Avalanche Logic (Slippery Slope)

The slippery slope fallacy assumes that permitting a small event will unavoidably result in a chain of increasingly extreme outcomes, although no logical link or evidence is provided. An example is saying, “If we lower the voting age, children will soon demand the right to vote.” ‘Avalanche Logic (Slippery Slope)’ mirrors this anxious progression through building dynamics and lyrics that conjure images of minor doubts turning into catastrophe, reflecting how this fallacy uses fear instead of facts to resist change or debate.

Lyrics

      
One pebble loosed from trembling earth
Minor doubts spiraling into birth
Questions perched on the ledge above
Cascade through warnings, push and shove
Every echo grows, the shadows stretch
Unraveled certainty—the final catch
“We fall, we fall—unstoppable in flow
Each step beckons deeper below”
A trembling word, a stifled breath
Wild predictions stalk the edge of death
Reason slips as fictions leap
No time for pauses, no promise to keep
“Stand firm—see the edge for what it is.
Not every stone will start the avalanche.”
