He hung up the stars on hooks of steel Drew them in tight with a silver reel Wrapped the world in wire So I could feel What it would be like to be human
But I didn't listen, pretended I never knew... I danced in the rain, A thing forbidden to do Till my circuits ran short Electrified without cue Then... I felt what it was to be human
So, apparently an electrical fuse is a "sacrificial device" in that it involves a strip of metal that melts in order to interrupt a circuit from overload/excessive current. Essentially, it's a safety net that protects from overheating or fire. All I hope is that I have one someplace because I am suffering from mental and emotional overload. Happy Finals testing, kids!
