The Labyrinth

What do you think we might
Find in the labyrinth tonight?

[Instrumental, Acoustic Guitar, Upright Bass]

[Verse 1]
The water’s slowly spinning round and round
Heading, heading ever, forever down
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
[Bridge]
Quite, right in. Quite, right in
(not quite yet)

[Chorus]
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to figure out about….
The labyrinth (the labyrinth)

[Instrumental, Piano Solo, Upright Bass]

[Verse 2]
What are you afraid of in the labyrinth?
(Can you give me a hint)
Under my bed (In my head)
Bad guys (In disguise)
My brain and the drain
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
[Bridge]
Quite, right in. Quite, right in
(not quite yet)

[Chorus]
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to figure out about….
The labyrinth (the labyrinth)

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Upright Bass]

[Verse 3]
But, I know that if we try
(Try to use our mind’s eye)
We can make the walls come,
Tubmlin’ down (down, down, down)

[Bridge]
(Walls all around.)
Walls of the labyrinth come tumblin’ down.
Walls come tumbling down.
The walls come tumbling down,
all around… (all around…) all around… (all around.)

[Outro]
The water’s slowly spinning round and round
Heading, heading ever, forever down
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
Not quite yet

[End]

Apocalyptic Vision

It’s like I’m looking down a real long hall…
There’s your car in the middle of the tracks,
Sittin’ stalled.
(Facts)

[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]
I’ve got a thing I’ve gotta get through.
Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.
It’s got something to do with you (and, me, too)

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse]
There you sit.
Your car’s at a stall …
Engine Number 9,
is coming down the line.

[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]
I’ve got a thing I’ve gotta get through.
Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.
It’s got something to do with you (and, me, too)

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse 2]
Here’s your car in the middle of the tracks…
Sittin’ stalled
Just like a tin of a beer can,
You’re gonna be crushed to a hush.

[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]
I’ve got a thing I’ve gotta get through.
Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.
It’s got something to do with you (and, me, too)

[Outro]
The human race
Has been put outta place.

Give Your Heart an Attack

Give your heart an attack

[Verse]
Open your heart…
Just a… a crack
And, give your heart
An attack
Let a splinter of light
Pierce that black of night
… and, give you second sight?

Still Floating

Going under
Is it any wonder

[Verse 1]
The state is still floating
The water so high
Only choice is boating
Or to fly

[Bridge]
The days go by
Yet, we can’t get dry

[Chorus]
Brazil, still, under water
More than a week and still the havoc
Send in god’s blotter
The state of the state — a wreck

[Instrumental, Sub-bass, Berimbau, Atabaque Drum, Pandeiro]

[Verse 2]
Inundated, shouldn’t have waited
Confessing it’s distressing
Inundated, isolated
More storms on the way
Will we last another day

[Bridge]
The days go by
Yet, we can’t get dry

[Chorus]
Brazil, still, under water
More than a week and still the havoc
Send in god’s blotter
The state of the state — a wreck

[Instrumental, Sub-bass, Berimbau, Atabaque Drum, Pandeiro]

[Verse 3]
The state is still floating
The only access there, by air
Recovery after discovery
Of land (Do you understand?)

[Bridge]
The days go by
Yet, we can’t get dry

[Chorus]
Brazil, still, under water
More than a week and still the havoc
Send in god’s blotter
The state of the state — a wreck

[End]

A SCIENCE NOTE
On May 10, 2024, when a representative of Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul was asked about “recovery” after weeks of historic flooding, she responded, “The state is still floating.”

Can’t Hide

No, you can’t hide
From genocide

[Instrumental, Strings, Percussion]

[Verse 1]
Children lying in the street
All stopped crying, have no feet
Mothers mourning children
Over and over again (over and over)

[Bridge]
Are your eyes open (wide)
Can you see (can’t hide)
Hit again and again
How can it be?

Situation continues dire
I’m losing count
As the death toll mounts
[Break]
No, you can’t hide
From genocide (no, can’t hide)

[Verse 2]
Children dying in masses
Time to say, “No more free passes”
No more motherless children
Say it over again (over and over)
(No more for sure!)

Are your eyes open (wide)
Can you see (can’t hide)
Hit again and again
How can it be?

On the inside of a genocide

Apt to Adapt?

