And disappear

Watch the water twist and whirl
Drop in low and find the line
Match the wave and synchronize

[Pre-Chorus]
Inside

Ride
(The peril)

[Chorus]
Getting barreled

Pitted

Ought to be slotted

[Verse 2]
Hollow water overhead
Blue-green walls around your head
The opening narrows as you fly
A fleeting window to the sky

Compressed air begins to blow
Through the opening as you go
Then comes the spit across the face
The ocean throws you from the place

[Bridge]
Tube riding
(Inside the wave)
Timing
(Is what you crave)

Balance
(Against the wall)
One wrong move
(And down you fall)

Getting barreled

Feeling whorled

About the Song
Barrel / Tube: The hollow space formed inside a hollow rolling wave.

A surfer must precisely match the speed of the wave to stay underneath the breaking lip without getting caught in the falling water or outrunning the curl.

When a surfer rides inside the tube it is called tube riding or getting barreled. Surfers also use slang terms like getting pitted, shacked, or slotted to describe this exact maneuver.

Key Terms Inside the Tube
The Tube / Barrel: The hollow space formed when the crest of the wave curls completely over the face.
The Foam Ball: The turbulent explosion of white water inside the barrel behind the surfer.
The Spit: The blast of compressed air and water vapor that blows out of the barrel opening as it closes.

Bounced back on my feet
(Still alive and complete)

Spun around
(Warmed-over)
But far from defeat
(Back on my feet)

[Verse 1]
Thrown into a changing tide
Lost the balance, lost the ride
Moments came that shook the frame
Nothing stayed exactly the same

Dust it off and find the ground
Listen for that rising sound
One more step, one more try
Looking forward, aiming high

[Pre-Chorus]
Fall apart
(Then rebuild)
Find the strength

Life can spin a little fast
Future changing from the past
What seemed like an ending scene
Can become a place between

Adaptation, change, and motion
Like a wave upon the ocean
Balance shifts and systems bend
New beginnings start again

Turn around

The strongest sound

When you rise

[Verse 1]
Built a world with endless needs
Growing faster, planting seeds
Taking more than we replace
Leaving footprints on this place

A role was given, a path was shown
A planet shared, a place called home
But progress without reflection
Can create a different direction

Changing systems
(Changing times)

(Starts with you)

You’ve a voice
(You have a choice)
Make it right…

See the light.

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Piano, Organ Fade]
A voice…

A choice…

A moment…

To decide.

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Fast Surf Guitar, Punchy Bass, Organ Stabs, Driving Drums]
[Spoken Vocal]
Ready?

Here it comes…

Another one!
(Better run!)

[Refrain]
Whack! (A mole) E!
Not (Exactly)
Close enough
(To call the bluff)

Head in the hole
(Or… Whack!)
The goal
(Whacked!)

[Verse 1]
One pops up, another drops
Thinking somehow the problem stops
Plug one leak, ignore the next
Life becomes another test

[Chorus]
Whack-a-mole!
(Here we go!)
Round and round
(The same old show)

Treat the symptom
(Not the cause)
Playing by
(The old applause)

Swing again
(Miss the point)
Time to fix
(The broken joint)

[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Whack! (A mole) E!
Not (Exactly)
Close enough
(To call the bluff)

Head in the hole
(Or… Whack!)
The goal
(Whacked!)
[Wild Guitar Solo]

[Driving Bass, Organ Swells, Heavy Drums, Playful Synth]

[Verse 2]
Build a wall against the tide
Another river changes sides
Fight one fire, another starts
Playing games with loaded cards

[Bridge]
… understanding
The whole disaster
(The need… comin’ on faster)

Cause and effect
(Link as one)
That’s the race
(To be won)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Bass, Spoken Vocal]
You can…

Keep swinging…

Or, I mean…

Fix the machine…

Making…

The moles appear.
(Here)

[Final Chorus]
Whack! (A mole) E!
Not (Exactly)
Close enough
(To call the bluff)

Head in the hole
(Or… Whack!)
The goal
(Whacked!)

See the pattern
(That’s the key)
Solve the cause
(Set it free)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Organ Hits, Surf Guitar, Crowd Shouts, Drum Finale]
Whack!

Whack!

