Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

— Sting Synchronicity (1983)

Jung believed there was a large pattern to life, that it wasn't just chaos. Our song Synchronicity II is about two parallel events that aren't connected logically or causally, but symbolically.

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?

I am the first male in the family not having had to shoot against another European

A star fall, a phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity
Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity....

Synchronicity (1983)

Democracy is under attack. It's under attack in every country in the world. It's in grave danger of being lost unless we defend it.
