| The Smile – The Smoke Lyrics | 2 years ago |

My interpretation: We humans always desire a second chance, especially when we have done wrong. Globalization ties us all together, through capitalist consumerism and mass media. This is from the perspective of one person, one like the millions of us that knows we should stop driving our cars or buying the next iPhone but we can’t because everything is low hanging fruit. The long term effects of this global lifestyle is climate change and the smoke is everywhere across the globe and you cannot avoid it, it’s on the TV, internet, and literally the hills are on fire across the globe. The smoke is so bad it wakes you from your sleep. This person like many feels we shouldn’t have to face the consequences, with all our power we should just give ourselves what we want and make all the problems go away. It’s easy, just turn the channel or watch Netflix and it disappears. We have lit ourselves on fire, the planet is literally an inferno caused by human activity. We have lit ourselves on fire. |
