Heated Conversations
Coimbatore, India

Verse 1
Think I need two more ACs ‘cause they said they banned CFCs
But the ozone layer’s still depleting
Verse 2
Sweat stains keep on showing, and the odour, no deodorant masks it
Climate change is really happening
Pre-chorus
I’m not infatuated, care ‘bout the situation
Cause we don’t need damnation right now
The temperature is rising by probably three degrees
So, I can flunk my exams now
Press the pause button
Chorus
Polar bears are swimming in melted ice
Build another power plant, it won’t suffice
Penguins trying lose the blubber, lose some weight before for the summer
Don’t see a future, that’s a bummer
Conversation’s kind of getting heated now
Verse 3
Started eating less meat because it’s water that we need
But I guess I compensate that in my showers
Verse 4
Exhaust from the factories, but we want electricity,
Maybe we’re blind to renewable energy
Pre-chorus
Climate change is outdated, and the causes overrated,
Can we get solutions trending right now?
Barcelona’s super-blocking and some are carbon neutralizing
But why does it feel like there’s no way out
Press the pause button
Chorus
Get some credit, pay the price in the present
Don’t procrastinate and then finally relent
Get sunscreen but not the plastic, farmers are becoming frantic,
If nothing’s done then I can’t sell my antique pieces
Conversations are getting heated now
The Earth is kind of getting heated now
Reflection
My song incorporates a heavy melody with lighthearted lyrics, sort of representing the seriousness of climate change. I want listeners to connect with and understand the impacts on the future and the drastic changes we are already experiencing in the present. I hope that it creates awareness and motivates listeners to do research of their own and help combat the rising effects of global warming.
