"Smog in My Eyes," a song by the multi-genre artist Kurt Holes that explores the oppressive atmosphere of urban life. The verses depict a world where the physical and emotional pollution of the city merge, symbolized by the "concrete jungle" where "diesel clouds up in the sky" obscure the natural world and leave people "chokin." A central theme is the difficulty of maintaining hope and clarity when one's vision—both literal and metaphorical—is blocked, expressed through the powerful recurring image, "Smog in my eyes can't see, dreams are hazy blurry." Despite this struggle and the feeling that "hearts are tired and broken," the song concludes with a resilient emphasis on the collective will to "keep on movin' right" and cling "to the hope we find" even in this unrelenting, unkind environment.
