[Verse]
He’s a climate change denier
Can’t see the flames get higher
With his listening deficit
Ignorance won’t let him get it
Keeps on denying the facts
Living in his own abstract
Thinking he’s got it all figured out
But he’s just spreading doubt
[Verse 2]
He’s got his head in the sand
Can’t comprehend
Won’t understand
Blinded by his own stubborn pride
While the world is starting to slide
He’s got no time for science
He’s caught up in defiance
Thinking he’s above it all
While the planet’s taking a fall
[Chorus]
Hey
Climate change denier
Can you feel the fire?
Your ears are deaf
Your mind is blind
The truth you’ll never find
Ignoring the warning signs
You’re playing with our time
But we won’t be silent
We’ll stand up and keep on fighting
A SCIENCE NOTE
“Denial” paints a vivid portrait of a climate change denier who remains obstinate in the face of overwhelming evidence. In the verses, the denier is depicted as someone who refuses to acknowledge the escalating environmental crisis, choosing instead to ignore the “flames” of climate change as they intensify. Despite a “listening deficit” and an inability to grasp the severity of the situation, the denier persists in denying the scientific facts, clinging to their own abstract beliefs.
The imagery of having “his head in the sand” symbolizes the denier’s willful ignorance and refusal to confront the truth. While the world faces dire consequences, the denier remains steadfast in their denial, driven by stubborn pride and defiance. The chorus serves as a direct call-out to the denier, urging them to recognize the urgency of the situation and the need for action. Despite their reluctance to listen, the song emphasizes the determination of others to continue fighting for environmental justice and awareness.
