Cover art for Lampshades on Fire lyrics by Modest Mouse

Think of the earth as a lamp. As humans we could easily turn on the light of the lamp. I think the light of the lamp resembles renewable energy. Instead of just turning the lamp on for light we just burn the lamp shade (lamp shaded on fire) which doesnt burn for very long like fossil fuels. The lamp shade is seen as the ozone. After using fossil fuels for a long time the ozone is gone and nature is ruined.