Whack…

…or maybe…

Stop feeding the moles.

bookmark_borderCrisis? What Crisis?

[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Clean Guitar, Deep Bass, Organ Swells, Steady Drums]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
What’s normal…

Depends…

On where you’re standing.
(… on understanding)

[Refrain]
Crisis?
(What crisis?)
Exactly
(Reality)

You’re soaking in it
(Our habitat habit)

[Verse 1]
The weather fills another page
Another flood, another stage
Smoke rolls in across the sky
Still we simply wonder why

One more record, one more heat
Water flowing through the street
After seeing it so long
It starts to feel like we belong

[Pre-Chorus]
Slowly changed
(Before our eyes)
Growing used
(To new surprise)

[Chorus]
Crisis?
(What crisis?)
Life goes on
(Another dawn)

Changing baselines
(Quietly)
Becoming part
(Of memory)

One more headline
(Passes by)
Until another
(Catches the eye)

[Refrain]
Crisis?
(What crisis?)
Exactly
(Reality)

You’re soaking in it
(Our habitat habit)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ, Atmospheric Synth, Powerful Drums]

[Verse 2]
Habit has a subtle way
Of reshaping yesterday
What once seemed beyond belief
Gradually becomes routine

Comfort lives inside the known
Even when the world’s outgrown
Yesterday’s extreme event
Becomes tomorrow’s precedent

[Bridge]
The greatest change
May not be heat

It may be what
We still repeat

Seeing less
(Of what’s begun)
Until the changes
Blend as one

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
The climate…

Doesn’t ask…

Whether we’ve adapted.

It simply…

Keeps changing.
(… what we’re rearranging…)

[Final Chorus]
Crisis?
(What crisis?)
Exactly
(Reality)

You’re soaking in it
(Our habitat habit)

Open your eyes
(Look around)
Changing ground
(Beneath the ground)

Crisis?
(Not someday)
It’s unfolding
(Day by day)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Piano, Organ Fade]
What crisis…

The one…

We’ve been living through…
(Me and you)

All along.
(Sing the song)

[Refrain]
Crisis?
(What crisis?)
Exactly
(Reality)

You’re soaking in it
(Our habitat habit)

About the Song

Couldn’t help but think of Supertramp’s “Crisis? What Crisis?” album cover:
Maximilien Lamy’s powerful photograph capturing a couple relaxing on a beach against a backdrop of apocalyptic wildfire smoke has quickly become a defining global image of the climate crisis. Taken on July 24, 2026, at Moutchic beach near Lacanau in southwestern France, the photo perfectly encapsulates the jarring contrast of modern climate apathy. It features prominently on the front pages of major global newspapers, including The Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Driving Bass, Organ Pads, Guitar Delay, Steady Drum Groove]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
The center…

Keeps shifting.
(Drifting)

What once seemed ordinary…

Feels unfamiliar.

(How about where you are?)

[Refrain]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)

…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)

[Verse 1]
Yesterday’s unusual
Becomes today’s familiar call
Records fall without a sound
Soon another comes around
What once made the evening news
Now becomes expected views

[Pre-Chorus]
Moving lines
(Changing scale)
New extremes
(Leave a trail)

[Chorus]
Where’s the middle?
(Hard to say)
Keeps on moving
(Day by day)

Normal shifts
(Out of sight)
Slow enough
(To seem right)

[Refrain]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)

…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Heavy Bass Groove, Organ Swells, Synth Textures, Driving Drums]

[Verse 2]
Floods arrive with greater force
Storms adjust another course
Piece by piece the baseline bends
Quietly the pattern trends
Not because the Earth stood still
But because it climbed the hill

[Bridge]
The middle moves
Without a sound
Until new limits
Can be found

One more year
(A little more)
Is the end clearer
(Than before)

[Breakdown]
[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
The danger…

Isn’t only…

The extremes.

It’s forgetting…

What the mean…

Means.

[Final Chorus]
In the middle
Isn’t normal
(Any more?)

…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)

…for sure…
Gone extreme
(Know what I mean?)

In the middle…
(Or so it seems…)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Piano, Echo Guitar, Organ Fade]
Where’s the middle?

Still moving…

Still changing…

Out of sight.

(Out of the light)
