| Gorillaz – Stylo Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is about the race to freedom through technology and specifically the singularity. at the beginning of the video the car marked with stylo is just looking down at the floor and can't really see where it is going and then you see its smoking already damaged and one of the cartoon gorilla guys has been shot and he smokes like a machine, I think that represents freedom and technology and the idea that we don't really know where we are going and are in pretty bad shape at the moment as a society. It's a race against our current condition, the authorities and then some other element which Bruce Willis represents, possibly the love of violence, you can see he takes great joy in trying to catch them and shooting their mirror whilst the cop crawls desperately for his doughnuts. Towards the end the stylo car speeds up (like how technology is increasing at an exponential rate) and then magically transforms in to a submarine shark thing over the cliff and escapes whilst bruce willis is left behind thinking they are dead. |
