about

I wrote this track while strongly influenced by my Human Impacts on Marine Ecosystems course and Radiohead's album In Rainbows. The title of this track was inspired by the following description of an astrological aspect:

Neptune void in Aquarius

Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.

lyrics

Storm is coming
Wind is blowing
Thunder
Growling

There are rivers in the air
With too much to bear
Toxic tear-dropped
Cyclops

Storm is coming
Populations fleeing for new
Motherlands

Don’t act like you didn’t see it coming
Don’t act like you didn’t have it coming to ya’
Too late to take to high ground
It’s going under

Massive mountains of vapor
Electrocute
You’ll be saved two-by-two
If God goes by the book

The seas shall rise up in protest
Just swim and breathe your defense
Your species stinks of dead fish
And just remember:

You did this

Don’t act like you didn’t see it comin’
Don’t act like you didn’t have it comin’ to ya’
Too late to take to high ground
It’s growing under