[Verse]
In the thick of the jungle
A battle’s begun
Climate adaptation
We’re out in the sun
Frictions and uncertainties
They’re tearing us apart
Lower technology adoption
It’s a poison dart

[Verse 2]
Beliefs are inaccurate
It’s a dangerous game
Monetary losses
They’re causing us pain
We’re stuck in a cycle
We can’t break free
The cost of ignorance
It’s plain to see

[Chorus]
Apt to Adapt
The road is rough
Jungle rock revival
We’ve had enough
Frictions and losses
They’re driving us mad
It’s time to rise up
Take a stand

[Bridge]
Apt to adapt
Pick yourself up by the bootstrap

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
Beliefs just are not true
What are you going to do
Losses mount
Can’t you count?

[Chorus]
Apt to Adapt
The road is rough
Jungle rock revival
We’ve had enough
Frictions and losses
They’re driving us mad
It’s time to rise up
Take a stand

[Outro]
Crap!
Can I adapt?

[End]

A SCIENCE NOTE

As the climate changes, efficient climate policy requires a better understanding of how individuals adapt. Despite extensive research on various climate adaptation frictions, including financial and technological constraints, models of adaptive decision-making assume that agents have perfect information and accurate beliefs about climate. Combining rural household data in Bangladesh with a meteorological measure of dryness, this paper studies the role of individual drought beliefs and their accuracy in irrigation decisions as a key adaptive margin. In a theoretical model, I introduce a behavioral friction to document how heterogeneous beliefs differentially influence responsiveness to the same meteorological signal in dryness. The empirical analysis reveals an asymmetric response to dry shocks in irrigation conditional on the accuracy of prior beliefs. A counterfactual analysis shows lower technology adoption levels and higher monetary losses when beliefs are inaccurate.

Mount Washington

[Verse]
In the land where the winds howl and tear
Mount Washington
Don’t you dare compare
To the calm and serene
This ain’t no joke
Blistering cold like a hit from a sledgehammer stroke

[Verse]
Minus forty-three
I can’t even breathe
But I won’t back down
I won’t concede
Mother Nature’s wrath
She’s got her own plan
Winds over two hundred
Rippin’ through this land

[Verse]
Frozen air pierces like a dagger in my chest
But I ain’t no quitter
I’ll endure the test
Mount Washington
You’re the baddest of the bad
The world’s extreme
Weather runnin’ wild and mad

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Break]
I mean… Extreme!

[Bridge]
Trying to mount the mount
Does effort count?
I mean extreme….

[Chorus]
Blow me down
I’m gonna climb up
Freeze the breeze
My brain is gonna seize

[Outro]
On the summit
Made it
Full of an awe-inspiring spectacle

[End]

A SCIENCE NOTE
Nestled within the rugged terrain of the White Mountains in New Hampshire, Mount Washington stands as a formidable testament to the raw power of nature, renowned for its unparalleled display of extreme weather phenomena. Situated at its summit, an unforgiving environment unfolds, characterized by bone-chilling temperatures plummeting to staggering lows of -43°F (-42°C), capable of freezing one’s breath in mid-air.

Fingers in My Ears

[Verse]
Got the rhythm of rock
Spitting beats in your ears
But I ain’t here to talk about your foolish fears
I see the signs
The world’s running out of time
But I got my fingers in my ears
Blocking out the rhymes

[Verse 2]
Can’t you see the smoke
The planet’s going up in flames
But you keep on playing these mindless games
You’re blind to the truth
You’re living in a lie
While mother nature’s screaming
But you just deny

[Chorus]
Fingers in my ears
I refuse to hear the cries
Blind to the truth
While the world slowly dies
But I won’t back down
I won’t stay silent
Gonna scream and shout
’til the earth is defiant

A SCIENCE NOTE
“Fingers in My Ears” depicts the act of climate change denial through the metaphor of covering one’s ears to avoid hearing uncomfortable truths. The song portrays a sense of urgency and frustration as the singer confronts those who refuse to acknowledge the reality of the environmental crisis.

In the first verse, the lyrics describe the singer’s awareness of the signs of impending disaster, symbolized by the “rhythm of rock” and “beats in your ears.” Despite recognizing the urgency of the situation, the subject chooses to block out the truth by metaphorically putting their “fingers in [their] ears.” This represents a deliberate act of denial and avoidance of reality.

The second verse further emphasizes the severity of the situation, highlighting the destructive consequences of environmental degradation. The imagery of smoke and flames symbolizes the planet’s deterioration due to human activities, such as deforestation and fossil fuel combustion. Despite the clear evidence of environmental harm, the subject remains willfully ignorant and continues to prioritize their own comfort over acknowledging the truth.

