[Intro]
How do you
(Fa, fa, fa) Feel

[Verse 1]
What’s the real deal
Is it mirrors and smoke
Afraid of the woke

[Bridge]
How do you
(Fa, fa, fa) Feel

[Chorus]
Electrostatic music
(Shockingly)
A “living battery”
(We all can be)

[Bridge]
Shockingly
(“living battery”)
The light… to see

[Verse 2]
Is it a for real deal
Where you break with take
And live to give

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
How do you
(Fa, fa, fa) Feel
Shockingly
(Like a “living battery”)
The light… to see
(The light in you n’ me)
Enlighten to be free
… incite insight
(Toward tranquility)

[Chorus]

[Outro]
… shockingly
(Turn on your “living battery”)
turn on the light… to see
Light up! Be.
(Enlighten n’ free)
Incite insight
(To tranquility)
The infinity
(In eternity)
At the speed of light
(Light, light, light)

ABOUT THE SONG
Electric eels don’t just swim — they illuminate. Their bodies are wired with thousands of electrocytes stacked in series, each one a spark waiting to fire. When a nerve signal flips the switch, these cells release their charge in perfect unison, summing their potentials into a jolt strong enough to light the dark and still the waters. Head to tail, positive to negative, the eel becomes a “living battery,” bending the current of nature itself.

In F Eel, that same principle becomes a metaphor for love. We are wired with the same potential — charged when we connect, luminous when we give, unstoppable when we unite. Like the eel’s electric field that surrounds and transforms everything near it, our love can ripple out, shockingly powerful, illuminating the path toward freedom, insight, and tranquility.

Turn it on. Feel it. Be the light.

Can’t you see
(The seaweed)
The decree
(Do the deed)

[Chorus]
Guess it’s time I’m
Swabbing the poop deck
The voyage dim and grim
(What the heck?)

[Bridge]
Swab the poop deck!
(Way, hay, and up she rises)
There are no surprises
(Way, hay, and up she rises)

[Verse 2]
If there’s a fire
(Situation turns dire)
Yes, indeed
(Do the deed)

[Chorus]
Guess it’s time I’m
Swabbing the poop deck

[Outro]
Swab the poop deck!

ABOUT THE SONG
The song is a metaphor for social responsibility.

“Swab the poop deck” means to mop the highest, rearmost deck of a ship. This instruction was given to keep the wooden deck damp to prevent it from drying out, rotting, and becoming a fire hazard, especially around gunpowder. It also served to clean away salt and seaweed from the deck and keep the crew occupied on long voyages.

Why was the poop deck swabbed?
Preventing fire: In an era of cannons and gunpowder, a damp deck could reduce the risk of fire.
Preserving the wood: Keeping the wooden planks moist helped them to swell, which sealed the seams and prevented water from seeping into the lower decks. It also helped to prevent the wood from drying out and becoming brittle.
Fighting fungus: Saltwater helps to prevent fungus and mold from growing on the wooden planks.
Cleaning: Regular swabbing cleaned away dried salt, dirt, and seaweed that collected on the deck.
Discipline and boredom: On long voyages, swabbing the deck was a task that kept sailors busy and prevented idleness and boredom.

ABOUT THE SONG

The song uses the metaphor of the entire alphabet of life—“from aardvark to zebra”—to emphasize that climate change touches every species, everywhere on Earth. No creature is outside its reach, from the most obscure insect to the largest predator, from the equator to the poles.

In Verse 1, the lyrics “Pretty hard to find a reason (Why you don’t know why) / This late in the season (And, still a far cry….)” suggest disbelief that, despite decades of evidence and warnings, denial and delay persist. Humanity has had ample time (“late in the season”) to recognize and act, yet meaningful progress remains “a far cry” from what is needed.

The Chorus—“from aardvark to zebra … top of the world … to the south pole”—creates a global sweep, showing how climate disruption cascades across ecosystems. It highlights interconnectedness: warming oceans, shifting jet streams, melting ice sheets, and collapsing habitats affect all living beings. The line “Everyone (everywhere…) is aware” reflects the undeniable visibility of climate impacts now—wildfires, floods, extinctions, record heatwaves—so the ignorance that once provided cover is no longer credible.

The Bridge—“Watch you don’t fall off (As we roll) / ’cause the going got rough (Takin’ a toll)”—frames Earth as a spinning planet in peril. The warning is that the destabilizing forces of climate change (sea-level rise, stronger storms, collapsing ecosystems) are already “taking a toll,” threatening to push societies and natural systems past tipping points.

In Verse 2, “If there’s blame for shame / (They’re one and the same)” speaks to accountability. Those responsible for fossil fuel extraction, denial, and delay are the same actors creating conditions of shame for future generations. The line “A bit late for reason (So, all along… we’ll dream on)” reflects the bitter irony that while reason and science have been clear, society has instead clung to comforting illusions—“dreaming on” rather than facing reality.

Finally, the Outro—“Spinning round (Smile or frown) / Sit or stand (Understand?)”—invites reflection: whether people choose complacency or action, the Earth will keep spinning, but the livability of our planet is what hangs in the balance. It’s a call to understand that denial or passivity will not stop consequences, while awareness and action might still alter the trajectory.

Tipping points and feedback loops drive the acceleration of climate change. When one tipping point is toppled and triggers others, the cascading collapse is known as the Domino Effect.

[Intro]
Can you bring wind…
(For under my wings)

[Verse 1]
I need friction
(For wheels to move me)
Energization
(Vigorous to us)
… obviously

[Chorus]
Can you bring wind…
(For under my wings)
Fill our sail
(And soar some more)

[Bridge]
Up, up and away
(A harmonious way)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]
Surface tension
(We’ll walk on water)
Did I mention….
(Energization)
Vigorous to us
… sons and daughters

[Chorus]

[Outro]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
Up, up and away
(A harmonious way)
Above the foray
(Beyond dismay)

A SCIENCE NOTE

The song Energization weaves core physics concepts into musical imagery about movement, flight, and vitality.

In Verse 1, the line “I need friction (For wheels to move me)” reflects the fundamental role of friction in mechanics. Friction is the resistive force that allows wheels to grip the ground—without it, a wheel would simply spin in place. Cars, bicycles, and even walking all rely on friction to translate force into forward motion. The call for “wind under my wings” in the Chorus invokes aerodynamics: lift is generated when moving air creates pressure differences across a wing’s surface, allowing flight. Similarly, “Fill our sail” references wind energy harnessed through momentum transfer, which propels sailing vessels.

Verse 2 brings in “Surface tension (We’ll walk on water).” Surface tension arises from cohesive forces between water molecules, which are held together by hydrogen bonding. At the surface, water molecules are pulled inward, forming a kind of elastic film. This is why water beads up into droplets, insects like water striders can walk across ponds, and why tiny objects can float despite being denser than water.

The theme of energization ties all of this together: energy transfer is what makes systems move, fly, float, or resonate. Friction converts chemical energy into motion, wind transfers kinetic energy into lift or thrust, and surface tension redistributes molecular energy into stability at interfaces.

Finally, the repeated line “Up, up and away (A harmonious way)” suggests the unifying principle of physics: diverse forces and energies can interact harmoniously, creating balance and motion across scales—from the wheels on the ground, to the wind in the sails, to the molecules at the surface of water.
