Where We Come From - Brendan Hughes

Where We Come From Lyrics

Have you ever noticed that you’re always an hour closer to midnight than you thought you were; and you alternate every three weeks between sluggishness and peppiness. Here is the culprit, the suprachiasmatic nuclei sits on top of the optic nerve, they use light cues to govern our circadian rhythms, when night falls they tell the brain to release melatonin through the pineal gland. This then makes us get drowsy, and our body temperature falls, and we report to flat surface and fall unconscious for one third of every single day, which is a total ripoff. My driver’s license says 36 but my maturity level suggests 24.
What’s interesting about this however is scientists have discovered that if you take humans and put them in a room for like three weeks with no clocks, no windows and no media of any kind, we eventually default to a 25 hour a day schedule. We think there are 25 hours in a day it is hardwired into our brain. Meanwhile we wander around on this planet which is twenty four thousand eight hundred and sixty miles all the way around - and despite this insane circumference it only takes 24 hours to do one entire spin. But here’s the interesting thing the 24 hours which is eighty-six thousand two hundred and forty seconds, oh I did it, whoo!, that was the big hurdle for the show, now I can let fly down...hair down! Oh no, I lost my place, fuck, I got so excited about 86,240 seconds - it takes that long to go around, to spin all the the way around, but that number is because of something called tidal acceleration; the moon is fucking with our shit. Don’t tell Bill O'reilly this -the moon spins around the earth and it tugs on the ocean water, the Earth revolves and sends that energy back towards the moon like a slingshot and the result is that the moon is gradually getting faster and the Earth is gradually spinning slower, to the tune of two milliseconds a year are added to the 24-hour revolve. Which means that, if you do the math on that, in dinosaur times there were 23 hours a day, because the Earth is spinning slower and slower. So I think you probably know where I’m going with this, if we have in our brains we think there are 25 hours a day and currently on this planet it takes the Earth to spin 24 hours and in dinosaur times there are 23 hours - we come from the future.
It’s based on scientific facts, and obvo the next question is were we here when we sent ourselves back or are we taping over something. And are there clues around the planet that present themselves as vestiges of a time we’re happening instead of - the answer is yes. The Voynich Manuscript, found in the 15th century in northern Italy, is an indecipherable catalog of plants that don’t exist. The Antikythera mechanism found in shipwreck off Greece in a hundred B.C. containing mechanisms and gears that wouldn’t appear in this dimension for another thousand years, basically a two-thousand year old computer. The Baghdad batteries, these are actual batteries that date to 200 B.C. when they were used for arc welding and electroplating - which I did not click on, but sounds far too sophisticated for that time period. And finally the giant stone balls of Costa Rica, there are giant stone balls in Costa Rica, and no one knows why. So my friends, write down the date, because you just found out where we come from; we come - from the future.
