[Intro]
[Bridge]
Ohm, ohm, ohm
Less resistance
Go the distance
Know the difference
Energy synergy
Om, Om, Om
Aum, Aum, Aum
[Verse 1]
Get ready
Hold steady
The wind starts to blow
Already
Quite deadly
Oh, oh, oh…
… oh, oh, no
[Chorus]
Trees torn from limb to limb
Airborne
Better ask himmmm…
To come down off his throne
And take care back at home
[Break]
[Bridge]
Ohm, ohm, ohm
Less resistance
Go the distance
Know the difference
Energy synergy
Om, Om, Om
Aum, Aum, Aum

[Verse 2]
Get ready
Hold steady
The cracks start to show
Already
Quite deadly
Oh, oh, oh…
… oh, oh, no
[Verse 3]
Get ready
Old steady
It’s time for us to go
Already
Quite deadly
Oh, oh, oh…
… oh, oh, no
[Chorus]
Trees torn from limb to limb
Airborne
Better ask himmmm…
To come down off his throne
And take care back at home
[Break]

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
Ohm is the SI unit of electrical resistance, representing the measure of opposition to the flow of electric current within a circuit. It quantifies the resistance of a material or component when an electrical potential difference of one volt is applied across it, resulting in the passage of one ampere of current.
“Ohm Om” serves as a poignant metaphor for humanity’s resistance to adapting to climate change. The repetition of “Ohm” and “Om” echoes the meditative chant, suggesting a call for inner peace and harmony amidst turmoil.
In the song, the wind symbolizes the force of climate change, gradually intensifying and becoming more destructive. Despite the warning signs, there’s a reluctance to acknowledge the impending danger. The repetition of “Get ready, hold steady” underscores a sense of preparation and resilience, yet there’s a growing realization of the severity of the situation (“Already, quite deadly”).
The imagery of trees being torn limb from limb and the cracks starting to show reflects the visible impacts of climate change on the environment. Despite these signs, there’s a reluctance to take action (“Better ask him… to come down off his throne”), perhaps representing the inertia and resistance within society to address the issue.
As the song progresses, there’s a sense of urgency (“It’s time for us to go”), acknowledging the need for decisive action in the face of escalating threats. The repetition of “Ohm, ohm, ohm” and “Less resistance” highlights the need to overcome barriers and embrace change.
Ultimately, “Ohm Om” encourages a shift towards greater awareness, unity, and synergy in confronting the challenges of climate change. It calls for a collective effort to transcend resistance and embrace a more sustainable and harmonious relationship with the natural world.
