LYRICS
All in all
Been a ball
Missed the call
Watch the fall
No matter how tall
They stand above
Can’t help but tell
In need of love
No matter how big
The stately pig
Know just as well
Push comes to shove
So in need of love

All in all
Been a ball
Missed the call
Watch the fall
Why not watch the plot
Go from “have” to “have not”
When you check the facts
About the climax
No matter how big
The stately pig
The Fat Lady’s swan song sung
Oh so done

This is a song about “Climate Change: The End of Times“. Do you feel privileged to be alive for The End? Did you think it would be this exciting?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Aware of your pollution there
Stare into thin air
No, no solution there
Up in arms
Didn’t hear the alarms
Little too late
To go irate

Aware how this life is rare
Share that you don’t care
No, no solution there
Up in arms
Didn’t sound the alarms
Little too late
To go irate

Aware of the damage done
No care for anyone
No, no solution won
Up in arms
Didn’t heed the alarms
Little too late
To go irate

This song is about people being aware of their impact on the climate, yet continuing to pollute.

“The increasing heating of our planet caused by fossil fuel use is not unexpected, it was predicted already in the 19th century after all,” said climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research in Germany. “But it is dangerous for us humans and for the ecosystems we depend on. We need to stop it fast.”

This is our current situation. Not “years away”. Not tomorrow. Today.

Stop burning fossil fuels today, stop consuming hydrocarbons today, or else….

In July of 2023, the study Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation was published in the journal Nature Communications. “Here we provide statistical significance and data-driven estimators for the time of tipping. We estimate a collapse of the AMOC to occur around mid-century (2050) under the current scenario of future emissions.”

Sidd added, “That’s only one paper, and the window is 2025-2095. I suspect there are many surprises in wait for us.”

LYRICS
The amount of water dropping
Is really quite shocking
Looks like there’s no stopping
Build more docking
Deluge attitude
Muddy n’ rude
Raindrops dropping
Ain’t no stopping
Build more decking
Should have built taller stilts
Less drowning
Should have climbed higher still
Less frowning

The amount of rainfall falling
Shows human acts appalling
Looks like there’s no stalling
Karma’s calling

Should have built taller stilts
Less drowning
Should have climbed higher still
Less frowning

From The Momentum of Rain (A Hard Rain Is Falling), “Climate change can affect the intensity and frequency of precipitation. Warmer oceans increase the amount of water that evaporates into the air. When more moisture-laden air moves over land or converges into a storm system, it can produce more intense precipitation — for example, heavier rain and snow storms.”

Legitimacy is biting
Finding tumbling walls fall
Wrecking ball

LYRICS
Hear the tick tock
Of the alarm clock
Before it goes off
In the morning
Forewarning

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

Better think something up
about our cup
It’s not half-full
… on empty
Can you see

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

So it’s said
We made our bed
6 feet under the daisies
All we dread
We bred their head
Who created the crazies?

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

Is this not how you thought
Things ought to be
When you said you wanted things for free?

But, when these things are yours
Opens different doors

Into might
Slight-of-hand

This is a song about Man’s worst enemy — Man. In July of 2023 we wrote the paper, Climate Change: End of Times.

I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under.

Fresh air, water, food, and light will also be problematic; however, your most severe concern will likely be security. Those with supplies will be at high risk of being raped and looted. Good luck!

LYRICS
Search for the words
Put down the swords
The sounds of birds
Enchanting
It won’t be long
Till their songs are gone

To right our wrong
De-Man-ding
The thorns of the thistle
Set scorn with a bristle
Grasp the wasp’s stinger
To feel poison linger
The snake mistake
Men take in their own venom
Should have seen it comin’
These stories I can not make
As we watch Man overtake
Epic fail
Overtakes his own tail
Epic fail
Swallowing his own tale

This is a song about Man’s worst enemy — Man. In July of 2023 we wrote the paper, Climate Change: End of Times.

All of my life I have located my office and bedrooms in the uppermost southern exposure (preferably in the tree canopy.) I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under. For those forward thinkers, think about your poop. Pumping sewage above ground level will be a major problem at all times. In addition, the inability to pump flood water will become deadly during extreme weather events. In July of 2020 NPR reported, “The remnants of Hurricane Ida dropped unprecedented rainfall on several eastern states, killing dozens of people. Eleven of them were Queens residents who died when their basement apartments flooded.” In August of 2022 CNN reported, “Seoul has vowed to move some of the city’s poorest families out of underground and semi-subterranean homes after 13 people were killed in flooding caused by record rainfall this week, sparking public horror and calls for government accountability.” Drowning in your own poop may result for those unprepared.

Fresh air, water, food, and light will also be problematic; however, your most severe concern will likely be security. Those with supplies will be at high risk of being raped and looted. Good luck!

LYRICS
Limited knowledge
Never went to college
Doesn’t know true
I tried to tell you

Watching the sunset come into view
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

Took vacation
Missed education
Dimwitted, too
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

Out to lunch
Drank too much punch
Never comes through
(Human race, you’re drunk.
Can’t think, thank, nor thunk)
I tried to tell you
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

DR0000_0167-Watching-the-Sunset.mp3

A song about people taking pictures of the sunset through the smoke of the Canadian wildfires. “Smoke particles also scatter light, and because they are larger than air molecules, they also scatter the orange and red colors. That results in far more red and orange in the sky than we are used to seeing during the daytime, imparting a surreal hue,” as reported in the New York Times. Is it ironic that people take pictures of pollution and comment on how beautiful it is?

LYRICS
Where are we going
With no one knowing
It must be some sort-of gag
Blindfolded and bagged
Shortcomings showing

We were to embark
Now just a thud in the dark

Where are we going
With no one knowing
“It must be some sort-of joke?”
The Grim Reaper spoke
Shortcomings growing

We were to set sail
Instead flail and bail

Where are we going
With no one knowing
It must be some sort-of hoax
When the truth cannot coax
Shortcomings flowing

We were to ride high
But chose to subside

Train of thought
Get ‘er running
Hey, why not
Make it stunning?
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End

Jumped the tracks
With their facts
Runaway train
Of harebrained
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

Off the rails
Rides collide
Tattered sails
Crew divides
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

All our trains of thought
Have come to their final stop
The last station on the line
Damnation of our time
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End

LYRICS
Out the southern exposure
A clear sky is on the make
While northern low pressure
Gives fear as it overtakes
In the middle
Of in between
Twist and meddle
A peaceful scene
Birds take flight toward the light
As men learn to fly… or die
My, oh, my
Do or die?
Touch the sky
Or kneel and cry?

In the middle
Of in between
Twist and meddle
A peaceful scene
Birds take flight toward the light
As men learn to fly… or die
When pigs grow wings
… and other things
(I’m flyyying)
