The song's about the everyday person (the ants of the title), but a cog in the machinery of society("Your little feet working the machine"), who uses music("polyphonic prairies") as escapism. The first part, that 2D (Albarn) sings, describes how even as the world falls apart around us, music allows us to float away and above the disaster; the second part, sung by Noodle (or Little Dragon, however you want to see it), talks about how we trudge through societies obligations and niceties, using our personal dreams as motivation to keep going ("Little dreams,working the machine"), hoping either to make them come true, or to move society forward, instead of just letting it idle in place ("Will it spin? Will it soar?") |
