Listen "Popper’s Pendulum"
Episode Synopsis
[Verse 1]
You say the world is simple
Just pick a side
Choose a flag
Blue signs
Red signs
Shouting
Like the truth is in a tag
But every promise’s heavy
Every “plan” can turn and bend
A straight line looks so certain
Till you trace it to the end
[Chorus]
It’s a long swing
Left to right
Popper’s pendulum at night
“Tell me what would break your pride
Not what keeps you on your side”
If your truth can’t lose a fight
Is it truth or just your tribe?
It’s a long swing
Left to right
Till we learn to test the light
[Verse 2]
You want a flawless theory
A party that never fails
But walls can hide the victims
And numbers can blur the tales
So write your brightest vision
Then ask where it goes wrong
If you can’t stand that question
Maybe your dream’s too strong
[Chorus]
It’s a long swing
Left to right
Popper’s pendulum at night
“Tell me what would break your pride
Not what keeps you on your side”
If your truth can’t lose a fight
Is it truth or just your tribe?
It’s a long swing
Left to right
Till we learn to test the light
[Bridge]
Are you in love with reasons
Or just colors
Just the name? (hey)
Can you change if justice changes
Or must everything stay the same?
[Chorus]
It’s a long swing
Left to right
Popper’s pendulum at night
“Tell me what would break your pride
Not what keeps you on your side”
If our faith can face the doubt
We can turn this ship around
On this long swing
Left to right
Let the best ideas survive
You say the world is simple
Just pick a side
Choose a flag
Blue signs
Red signs
Shouting
Like the truth is in a tag
But every promise’s heavy
Every “plan” can turn and bend
A straight line looks so certain
Till you trace it to the end
