About the media influence on children.
The way it is played off as a scapegoat to try and explain the irrational actions of children sometimes. |

Cleared a few things up their daprincetrk nice one..
Just to go back to last point, I think it would be WWI instead of the second one. That was the war in which "a whole generation of young men lost their lives". Also the trenches were often described as hell on earth etc in the famous war poems of the time. |

Oh dear I can't believe nobody has commented on this song. This is a great song. I think it's about hedonism and just total uselessness. |

| Gorillaz – Don't Get Lost in Heaven Lyrics

This is the penultimate song on the album and for some reason, for me, reminds me of the ending of the Wizard of Oz where everyone is getting ready to go home, but with more (:p) drug references.
Also points out in this song how heaven could be seen as relative, in the way that the Choir refer to heaven as the hedonism of this song. A huge reference to "fire coming out of a monkey's head" leads us back through the album and reflects on it. |

As a bloke from Essex that accent in this song is very familiar to me. I assume that maybe as Damon also comes from Essex, Colchester *spits*, that maybe that is why this voice is about.
That's what it means to me anyway, sort of fun loving nice friendly but dodgy Essex wideboy. |

| Gorillaz – Demon Days Lyrics

As I said in another Gorillaz song (can't remember which one now) I just heard an interview with Damon Albarn on t'radio and it said something about this song being the end of the experience of meeting all the Demons, and coming out into the Daylight.
Maybe it's about taking the information from the demons and actually doing something with it on earth instead of just sitting on that information and forgetting about it when you turn off the music. |

I thought it also had ideas placed in the words about conservation that concerns our planet and not just, what it may have been intended to express, the individual.
Also the "BEEP" bit, must be something to do with a message on an answer phone. Maybe the first verse is a warning to somebody?!? |

I don't think that it is a quesion of either or. I think this song shows the temptation of partying outside and it definitely feels like the person singing is outside on a Saturday/Friday night. The rythm definitely and the way the words are spoken convey the way the man consumes coccaine and alcohol and then there is a bit halway through where there is a tranquil noise and this could be showing how all this consumption only leads up to a little bit of peace.
I would also point out how this is another song that have cropped up in Blur albums before, which are short and punchy, such as 'Bank Holiday' and 'We've got a file on you'
Also I have just heard on BBC radio 1 an interview with Damon on this album, 'Demon Days', and he says that the album is like a conversation with Demons until the last song, also called 'Demon Days', which is the coming out of this nightmare or whereever this meeting is occuring. |
