Rising Smoke and Fading Truth: The Stone Foxes' Electric Stomp Message
Lyrics
Smoke keeps rising from the coal
Symbolic imagery of industry or human activity with smoke rising from coal.
Feed the fire and burn it slow
Encouragement to sustain the fire, possibly metaphorical for maintaining passion or drive.
I don't need my eyes to see it's wrong
Recognition of a wrongdoing or negative situation without relying on visual evidence.
Everything I know will soon be gone
An impending loss or change in the familiar, highlighting the transient nature of knowledge.
Whoa oh oh oh
Expressing emotions or a sense of urgency with repetitive, anthemic "Whoa" sounds.
Whoa oh oh oh
-Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh
-Kill the crops and steal the stones
Conveying the destructive nature of progress, involving sacrificing nature for urban development.
To make the streets and build the homes
Illustrating the process of civilization where resources are taken for construction.
Let it down and keep moving on
Advocating a continuous, unceasing progression despite consequences.
Everything I know will soon be gone

Highlighting the relentless passage of time and challenges faced in life.