The chorus reinforces the theme of denial and resistance to facing the reality of climate change. The repeated phrase “Fingers in my ears” serves as a metaphor for the subject’s refusal to listen to reason or accept responsibility for their role in the crisis. However, the defiant tone of the chorus suggests a determination to challenge this denial and advocate for action to address the environmental crisis. Ultimately, the song calls for a collective awakening and commitment to confronting climate change denial in order to protect the planet and secure a sustainable future.

Revolution of Clarity

[Verse]
Can’t hear the truth through your blinded ears
Your ignorance grows with each passing year
Claiming global warming is just a myth
But the evidence is here
Can’t you see it
Man?

[Verse]
You say it’s a natural cycle
That we’ll be fine
But the earth is dying
Can’t you read the signs?
Ozone depleting
Ice caps melting
But you turn a blind eye
Your ego swelling

[Verse]
It’s a listening deficit
You can’t comprehend
The science
The facts
You just don’t understand
But we won’t stand silent
We’ll shout it loud
Global warming is real
We’re breaking through the cloud

A SCIENCE NOTE

Revolution Reborn

[Verse]
Politician on the throne
A listening deficit he’s shown
Clutching onto power
While our world’s turning to stone
Denying climate change
While kids suffer the pain
It’s time to rise up
Scream out in disdain

[Verse 2]
His pockets lined with gold
While the future’s being sold
Children bear the cost
Their innocence is tossed
We won’t stay silent
We won’t back down
Gonna shake the foundations
Bring this madness to the ground

[Chorus]
We won’t be silenced
We won’t be deceived
This revolution reborn
It’s time to achieve
Stand up for justice
For our planet’s sake
No more denial
It’s time to awake

A SCIENCE NOTE
“Revolution Reborn” is a rallying cry for action and change in the face of political indifference and denial regarding climate change. The song portrays a vivid picture of a world where politicians prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants.

In the first verse, the lyrics paint a portrait of a politician who is deaf to the cries of those affected by climate change. Despite overwhelming evidence and the suffering of children, the politician clings to power and denies the reality of the crisis. The verse calls for a response from the people, urging them to rise up and demand accountability from their leaders.

The second verse delves deeper into the consequences of political inaction, highlighting the disparity between the politician’s wealth and the struggles faced by future generations. Children are depicted as the most vulnerable victims of environmental degradation, their innocence sacrificed for the sake of profit and power. The verse emphasizes the need for collective action and resistance against the status quo.

The chorus serves as a defiant declaration of resilience and determination. It rejects the idea of complacency and passive acceptance, urging listeners to stand up for justice and the protection of the planet. The phrase “Revolution Reborn” symbolizes a renewed commitment to fighting for change and holding those in power accountable for their actions. Overall, the song inspires hope and mobilization in the face of adversity, advocating for a brighter future built on environmental stewardship and social justice.

Denial

[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.

Denying the Heat

[Verse]
He’s a climate change denier
With a skull full of fire
Blinded by his ego
Can’t see the world’s getting dire
Got a listening deficit
Ain’t hearing no facts
Living in a bubble
Ignorance is his only act

He’s screaming out loud
“It’s all a bunch of lies!”
Turns a blind eye
While the planet slowly dies
But the truth is out there
In the rising tides and heat
The signs are all around
Can’t you feel the heartbeat?

[Verse 2]
His head’s buried in the sand
Can’t face the harsh reality
Ain’t no time for games
We’re running out of sanity
With each passing day
The earth cries in distress
But he just keeps denying
Fueling the world’s mess

A SCIENCE NOTE
This song paints a vivid picture of a climate change denier who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge the reality of the environmental crisis. The first verse describes the denier as someone who is consumed by their own ego and unable to comprehend the severity of the situation. They are depicted as having a “listening deficit” and living in a self-imposed bubble of ignorance.

Despite overwhelming evidence, the denier adamantly rejects the truth, dismissing climate change as “a bunch of lies” and choosing to ignore the signs of environmental degradation. Meanwhile, the planet suffers, with rising temperatures and sea levels symbolized by “the rising tides and heat.”

In the second verse, the song emphasizes the denier’s willful ignorance and avoidance of reality. Metaphorically, their “head’s buried in the sand,” indicating a refusal to confront the truth. While the world faces unprecedented challenges, the denier remains steadfast in their denial, contributing to the worsening state of the planet.

The song serves as a poignant commentary on the damaging impact of climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action to address the crisis before it’s too late.

