In the verses, the denier is depicted as someone who refuses to acknowledge the escalating environmental crisis, choosing instead to ignore the &#8220;flames&#8221; of climate change as they intensify. Despite a &#8220;listening deficit&#8221; and an inability to grasp the severity of the situation, the denier persists in denying the scientific facts, clinging to their own abstract beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>The imagery of having &#8220;his head in the sand&#8221; symbolizes the denier&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h2>From the album &#8220;Fingers in My Ears&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/Listening-Deficit.html\">Listening Deficit<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denial-II.mp3 Denial-II.mp4 Denial.mp3 Denial.mp4 [Verse] He&#8217;s a climate change denier Can&#8217;t see the flames get higher With his listening deficit Ignorance won&#8217;t let him get it Keeps on denying the facts Living in his own abstract Thinking he&#8217;s got it all figured out But he&#8217;s just spreading doubt [Verse 2] He&#8217;s got his head in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9,12,14,3955],"tags":[163,3961,546,563],"class_list":["post-33954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-daniel","category-listening-deficit","category-lyrics","category-megaepix-enormous","tag-climate-change","tag-fingers-in-my-ears","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33954"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33962,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33954\/revisions\/33962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
