Shifting Tongues (Equivocation)

The equivocation fallacy occurs when a key term is used ambiguously, switching meanings within an argument to falsely support a conclusion. For instance, conflating “bark” as tree covering and dog sound leads to a false claim: “Dogs are trees because they bark.” This fallacy exploits language vagueness to mislead. ‘Shifting Tongues (Equivocation)’ conveys this through heavy, twisting musical themes and lyrics about double edges and hidden meanings, illustrating how shifting language hides real logic.

Lyrics

      
Silver words in serpent coils
Meanings blur in clever oils
Truth disguised in mirrored takes
Promises bend as language breaks
Double edges cut the line
Intentions lost, subtle sign
Ambiguous in every sound
Questions rise, answers drowned
Speak in shadows, hide the way
Clarity led so far astray
Masks of reason, shifting form
Definitions weather every storm
Silent changes shape the tale
Certainty is doomed to fail
Twisted speech!
Split the dark!
Shadows breed where meanings mark!
Ambiguous in every sound
Questions rise, answers drowned
Speak in shadows, hide the way
Clarity led so far astray
One tongue for every turn of phrase
Lost within the logic maze
