Song Connection

How it Connects to Biomass and Charcoal

This song was created by AURORA, a Norwegian singer-songwriter. In this song she sings about how human consumption of the Earth is negatively affecting the ecosystem.

In the line, "When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned. You cannot eat money, oh no oh no" this highlights how most biofuels and charcoal are made, with organic materials such as trees. This also helps highlight a problem with burning Biomasses, acid rain. Acid rain will run off into our water supply, poisoning it.

In the line, "Feed me sunlight, feed me air" I interrupted this as the chemicals in the air, such as VOCs and NO mixing together from the sunlight and the other chemicals in the air.

Lyrics

Just like the seed

I don't know where to go

Through dirt and shadow, I grow

I'm reaching light through the struggle

Just like the seed

I'm chasing the wonder

I unravel myself

All in slow motion

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no

Suffocate me

So my tears can be rain

I will water the ground where I stand

So the flowers can grow back again

'Cause just like the seed

Everything wants to live

We are burning our fingers

But we learn and forgive

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no

Feed me sunlight, feed me air

In a place where nothing matters

Feed me truth and feed me prayer (dancing around a shooting star)

And every cell remembers

Feed me sunlight, feed me air (that have taken us this far)

I see images of killer whales

Feed me truth and feed me prayers (sleeping in a desert trail)

Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no
