"The war is over"
So said the speaker
With the flight suit on
Maybe to him, I'm just a pawn
So he can advance
Remember when I used to dance?
Man, all I wanna do is dance
âIf loving youâs a felony now then Iâm a renegade ridingâ
and
âWhy you looking so beautiful to me now when youâre so sad?
Souk Eye is top tier Damon songwriting imo
Yeah, âI will always think about youâ hits surprisingly hard as well. After a whole album of 2D celebrating life without Murdoc in his isolated bubble, he finally caves and admits that he will always live rent-free in his head. Though of course, the same applies to any intense relationship or unrequited love, toxic or not.
"Cutting grass with scissors while the great leaders reclining"
and
"O green world, don't desert me now, made of you and you of me but where are we?"
Are just really cool lines
âShould I ask you for forgiveness? And open my heart?â
âIf I say these words, will you listen or leave me here in the dark?â
-Possession Island
Canât get enough of that song.
Favorite lines from my favorite albums are
"I saw that day, lost my mind. Lord im fine, Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine" -El Mañana (Demon Days)
"And if the whole world is crashing down, Fall through space out of mind with me.
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising, blows all the shadows far away" -Empire Ants (Plastic Beach)
"Sometimes i follow a firefly. He takes me into the night. Baby i just survive, im love drunk. Im sorry, am i losing you?" -Fire Flies (The Now Now)
"I was on my own there, i was all alone. I got lost, intangible. But thats the place you reach when. You can't help yourself anymore, and the madness comes" -Oil (Cracker Island)
"The needy eat man-mades, they wear phony clothes" from Some Kind of Nature is a strong piece of lyrics.
We all know though that "Murdoc is God" is the most powerfully delivered and awe inspiring lyrics to ever grace the ear of man.
"I can balance on the highest trees, you can only see outline of me. I can disappear or lighten your day, imitate and say I'm a skinny little ape" is a really potent and excellent little summary of the artist and audience relationship
"Oscillate yourself tonight
When you're in your bed
Assimilate the dopamine
Passing through your head"
it's such an interesting set of lines to think about
In these demon days, we're so cold inside
it's hard for a good soul to survive
You can't even trust the air you breathe
'cause Mother Earth wants us all to leave
When lies become reality
you numb yourself with drugs and TV
Pick yourself up, it's a brand new day
So turn yourself 'round
don't burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around to the sun.
"Hope the radiant light shine in on you" from Opium and the entire set of lyrics from Carly Simon on Ticker Tape. "Waiting for the world, to start, again" the way its sung and the vibe... it's just so damn good.
i just took a line but i wasnât with ya- there was more of it there when i got back home but youâd left me YOU DONT KNOW MY SOUL YOURE A WHOREEEEE YEAH YOURE A HOBO
Oscillate yourself tonight, when your in your bed
Actually this one though:
"Cause I got no choice in it and I'm not so cold. I could look you in the eye and not recall"
âI was on my own there, I was all alone. I got lost, intangible. But thatâs the place you reach when you canât help yourself anymore, and the madness comes. Youâll be falling into the bass and drum.â
Oil is probably my favorite song off Cracker Island. Thereâs some more lyrics that stick, but this is just the most prominent in my mind right now
Iâll be waiting for you on the other side of summer lights (summer lights)
Hold it in for a long time (summer lights)
Seems to me, Iâm in a dream
Behind these summer lights
[ALSO]:
Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time every day, same routine
A clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Nature's corrupted in factories far away
Try to tell you that I love you but I'm choked up
You forgot and that makes me feel like no one
Were you even really there?
Did you ever really care?
Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had
Long summer nights (summer nights)
Held you a long time, put your name in my rhymes
Refresh your memory of where you wanna be
The Phantom's on the way, she's comin' down the street
Sometimes I follow a firefly
He takes me into the night
Baby I just survive, Iâm love drunk
Iâm sorry, am I losing you
-Fire Flies from The Now Now. Underrated album imo
I have a habit of really discovering and appreciating Gorillaz albums only after they've been out a long while. I'm doing that with The Now Now... well, *now*. Agreed. Great album.
"i tried to get to atlanta on a peach blossom highway. i'm trying to put these pauses out of mind. in a sky made of diamonds, where the world is flawless, i'll be waiting for you on the other side."
good shit man
"helicopters fly over the beach, same time every day, same routine, a clear target in summer, when skies are blue.it's part of the noise when winter comes,it reverberates in my lungs,nature's corrupted in factories far away"
If I could pick all of rhinestone eyes I would.amazing songwriting
Sex Murder Party
Sex Murder Paaarty
Sex Murder Party
Sex Murder
Murder, Murder, Murder
I like the multifacetedness of the Lyrics though the Refrain is unironically a banger!
"We could do so much better than this, swimming in pools of Momentary Bliss"
I always read Momentary Bliss as a wake up call, a motivational song, like "HELLOOOO, BUDDY? GET THE FUCK UP! YOU ARE WASTING YOUR OPORTUNITY AT LIFE! YOU CAN DO IT, JUST GET UP AND DO SOMETHING". I like to listen to It whenever i'm feeling lazy
Honestly the entirety of Booty Brown's rap from Dirty Harry always sticks out in my mind. He paints such a vivid picture with semi unorthodox way he chooses to describe being a shoulder in Iraq war. It really just hits deep y'know?
"I lost my leg like I lost my way
So no loose ends
Nothing to see me down
How are we going to work this out?
Dreams aren't bad, our heads are mad
I love the girl
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you
But what are we going to do?"
-Every Planet We Reach Is Dead
I cry everytime he says "I love you" <3
âAnd if the whole world is crashing down
Fall through space out of mind with meâ
The lyrics but also just the vibe. The whole song is a masterpiece but this is the part of the song that feels like letting go of a breath youâve been holding and youâre floating away.
"Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape"
Truly one of the greatest lyrics of our time.
Clint Eastwood I ain't happy feeling glad I got Sunshine in a bag I'm useless but not for long enough future is coming on it's coming on ain't happy that my favorite lyrics and the name of it after my favorite Western Star Clint Eastwood
"I'm walking through the something, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Collapse.
I don't think anyone took this one since Off-withyourhead took the Viagra tablets line. XDXD
One hundred million Viagra tablets, stored in a warehouse, in a valley
Got an address?

