I think it's about 2D/Albarn hiding from real life through technology i.e.: by watching tv and listening to the radio. He start saying everybody is there with him, but he's not in the world and the digital won't let him go. These people with him are actually on tv and he's hooked to watching tv. In the same verse he says there is no camera to see and the camera won't let him go. He also feels judged wrongly (the verdict). He feels watched and wants to hide from 'the camera', he doesn't want to be judged by the people around him (verdict). In the second verse he hides in the world of the radio after a long day, telling himself he won't be there too long (so he probably does this all the time and continues doing it). In the chorus it becomes clear that he is hiding away too much. He doesn't do his duties, like paying bills and taxes, and postpones them to 'tomorrow'. The problem is that tomorrow has already arrived, and so the next day becomes tomorrow. so he is postponing his real-life duties infinitely. You can hear it in the way he sings the chorus: he sings yeaheahyeah as though it bugs him, he waves it way: He'll pay tomorrow. That makes the meaning of the chorus ambiguous. The 'paying' might also mean that he'll regret what he's doing. And he'll find out the hard way. I think this is what the songs means. It seems to fit everything he says perfectly... This is my personal interpretation of the song though, I don't know if it is correct. |
