Get through the throes….
(Who knows?)

[Verse 1]
Do you find
(The times trying)
Do you mind
(Not crying)

[Bridge]
Get through the throes….
(Who knows?)

[Chorus]
We can through
(I promise you)
It’s what we do
(That gets us through)

[Verse 2]
Do you see
(The reality)
Do you try
(To take off… fly)

[Bridge]
Get through the throes….

ABOUT THE SONG
“Turbulent” describes a state of chaotic, irregular, or violent motion.

Fluid dynamics:
This refers to chaotic motion in liquids or gases, where the flow is not in smooth, parallel layers. Examples include:

    • Turbulent air causing a bumpy ride in an airplane
    • Turbulent water in rapids or the sea

Abstract turbulence: this describes periods of great disorder, change, or conflict. A turbulent era in history, such as the social revolutions of the 1960s or the collapse of the US in the Trump era.

[Intro]
You think this is mud…?
(Here comes the flood)
Do you know…
How the forces flow?

[Verse 1]
Under the strain
(Of the violent rain)
Their violent reign
Poured on the poor

[Bridge]
Already up to our ears in mud…
(Here comes the flood)

[Chorus]
Do you know…
(How the forces flow?)
Scale with the square
(… of the velocities)

[Bridge]
Sure to impair
(Their hypocrisies)

[Verse 2]
Feel the pain
(Of the violent rain)
Their violent reign
(Poured poor some more)

[Bridge]
Already up to our ears in mud…
(Here comes the flood)

[Chorus]
Do you know…
(How the forces flow?)
Scale with the square
(… of the velocities)

[Bridge]
Sure to impair
(Their hypocrisies)

[Outro]
Here comes the flood
(Better head higher and higher)
Here comes the flood
(If any ground can be found)
Here comes the flood
Hands stained with blood
(Here comes the flood)
Watch the fall of all
(Here comes the flood)
Thud!

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
What turns these severe weather events into ‘violent rain events’ is the application of the drag equation and flow dynamics.

Mass and velocity are just part of the equation; density also plays a key role. The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase — due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall — the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.

For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it’s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind.

As flow velocities increase due to climate change, the forces — and thus the damage — scale with the square of the velocities. While we may not know precisely how much velocities will rise with climate change, we’re already seeing the effects: overwhelmed flood and sewage systems, collapsing hillsides, and more.

ABOUT THE SONG
The vortex physics of a toilet flush are primarily governed by gravity, fluid dynamics and turbulence.

Key Physical Principles

  • Gravity and Siphoning: The primary force driving the flush is gravity. When you flush, a large amount of water is rapidly released into the bowl. This rush of water fills the curved “trapway” (an upside-down U-shaped tube) at the base of the toilet, creating a siphon effect. This siphoning action rapidly sucks all the water and waste from the bowl down into the sewer line.
  • Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence: The rapid, forceful entry of water into the bowl creates significant turbulence and circular motion (vortical motion). As the water is drawn toward the central drain hole, the rotation speeds up due to the conservation of angular momentum, similar to how a figure skater spins faster when they pull their arms in.

ABOUT THE SONG
A complex song can be called different things depending on the type of complexity, such as a polyphony for multiple independent melodies, a contrapuntal piece for intricate and interwoven lines, or a fugue for a specific structure. Other terms include polyrhythm or polymeter for rhythmic complexity, or a piece with complex harmonies or changing time signatures, like those found in Balkan music.

Rhythmically complex: This could involve techniques like polyrhythm (two or more conflicting rhythms at once), polymeter (different meters in different parts), or odd time signatures, as seen in some Balkan music.
