Track Insight / Lyrics
Morning climb up creosote poles
Boots grip tarred wood, cable unspools
Pinus sylvestris stands the line
Resin dots my gloves, a sticky sign
Root hairs drink where current leaks below
Mycorrhizal nets conduct the glow
Electrolytes feed the cambium ring
Voltage wakes the sugars, makes them sing
Copper roots bind earth to sky
Pine sap conducts the line
We meet where insulation frays
Current feeds the pine's design
Afternoon sag on the primary phase
Heat expands the aluminum braid
Abies balsamea bends in wind shear
Balsam fir releases perfume air
Copper roots bind earth to sky
Pine sap conducts the line
We meet where insulation frays
Current feeds the pine's design
Lineman's pliers clip the deadwood clean
Botanist logs the girth, the growth between
No translation needed for this trade
Green wood carries current the lines have made
Dusk settles on the transformers' hum
Stomata close as daylight succumbs
Pseudotsuga drinks the twilight blue
Douglas fir roots map the grid work through
Night patrol with infrared scope
Hot spots bloom where resistance elopes
Pinus contorta twists around the ground
Lodgepole pine makes a circuit sound
Copper roots bind earth to sky
Pine sap conducts the line
We meet where insulation frays
Current feeds the pine's design
Copper roots bind earth to sky
Pine sap conducts the line
We meet where insulation frays
Current feeds the pine's design
Copper roots drink deep, the grid alive
Pine and wire thrive where they survive
