Helga Norse is a dynamic singer and model hailing from Oslo, Norway, now embracing life as a digital nomad while journeying east to west and north to south.
This song is an angry industrial metal track inspired by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The largest of the five offshore plastic accumulation zones in the world’s oceans is estimated to be twice the size of Texas.
In the heart of the ocean, casts a shadow bleak
Floating plastic remnants, hear the planet's shriek
Once a paradise, now an island of trash
A swirling vortex where the waves crash
[Chorus]
Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a wound in our blue
Twice Texas can run along this plastic view
A toxic blend of dreams, now shattered and dashed
A monstrous ocean toll, this island of trash
[Verse 2]
Gyres spin like endless wheels, churning decades lost
A sea of silent screams, surfacing a heavy cost
Larger objects loom, yet micro tears invade
Release their plastic poison, leaving hope to fade
[Chorus]
Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a wound in our blue
Twice Texas can run along this plastic view
A toxic blend of dreams, now shattered and dashed
A monstrous ocean toll, this island of trash
[Bridge]
Weighs a hundred million kilograms, floating in the tide
Eighteen trillion pieces, nowhere left to hide
Ocean tears are falling, swallowed by the churn
Futures drowning in the trash, as humanity must learn
[Verse 3]
Now is the time; scream against the wave
Hold back the flood, and learn how to save
Before the ocean's whisper turns to cries
We must reclaim the waters, under the scarred skies
[Final Chorus]
Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a wound in our blue
Twice Texas can run along this plastic view
A toxic blend of dreams, now shattered and dashed
A monstrous ocean toll, this island of trash
