about

Science is one of my passions (I teach Earth Science), and music is another, so it seemed only appropriate that I combine the two & write this song. We are all scientists in one way or another.

lyrics

All my life I’ve been a scientist
At least in the simplest sense of the word
I spend my days conducting experiments
trying to make sense of this world

As a babe I started with Geology
Crawling around & feeling the Earth
To this day it’s still one of my favorites
But so many forget its worth

Then one day I discovered biology
Found all of the parts & wondered their roles
I became quite fixated on physiology
& it gave me some new goals

So I met a boy who taught me 'bout chemistry
He started a spark & I burst into flames
Turned out only I was combustible
He just didn’t burn the same

I started digging up old feelings of rejection
An emotional archaeologist who just couldn’t let go
I found some bones in everyone else's closets
& they told me there’s room to grow

So I did a stint in modern psychology
Took all of my friends & I put them on shelves
Wasted time practicing psychoanalysis
When I should’ve been looking, I should've been looking at myself

I had climbed to the top of my ego
Certain that I was going to soar
But physics never fails to take the wind right from your sails
And bring you plummeting to the floor

Now I try to be much more logical
I don’t mess with the fallacies, I focus on truth
I like to nullify all the old hypotheses
That I made in my ignorant youth

All my life I’ve been a scientist
At least in the simplest sense of the word
I spend my days conducting experiments
& trying to make sense of this crazy world

All my life I’ve been a scientist
At least in the simplest sense of the word
I spend my days conducting experiments
& trying to make sense of this world
