The &#8220;mistress abyss&#8221; could symbolize the forces of climate change\u2014seductive yet deadly\u2014waiting to consume those who ignore or deny it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> The lines about being &#8220;swallowed alive&#8221; suggest how climate change, if not addressed, will overwhelm societies, leaving no room for survival unless immediate action is taken. It portrays the Earth\u2019s ecosystems as having a powerful role, one that humanity might eventually serve by becoming victims of its own neglect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verse &amp; Outro:<\/strong> The illusion of success mirrors the false sense of security created by short-term gains or temporary fixes in response to climate change. The &#8220;confusion&#8221; highlights the dissonance between scientific realities and societal inaction, emphasizing how the increasing impacts of global warming can feel elusive or deceptive, but are nonetheless real and dangerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In summary, the song metaphorically warns of the slippery slope we are on due to climate change, where small missteps lead to catastrophic consequences, much like falling into an abyss.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/too-much\/\">Too Much<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/multimedia\/V\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slipperiness-0.mp3 Slipperiness-0.mp4 Slipperiness-I.mp3 Slipperiness-I.mp4 Slipperiness-prelude-Dm_sus4.mp3 [Intro] Hoping to miss (iss iss) The slipperiness (ness ness) Of the abyss&#8217; (is is is) Lips (ssss) [Bridge] Beware of the kiss Of the mistress abyss (Slipperiness) [Chorus] She&#8217;ll swallow you alive (She&#8217;ll eat you whole) There&#8217;s no chance to survive (You&#8217;ll serve Her role) [Bridge] Become aware of [&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":[9,14,3955,24],"tags":[163,546,563,4026],"class_list":["post-37639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-megaepix-enormous","category-the-beatless-sense-mongers","tag-climate-change","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos","tag-too-much"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37639","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=37639"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37648,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37639\/revisions\/37648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
