Traffic In The Sky Lyrics

Cover art for Traffic In The Sky lyrics by Jack Johnson

I always took this track to be saying, "look, were putting so much crap in our atmosphere, plane emissions etc, its killing our world. If we dug down and looked at the evidence of our former climates then we would know where were heading" I'm no tree hugger and i can understand everyone mentioning september 11th, but i think there's a deeper vein in this song.

Oh and nina - the meaning is, not was, whatever you take from listening to it as an individual :-)