Now which ways?

[Verse 1]
Climbed the tallest tree

And She said to me
Son! Save “we”!

[Chorus]
They’re fighting left and right
In fact, everywhere in sight
While the temperatures go higher
The world caught on fire
[Break]
Fire!

[Bridge]
Confess,
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess
Climb the tallest tree (and see)
Climb the highest mountain (again)
Shout it out
Tell ’em what it’s about!

[Outro]
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess

[End]

A SCIENCE NOTE
Human-induced climate change is a dynamic component of an intricate and unordered system, as per chaos theory. This implies that global warming is accelerating exponentially in a complex manner. Over the period from 1992 to 2023, we have presented compelling evidence, proposed remedies to mitigate climate change, and amassed valuable information through the engagement of millions with this climate model. Your participation has been invaluable. The incontrovertible data underscores that human-induced climate change is rapidly deteriorating our habitat.

This climate model / experiment employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy in the climate system, which comprises various subsystems. Chaos theory underscores the intricate and nonlinear nature of dynamic systems. Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5-degree temperature rise, rendering much of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9-degree Celsius increase would bring the Earth close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.

What Can I Do? There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly and affect the world.

Consequences Smunch-sequences

Man: massive object
Man: massive destruction
Plight at the speed of light

[Verse 1]
How far do you think we are
From the nearest star
(Other than the sun,
Can we make the run?)

[Bridge]
Four slightly more
Light years…
But, I have my fears
So, before we sojourn
We’d better learn

[Chorus]
Consequences
Under those circumstances
As I get fatter…
Will my matter matter?

Quick!
[Break]
How fast can I last?

[Instrumental, Flute Solo]

[Verse 2]
Too far that we are
From the nearest star
(Other than the sun,
Can’t make that run)

[Bridge]
Light years…
Caught in the gears
Relative to relativity
I see, I see
(I see the light)

[Chorus]
Consequences
Under those circumstances
As I get fatter…
My matter will splatter

Quick!
[Break]
Slow down
(Down, down, down, down)

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
That far, we’ll mare
From star to the nearest star
(Other than the sun,
We’d come undone)

[Bridge]
Light years…
Caught in the gears
Relative to relativity
I see, I see
(I see the light)

[Chorus]
Consequences
Under those circumstances
As I get fatter…
My matter will splatter

Quick!
[Break]
Slow down
(Down, down, down, down)

A SCIENCE NOTE
What would the consequences of a human reaching the speed of light be?
The energy required to accelerate a massive object to the speed of light would likely have catastrophic effects on the surrounding environment, potentially causing massive destruction.

The closest star, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.2 to 4.4 light years away. Therefore, we do not recommend making a run there at the speed of light.

Sat on Saturn

 

If you were to somehow sit on Saturn…
What would you learn?

[Verse]
Lately, I’ve been spacing out (far out)
Thinking about spacing out (far out)
Sitting on Saturn, what would I learn?

[Bridge]
I’m just sayin’
Would you like to weigh in

[Instrumental, Synthesizer Solo, Drum Fills]

[Chorus]
Dying trying to sit on Saturn
Would I start to notice
Some sort-of pattern
Dying, trying to have sat (on Saturn)
[Break]
Will I ever learn?

[Vocal Rap]
If I were to somehow sit on Saturn…
What would I learn?

[Instrumental, Sub-bass, Bass Solo]

[Verse]
I fear
Descending through the thick atmosphere
Under pressure, for sure
Can’t measure the temperature
I mean soooo extreme

[Bridge]
Crushed (Hushed)
Incinerated
That hurts
And they don’t even offer me a seat
That’s beat

Dying trying to sit on Saturn
[Break]
Will I ever learn?

[Outro]
Sat, learned

[End]

A NOTE ON SCIENCE
What would happen to me if I sat on Saturn?

If you were to somehow sit on Saturn, you’d experience a rather surreal and potentially deadly environment. Saturn is a gas giant, so it doesn’t have a solid surface like Earth. Instead, it’s composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gas, with swirling bands of clouds and intense storms.

If you were able to descend through Saturn’s thick atmosphere, you’d encounter increasing pressure and temperatures as you descended deeper. Eventually, the pressure and temperature would become so extreme that any human or spacecraft would be crushed and incinerated long before reaching any hypothetical solid core (if one exists).

So, while Saturn’s mesmerizing appearance from afar might seem inviting, getting too close would be a perilous endeavor indeed.
