of illness or distress
The time is now
For me to claw myself away from pain and doubt
The present moment is when I must forcefully free myself from suffering and uncertainty
And carry on my shoulders what I started when
Pleasing you was all I really was about
I must bear the responsibility for the choices I made when my sole focus was making you happy
Maybe you'd have someone if I left you then
Perhaps you would have found someone else if I had left you at that time
And so I keep in mind you might have gone away
Therefore, I constantly remind myself that you may have moved on
Or taken on another person's blood to drink
Or engaged in a new relationship to find solace
I think that the arrangement we both have is great
I believe that the agreement or understanding between us is beneficial
It's death at whom I stare
I think she's unaware
I contemplate death and believe it is unaware of my current state
And so my heart is enlarged and enflamed
Put me in graves
As a result, my heart is filled with intense emotions and desire for death. Bury me
Throw me in the midst of lust
Place me in the middle of intense desire and passion
And throw me in the midst of lust
Place me in the middle of intense desire and passion

This is an excellent track! to me it seems to have that old school pulp fiction flow/style/vibe about it I’m sure you can here it. In fact if you doubled pulp fiction in with this I doubt you would tell the difference
