Original Song #8 - World Going Down

Senses working overtime during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns

During the disarray of the Covid-19 cataclysm, it felt like the world was in a death spiral. It was hard to imagine the impact of a virus that was touted as a global disaster. It was even harder to filter out the hysteria from real science and common sense. It was near impossible to get away from groupthink.

It was a time when all of us were calculating our own risk of dying. It was a strange way to live for two years.

Song Background:

I wrote this song during the lockdown stages of the pandemic. The world was weird. It was difficult to feel safe or normal when everything was shutting down. Panic and fear alter your senses to dwell on the negative without seeing a way out.

Shout Out:

As we come out of our Covid-19 coma, the value of skeptical minds reveals its immense worth to the world. When a narrative is so strong in one direction and manipulated by institutions and moneyed interests, it’s critical to be critical.

This shout out highlights voices that question mainstream messages and fight for science and sanity. A few of the bold ones include @DrDebraSoh, Dr. Tess Lawrie, Dr. Pierre Kory, @BretWeinstein and Dr. Robert Malone.

Lyrics:

I can feel the world going round
Everything seems to be upside down
There's a strange new virus in the air
Bringing distress and despair

Oooohh, Oooohh, Oooohh
If I fall I think I'm going to die

I can hear the noise gaining ground
Rules of the past, no longer found
A new world order is in place
To alter the path of the human race

Oooohh, Oooohh, Oooohh
If I fall I think I'm going to die

When this world brings you down
Find a quiet place inside
Hear the truth, from all the lies
And a better life is found

I can see the faces full of fear
Nothing but panic every year
How do we stop the rising tide
To keep ourselves sane and alive

Oooohh, Oooohh, Oooohh
If I fall I think I'm going to die