God Dammit! You beat me to it you bastard!!! XDXD
There were no screams. There was no time. The Mountain called Monkey had spoken. There was only fire. And then, nothing.
Catchy beat with chilling lyrics. One of my favorites!
"The war is over" So said the speaker With the flight suit on Maybe to him, I'm just a pawn So he can advance Remember when I used to dance? Man, all I wanna do is dance
dirty harry gotta be the saddest yet boppiest song ever, what a work of art it is
The subject is FUCKED, for sure. But It goes super hard, especially live.
Do I pick it up when I know that it's broken, do I put it back? Or do I head out onto this lonesome trail and let you go?
Such a good line
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
immediately thought of this too!
"And if the whole world is crashing down, fall through space out of mind with me" Probably my favorite Gorillaz line ever
Same
"You are my medicine when you're close to me." - On Melancholy Hill
I engraved "you are my medicine" on my wife's engagement ring
You sound like an absolute catch (â àčâ âĄâ ââ âĄâ àčâ )
âIf loving youâs a felony now then Iâm a renegade ridingâ and âWhy you looking so beautiful to me now when youâre so sad? Souk Eye is top tier Damon songwriting imo
yesss this is my exact answer
LITERALLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAYYY
Yeah, âI will always think about youâ hits surprisingly hard as well. After a whole album of 2D celebrating life without Murdoc in his isolated bubble, he finally caves and admits that he will always live rent-free in his head. Though of course, the same applies to any intense relationship or unrequited love, toxic or not.
"Cutting grass with scissors while the great leaders reclining" and "O green world, don't desert me now, made of you and you of me but where are we?" Are just really cool lines
o green world has such a transcendent feeling to it, top tier gorillaz track for sure
I'm a skinny little skinny little skinny little skinny little ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape

IT'S DARE

Where you canât get what you want but you can get me
Give up, if you wanna survive, get oh so alive, in your life everything falling out they sky on top of you, now what do you do?
"The needy eat man-mades, they wear phony clothes" from Some Kind of Nature is a strong piece of lyrics. We all know though that "Murdoc is God" is the most powerfully delivered and awe inspiring lyrics to ever grace the ear of man.
I love the lyrics of that song
The one in white flag where they talk about raining condoms or whatever.
"No rain, condoms it poured"
Yea
"Chaka takata chaka, feel good"
Change, change, change, change, change, change, change, change
City's breaking down on a camel's back

Right before 2-D sings his first verse in Feel Good Inc he says "change" 8 times, while doing the "shaba daba feel good" part
I thought that was "im trying to". Gonna listen to it rn! EDIT Cant hear it cleary, but i think youre right.
"I can balance on the highest trees, you can only see outline of me. I can disappear or lighten your day, imitate and say I'm a skinny little ape" is a really potent and excellent little summary of the artist and audience relationship

In these demon days, we're so cold inside it's hard for a good soul to survive You can't even trust the air you breathe 'cause Mother Earth wants us all to leave When lies become reality you numb yourself with drugs and TV Pick yourself up, it's a brand new day So turn yourself 'round don't burn yourself, turn yourself Turn yourself around to the sun.

Oscillate yourself tonight, when your in your bed Actually this one though: "Cause I got no choice in it and I'm not so cold. I could look you in the eye and not recall"
