[Intro]

It’s a fact
(The angle of impact)
The force
(Can change course)
Of your train of thought
(Reign wrought)
Brain rot

[Verse 1]

Coming straight on for you
(Steeper and deeper)
Not a lot you can do
(My angle’s askew)

[Chorus]

It’s a fact
(The angle of impact)
The force
(Will change the course)

[Bridge]

Of your train of thought
(Reign wrought)
Rain brought
(Destiny upon me)

[Verse 2]

Kinetic energy
(Mass and velocity)

(Intensity)

[Chorus]

It’s a fact
(The angle of impact)
The force
(Will change the course)

[Bridge]

Of your train of thought
(Reign wrought)
Rain brought
(Reign wrought)
Brain rot
(Destiny down on me)

[Outro]

It’s a matter of fact
(The angle of impact)
The damaging force
(Changed our course)

A SCIENCE NOTE: The Reign of Violent Rain

Physics of the angle of impact from precipitation (like rain or hail):

  • Steeper angles (close to 90°, falling almost straight down):

    • Higher force per unit area because gravity acts almost directly downward.

    • Droplets or hailstones hit surfaces harder.

    • Leads to more damage, like erosion of soil, denting of cars, breaking leaves, and even bruising fruits and crops.

    • Shallow angles (smaller than 90°, more sideways rain):

      • Spread out over more area.

      • Less direct force per point — but wider impact.

      • Can cause sideways rain damage to walls, windows, and exposed structures that normally don’t get direct rainfall.

        Force and damage from precipitation depends on:

        1. Mass of the droplet or hailstone (bigger = more force).

        2. Velocity (speed falling — increases with height and wind help).

        3. Angle of impact (straighter = harder hit; sideways = spread hit).

        4. Surface (hard vs soft material receiving the impact).

          In physics terms, the momentum and kinetic energy of a raindrop or hailstone are key:

          • Kinetic Energy (KE) = ½ * mass * velocity²

          • The angle affects how much of that energy is transferred directly vs spread sideways.

            Now: Does climate change play a role?

            YES — and a big one. Climate change increases both intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation events:

            • Warmer air holds more water vapor (about 7% more per 1°C rise).

            • Stronger storms (like supercell thunderstorms, hurricanes) form more often.

            • More intense rainfall → faster, heavier, and larger raindrops and hailstones.

            • Higher wind speeds during storms → causes sharper, more damaging impact angles (not just vertical — but violent, sideways rain and hail).

              Result:

              • More erosion (even from “regular” storms).

              • More flooding from heavy rainbursts.

              • More structural damage — roofs, windows, crops, soil, buildings.

              • More inland damage from hurricanes and tropical storms that carry powerful rain farther than they used to.

                In short:

                • The physics of impact angles explains how rain and hail cause damage.

                • Climate change makes the rain and hail bigger, faster, and sometimes hit at worse angles, massively boosting damage.
