Smoke In The Air
Amidst Chaos: Reflections on Smoke and Consequence
Lyrics
Have you seen the smoke in the air
Observing the presence of smoke in the air.
I bet it feels warm when you dance
Suggesting that dancing amidst the smoke feels warm.
I bet you haven't seen me do a handstand yet
Expressing an unobserved skill (handstand) and challenging assumptions about oneself.
We don't care if you're shaking and scared
Indicating indifference to others' fear or vulnerability.
Don't try to breathe it in too much
Advising caution in inhaling the smoke due to potential harm.
It's not the kind of stuff you want close to your heart
Describing the smoke as harmful, warning against getting emotionally close to it.
Try not to get it in your lungs
Cautioning against inhaling the smoke to avoid negative consequences in one's life.
It's not ideal for a love gone wrong
Suggesting that exposure to the smoke is not suitable for a failed romantic relationship.
So why infect the land where we live
Questioning the decision to contaminate the living environment.
The grass turns black while the sky turns red
Depicting environmental degradation, with black grass and a red sky.
Have you seen the blood on your hands
Asking if the person has acknowledged the harm they've caused (metaphorical blood on hands).
Reject the fact that you caused this mess
Encouraging the rejection of responsibility for the mess created.
Don't try to breathe it in too much
Reiterating the warning against inhaling the harmful smoke.
It's not the kind of stuff you want close to your heart
Reemphasizing the danger of getting emotionally close to the harmful elements.
Try not to get it in your lungs
Restating the caution against inhaling the smoke due to potential consequences.
It's not ideal for a love gone wrong
Highlighting that exposure to the harmful smoke is inappropriate for a failed love affair.
Have you seen the smoke in the air
Returning to the initial observation of smoke in the air.
They said keep calm, it's a common event'
Quoting advice to remain calm during a perceived common event.
And it's costing us, what a world it was
Reflecting on the cost of the event and lamenting the state of the world.
Such a shame she had to press reset
Expressing regret that a reset was necessary, suggesting a negative outcome.
