Yo,
Psyched Up
[Verse 1]
Getting psyched
Highlight excite
Fuse lit
Soon to ignite
[Chorus]
Good things about to happen
Taking on the absurd
Made a sword out of pen
Stroking out the word
[Bridge]
Haven’t you heard
You best days lie ahead
Scribe the word so it’s read
What’s true will cure you
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills, Bass]
[Verse 2]
Oh so psyched
Pen and paper reunite
The message we send
Love through The End
[Chorus]
Good things about to happen
Taking on the absurd
Made a sword out of pen
Stroking out the word
[Bridge]
Haven’t you heard
You best days lie ahead
Scribe the word so it’s read
What’s true will cure you
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills, Bass]
[Outro]
Getting psyched
Up
[End]
A SCIENCE NOTE
This is a song about a climate scientist encouraging others to go to battle with social media climate change deniers. On this day, it was about the coral reef tipping point:
Coral reefs face unprecedented challenges stemming from various stressors, many of which are directly linked to human activities. These stressors possess critical tipping points, beyond which coral ecosystems face the risk of collapse. According to the European Geosciences Union’s statement in January 2024, specific tipping points include a temperature increase of 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels and atmospheric CO2 concentrations exceeding 350 parts per million. Alarmingly, as of February 2024, the Earth’s yearly average temperature has already risen to +1.5°C and CO2 levels to 425 ppm, emphasizing the urgent need to address climate-related threats to coral reefs.
In a significant update from May 2024, scientists determined through tree ring analysis that the average temperature increase in 2023 reached 2.07 degrees Celsius, further underscoring the escalating pace of climate change and its profound impact on global ecosystems.
