| Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Absolutely right - to a point. You have to look at whose singing it, and as perceived from the Gorillaz universe, who's writing the lyrics. 2-D (lead vocals) suffers from chronic headaches and migraines. I believe the song was not only a reference to drug use in general, but to his medication being his only solution, the thing he is ultimately dependent on just to live from today to tomorrow. Much of this song is character driven. Even the "rap portion" of this song, while obviously containing deeper meaning, frequently addresses Russel (the drummer) whose body the ghost (whom is rapping) he inhabits. So yes, definitely drug use with some deeper lessons to be spotted throughout, but from the characters' personal lives, too. :) |
