      I feel this is 2-D speaking directly to the fandom. The fans help cheer him up, but he's reminding them that he's just a cartoon; don't be sad for him, and don't take whatever happens in the lore so seriously.
      I'll probably be crucified for saying that, at least on Twitter, but it's the only other interpretation that makes sense to me beyond the Amazon robot one that Damon talked about.

It's probably been so long that you've forgotten your first listens of their older stuff where you didn't really get them yet, and you probably don't consistently listen to the songs on those albums you don't care for.

    This song really hits home for me. My Dad passed away last year and the last time I had talked to him I introduced him to Gorillaz and he loved their songs. I heard this song for the first time at the Gorillaz concert in Dallas and cried when I heard the words, “Don’t be sad for me.” “And my intent is to breathe in a new world.” In a way it feels like a farewell from my Dad.

    LYRICS
    To the pole, at least, try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're fooling with here
    There will be time and there will be a sign (ape)
    When all the kids who have cancelled time will (ape)
    Take my hands and pull me up again (ape)
    Cheer me up and help me walk again (walk again, walk again)
    To the pole, at least, try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're fooling with here (ape)
    I got bones and I got jaded legs (ape)
    Not the type that can win a race (ape)
    Living plastic on a vacant lot (ape)
    Left behind, staring at a robot
    Don't be sad for me (ape)
    I'm a cartoon G (ape)
    And my intent is to breath (ape)
    In a new world, don't be sad for me
    I can balance on the highest tree (ape)
    You can only see the outline of me (ape)
    I can disappear or light in your day (ape)
    Imitate and say, "I'm a skinny little ape"
    Don't be sad for me, I'm a skinny little ape (ape)
    I'm a cartoon G (I'm a cartoon G; ape)
    And my intent is to breath (ape)
    In a new world, don't be sad for me
    Don't be sad for me (embarrassing, I think I'm gonna fly)
    I'm a cartoon G (but now I'm in the plastic and staring at the sky)
    And my intent is to breath (ape)
    In a new world, don't be sad for me
    I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little

      "The group [Seymour, prior to signing with Food and changing name to Blur, signing in March 1990] performed live for the first time in summer 1989 in the goods shed of the East Anglian Railway Museum at Chappel & Wakes Colne"
      - that tiny little train stop is on the little shuttle train from Sudbury - Bures - Chappel & Wakes Colne - Marks Tey which I use every time I head down to my dad's in Essex (Sudbury, Suffolk being the closest station & Marks Tey on the line from my home in Norwich to London). I'm now gonna picture Seymour(/Blur) playing whenever I pass through. Very picturesque there on the Gainsborough Line.

    As I got a third of the way through the song, I thought to myself: "This is nice, but it probably needs a lift in energy". So up until halfway through the track I expected a number of moments to mark this increase, but then I gave up trying to predict its appearance.
    Then the double time came out of nowhere and gave me a very pleasant surprise! Combined with the mention of a new world this made for a happy and valiant song that I'll for sure be listening to again

    Gorillaz haven't quite hit Plastic Beach levels for me since that record came out, but this is certainly heading in the right direction.
    I will always maintain that Damon is at his best when he isn't collaborating with anybody.

    • @MrsBlaileen1
      @MrsBlaileen1 Před rokem +8

      Agreed. He is so powerful and raw on his own, that the collaborations kind of dilute him a lot. It just got to be too much on “Humanz”, IMO. You never rob your frontman of his power. And I agree that Plastic Beach is a masterpiece. The collabs didn’t overwhelm him there.

    • @MrToddino

    Lyrics
    Shoot the pool at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're dealing with here
    I was called Skinny Ape

    There will be time and there will be a sign
    When all the kids who have cancelled time will
    Take my hand and pull me up again
    Cheer me up and help me walk again
    Shoot the pool at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're dealing with here

    I got bones, I got jaded legs
    Not the type that can rearrange around
    Leaving plastic on a vacant lot
    Left me high and staring at a robot

    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    I can balance on the highest tree
    You can hardly see outlines of me
    I can disappear, all I am your day
    In this vacant stage
    I'm a skinny little ape

    Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape)
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape

    [LYRICS]
    To the pole at ease, try to let it go
    But nobody knows what their fooling will be
    There will be time and there will be a sign
    When all the kids who have cancelled time will
    Take my hands and pull me up again
    Cheer me up and help me walk again
    To the pole at ease, try to let it go
    But nobody knows what their fooling will be
    I got bones and I got gated legs
    Not the type that can win a race
    Living plastic on a vacant lot
    Left behind, staring at a roadblock
    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe
    In a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    Breathe
    I can balance on the highest tree
    You can only see outline of me
    I can disappear all light in your day
    Imitate and say "I'm a skinny little ape"
    Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape)
    I'm a cartoon G (I'm a cartoon G)
    And my intent is to breathe
    In a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    Don't be sad for me (Where is here? I think I'm gonna fly)
    I'm a cartoon G (Behind the blast, staring at the sky)
    And my intent is to breathe
    In a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    Skinny little
    Skinny little
    Skinny little
    Skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape (x4)
    Ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape (x4)
