:I i dont fully agree on how you think about the album to sum the album up, i think its about how rotten our society has or may become (let me explain this pessimistic view) now i want to describe my thoughts on each songs as short as possible 1. intro: there is just one line in the intro:" we are now entering the harmonic world" while very unharmonic music plays. a person who seems to talk to ppl tries to tell them how see things, instead of letting them decide 2.last living souls: i think that one is obvious 3.kids with guns: is about the younger generation, what bad decisions they make and how that threatens us 4.o green world: i think thats obvious too 5.dirty harry: i think this one is about child soldiers or very young soldiers, the album art but also the video shows kids and weapons in the desert, which could be an iraq refference 6. feel good inc. : shows how money corrupts, the band build a tower and party hard, but 2D seems to be somehow unhappy, outside is noodles who doesnt get influenced by the money 7.el manana: "the dawn" i think its about a dying soldier (possibly again iraq? there is however the reaper hanging from a heli on the album art and in the video theres a heli shooting a mill until it crumbles, the singer prays 8.every planet we reach is dead: this is about loosing the soul, so its a bit like 2. there is even something about that in the gorillaz book "rise of the ogre" 9.november has come: is i think the "november" of humanity the moment before it end ("december"), its about a guy who takes drugs doesnt seem happy, sees that people dont behave how they should (even the nuns) 10.all alone: yea i dont know if i really get that one, with the popeye stuff and some ppl say its about bush and so...just got me confused 11.white light: describes the use of drugs white light and alcohol get repeated over and over in something like a party-mood. then it kicks in and you hear those soft and calm sounds thats the piece of peace you wanted, thats why you take drugs 12.dare: this is the only song that doesnt fit into the album, but at least i have a theory why, "people" is a pre-version of this song and is on d-sides so maybe they just put it in. if thats not the case i´d say its again just about party and dancing (althought that isnt really bad, so it would fit into the story) but i think this link could help a lot to explain the song meaning (its pretty dull, just exists so that you want to dance): http://gorillaz.wikia.com/wiki/Noodle%27s_%22Dare%22_interview 13.Fire is coming out of a monkeys head: shit is going down here, most important song!!! we are the happyfolk in this song, the strangefolk arrives like soldiers, jumping out of planes and shooting "us", but i think thats more like a refference, i think the strangefolk are people with power, people in the industry and politicians, we dont see them, they are in their area and we cant know what the people in their offices in their skyscrapers are doing, but they are secretly using us for their own good. they destroy nature (the mountain) to get its riches (the jewels) but the happyfolk starts feeling bad, it dreams bad, it sees darkness coming from the mountain, they know something is going wrong, but they dont know what or how to stop it, then the wholes appear and the wind chills down their souls (these are the consequences from exploiting the nature and urbanization of pretty much everything we see) it all ends with war, the mountain explodes the greed was to big and we are all doomed because of that. 14.dont get lost in heaven: this song even quotes 13. because this is the follow up, very much lines about drugs are here, but more important he sees dead ppl (deaths from the war) and "cracks on the corner" i think its cracks and not crack the drug, the crack shows that he sees mistakes we made but thinks its too late to fix it "dont get lost in heaven" and all that stuff about the fences symbolize the past, gorillaz arent religious its not about the christian heaven 15. demon days: the demon days are the days that follow, its says that a nice person hardly can survive now, meaning that humanity now really became an unfriendly destructive turd on the surface of the planet earth! i hope you like it and/or agree with me!!! sry if theres bad grammar, i wrote this at 2:23 am and didnt sleep much last night |

its NOT about masturbation! No! just quit it! http://gorillaz.wikia.com/wiki/Noodle%27s_%22Dare%22_interview "interview" with noodles she says that its just a feel-good song and that she wanted to dance, she made the song herself and shot the video without the others knowing. now about the "its coming up" part: He was stuck in the vocal booth with his headphones on, but he couldn't here us. So, he shouted over to us, "Hey! Turn up the headphones would ya?" So where turning them up and he's going, "Yes! It's coming up a bit..it's coming up..it's coming up....it's coming up..it's there!!" It sounded so good that we decided to use that bit for the chorus. i think this actually happened since they use the guys real name in the "interview" (you can see the guys head in the video) some said that the "you´ve got to press it on you" HAS to be about mastubation well i dont see in which way. when you masturbate you rub and dont press, besides noodles is a girl. if anything then she would have to say "press it IN me". but she doesnt, because its just about having that feeling that most people have when hearing it! i also think its worth mentioning, that this version doesnt have the original lyrics. "people" is a pre-version off this song and is sung by 2D thats also the reason why it doesnt really fit into the demon days album story, it wasnt really made for it |

i´ll try to give a simple idea: the album demon days is about the doom of humankind, the first tracks describe whats going wrong and what the situation is (pollution, child soldiers, people don´t care anymore, have no soul, etc.) this all gets described, then everything ends in "fire is coming out of a monkeys head" when the mountain explodes everyone dies and then follow the songs "don´t get lost in heaven" and "demon days" now to this song its song nine from 13 so relatively close to "fire co.o. monkeys head" which is at 13 its close to the end, november isnt really the month, its like the moments before it comes to an end in december, now is time to do what ever you want because you wont have to live the consequences for long. the singer describes the situation, what the people are doing, what he is doing he takes drugs, but does not seem to be quite happy it also seems like ppl act weird and out of control (for example read the lines with the nun) he realizes: the world is coming to its end, thats why he isnt happy this is my theory at least |
