Borborygmi

A primal body song that turns stomach noise into biology, rhythm, hunger, and proof of being alive.

Lyrics

Borborygmi

By Smartass Amoeba

Cave-dark belly
Fire in the ribs
Wind in the tunnel
Something lives

Coil and churn
Twist and grind
Ancient engine
Deep inside

Air and acid
Bone and flame
Call my name

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
Beat the drum in me

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
Wild and hungry

Rattle the cage
Shake the tree
Borborygmi
Set it free

Stomach thunder
River roll
Stone-age rhythm
Body soul

No shame
No plea
Just the sound
Of being

Muscle ripple
Shadow cry
Amplify

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
Beat the drum in me

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
Wild and hungry

Rattle the cage
Shake the tree
Borborygmi
Set it free

Gut
Pulse
Growl
Hunt

Gut
Pulse
Growl
Run

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
Born in biology

Borborygmi
Borborygmi
You are me

Alive

AI Summary

The song celebrates the body's involuntary music. Borborygmi, normally embarrassing stomach sounds, become drums, engines, rivers, and ancient signals of hunger and life. The meaning is bodily acceptance. Instead of shame, the narrator hears biology as rhythm and identity. The cave, fire, acid, and hunt imagery connect modern digestion to primitive survival, reminding the listener that being alive is noisy, physical, and not fully civilized. The final word, "Alive," reframes the growl as proof rather than problem.
