The Kite String Pops, also the title of the album, is a reference to being at that moment where you're so fucked up that you just float away. Almost dissassociative. You're not quite on the ground, not quite up in the sky, but that all too real moment where you're in between the two, outside looking in. That's important in relation to the rest of the song, which seems to be a rejection of the modern world.
It's natural abandon, and therefore, freedom. In smoking the bones of baby dolls, they use a very symbolic innocence as a drug to escape the consumerist material world into something pure.
@rabbithowl I think "The Kitestring pops" as a title and as a lyric both reference innocence being lost then "im swallowed whole by the sky" is reality slapping you in the face after your innocence is lost. And as far as "we smoke the bones of baby dolls" I believe it to be just abstract Dax Riggs lyrics. Many of his lyrics are exactly that. Just abstract and completely open to any listeners interpretation of what it means. No one truly knows but Dax, and I don't see him publishing a book about the meanings of his work....
