This song pulls from the awful wildfires we experienced in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee areas late in 2016. Living in Charlotte, NC at the height of the fires strength, you could see, smell, and taste the smoke sitting at chest level, hiding the towering skyscrapers downtown. It shouldn't take a tragedy showing signs to you personally to have us realize that our problems effect us all in certain ways. Its a selfish social norm. Until we see the flames from our window its not our problem. This can also be echoed by the fires we start in our own relationships, in those moments before we see any repercussions.
