Chains in the Air (False Cause)

The false cause fallacy happens when it’s incorrectly assumed that one event causes another merely because they occur close in time or association. Examples include the post hoc fallacy (“After event X, event Y happened, so X caused Y”) and assuming correlation implies causation. This fallacy can lead to superstitions or faulty reasoning. ‘Chains in the Air (False Cause)’ captures this with vibrant, shifting music and lyrics highlighting the tangled, mistaken links people create when correlating events without adequate evidence.

Lyrics

      
Signals cross in tangled wires
Stories spark unearned fires
One thing leads — another follows
But not all links are what they swallow
“A shadow moves when thunder calls
Yet their dance means nothing at all”
Days align but plans are spun
Random fates mistaken as one
Inventing threads in the drifting mist
Cause and effect set adrift
Separate paths that intertwine
Truth unraveled, undefined
Let the air clear what chains can’t hold
False causes dying, stories retold
