Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis does not involve a camera
Or a synthesizer
Although that's interesting too
Photosynthesis is how plants take in light
It's actually a thing on which most life depends
Here on the planet Earth
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
With plants
Chlorophyll cells take in carbon dioxide
Now that's the air that we breathe out
Combines it with water and exposes it to sunlight
And that's how plants can make their own food
Photosynthesis is why plants need light
And photosynthesis is why humans need plants
Because through photosynthesis plants make oxygen
And humans need oxygen to breathe

B.SLADE's song "Photosynthesis" is a celebration of the scientific process that plants undertake to survive and produce oxygen for humans. The first few lines suggest that photosynthesis involves neither a camera nor a synthesizer, perhaps a playful reference to the fact that the word "photosynthesis" has "photo" in it, which means light, and "synthesis," which suggests the creation of something new. The song goes on to clarify that photosynthesis is how plants take in the energy they need to survive and produce oxygen.
The second verse focuses more specifically on the process of photosynthesis, describing how chlorophyll cells take in carbon dioxide and combine it with water in the presence of sunlight to create food for the plant. This process is critical not just for the survival of plants, but for humans as well, because it produces the oxygen that we need to breathe. The song repeats the word "photosynthesis" like a chant, underscoring the importance of this scientific process to life on Earth.
Overall, "Photosynthesis" is a tribute to the wonders of science and the beauty of the natural world. It reminds us that the things we take for granted, like the air we breathe, are the result of incredibly complex processes that happen all around us every day.

GODIVOR
I took a hit for the team
Took a bullet for the dream
That we would one day all be free
Free from prejudice, free from sexism, free from bigotry
I died for creativity
I died for freedom to be free
I died and left a legacy
Oh, but baby, I'll still live through technology
{Chorus:}
After the sun
Then comes the rain
And after the storm
The sun will start shining again
Plant seeds of faith
And add tears of pain
If that's your struggle, just be patient
Your destiny will manifest
Yes, photosynthesis
I know it hurts you deep inside
But please don't let nobody tell you not to cry
Your tears are salty by design
To give your soul its proper enzymes
So if you fight the urge to cry
Then your love must have been a lie
No need to explain how or why
'Cause I'm still living inside of you
Through technology
{Chorus}
After the sun
Then comes the rain
And after the storm
The sun will start shining again
Plant seeds of faith
And add tears of pain
If that's your struggle, just be patient
Your destiny will manifest
Yes, photosynthesis
Learn through technology
It won't cost you one cent
You can fly high without a decent
Love never dies
Just choose to be born again
{Chorus}
After the sun
Then comes the rain
And after the storm
The sun will start shining again
Plant seeds of faith
And add tears of pain
If that's your struggle, just be patient
Your destiny will manifest
Yes, photosynthesis
