Boiling Frogs

We dismissed the warnings
Every time we could choose
We would decide to deny
Seemed we had nothing to lose

Just for daily convenience
Where there's no time to see
In addition to ignorance
Still not acceptable to me

(Deforestation rates reach 10 million hectares annually, contributing to climate crisis)
(Even without fossil fuels, we will exceed our 565 gigatonnes CO2e limit by 2030, all from raising animals)
(Oceans warming 40% faster than previously thought due to human activities)

Comfortable at the top
Of your own pyramid
Still hard to feel
Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die
Enjoy the brand new illness
While savoring another slice

In a gradual manner
With the passage of time
We grow used to the chaos
One more time, roll the dice

Contemplating a world dying
There's not much more to lose
Everything you ignored
Now right in front of you

(Torrential rains have caused one of Brazil’s worst floods in modern history in Brasil)
(For well over a decade, scientists have been warning policymakers that global warming would bring increased rains to this region)
(Virtually empty oceans by 2048)
(Human influence found in 75% of extreme weather events)

Comfortable at the top
Of your own pyramid
Still hard to feel
Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die
Enjoy the brand new illness
While savoring another slice

Watching vicariously
Too far away to see
Boiling frogs

Comfortable at the top
Of your own pyramid
Still hard to feel
Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die
Enjoy the brand new illness
While savoring another slice
