I'm walking to the something
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Collapse
I'm drinking too much bla bla,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Fall out
I'm feeling really bla bla, I want to bla bla bla,
Collapse
And in the end it means I bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end

I got myself together
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.
Watch out
I didn't need the patience, life bla bla bla bla bla
Collapse
Don't you sit to close, or I'll bla bla bla bla bla
Break up
Stick it up your nose
Bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end

I didn't mean to do it (Rock it, rock it)
It loved me in my head (Rock it, rock it)
I tried to be a charmer, (Rock it, rock it)
But I got a bit hopeless instead (Rock it, rock it)
The world is very sexy (Rock it, rock it)
It's part of my collapse (Rock it, rock it)

I'm walking to the something (It's part of my collapse...)
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
I'm drinking too much bla bla,
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Fall out
I'm feeling really bla bla, I want to bla bla bla,
Collapse
And in the end it means I bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
The end

I didn't mean to do it (Rock it, rock it)
It loved me in my head (Rock it, rock it)
I tried to be a charmer, (Rock it, rock it)
But I got a bit hopeless instead (Rock it, rock it)
The world is very sexy (Rock it, rock it)
It's part of my collapse (Rock it, rock it)

I'm walking to the something (It's part of my collapse...)
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
I'm drinking too much bla bla,

Rock it
Rock it
Rock it

    My Interpretation

    I've thought of it as being about how celebrities don't try hard to put out music that has any actual meaning to it anymore. The lines that go with the 'blah blah blahs' are about how all music during the time is just about the same exact stuff, and that eventually the meanings fade and it just sounds like every other type of music that's around.

    I've always heard the other part as being:

    I didn't mean to do it It loved me in my head I tried to a charmer But got a bit hopeless instead The world is very sexy It's part of my collapse

    This part is about how the celebrities try to get out of things, like when you hear about a celebrity having an alcohol addiction or a drug problem. They claim they 'didn't mean to do it, it loved me in my head'. They 'try to be a charmer' so that people will believe them and say that they shouldn't be punished, but they just get 'a bit hopeless instead' because eventually people will realize that they aren't going to stop doing it anyway, so there's no point in letting them go free.

    'The world is very sexy' is probably about how sexual things are a main part of music nowadays, and as such, 'it's part of my collapse', the celebrity becomes one that people think is a sick or disgusting kind and they forget about them eventually.

    The 'rock it, rock it' part at the end symbolizes how, despite the scandals and issues of the celebrity world, there are still fans who love their music and are willing to 'rock it' when listening to them sing and perform.

    to me, it just sounds like someone going through the process of being celebrities. you're going for your dream, but you don't know where you're headed. you've drunkenin this lifestyle, with fake all around you. drugs and alcohol, you can't take it anymore. when you finally start to curve around, you fall further. eventually all your thoughts and experiences and drugs "lock you in your head" after you've tried to charm the world into your ways.

    then again, I'm 14.

    what exactly, do I know?

    If not for the tagline "reject false icons", I'd say this song is about how nobody really cares what you have to say, someone's struggling with themselves/life yet no one cares enough to reach out to help them because all they hear out of them is "blah, blah, blah, blah" because everyone's too busy with their own life.

    This song is practical joke like for instance the Beatles "I'm The Walrus", which was written because John Lennon got pissed off by people who'd interpret a deep and controversial meaning in every Beatles lyric existing. It pretends to have a deep meaning but infact hasnt any meaning so that people would try to work out its meaning but would always fail since the song has no meaning infact. Or for short, as John Lennon said when he wrote "I'm The Walrus": "Let the fuckers work out on this one" The song is also corresponded to the gorillaz "Reject False Icons" action, which doesnt have any religious meaning as Andrack said. Its a social thing about, for instance, not buying stuff from concerns that sort of enslave people in 3rd world countries or to not listen to any crap, Pre-made music like, for instance, Britney Spears.

    It's a parody of pop artists songs that have no meaning to them and are shallow and pointless. That's why there are all those blue heads, those are celebrities, all that stuff they do is all random and pointless, just like them. And the competion winner is about all those stupid competitions they have which are also pointless. Reject False Icons: reject pop artists and pop culture. Fits in with the rest of the song. Read Return of the Ogre and you'll see!!!

    yeah. I can agree with cassandra rose, and say also agreeing with whoever said it earlier, I think it's about the metaphorical lobotomy of having ones brain removed by "lobotomy pop" or mindless drek created to make money and turn all these people into mindless sycophants. and about "reject false Icons". it speaks to me. false Icons can be anything from political leaders to gods and deitys to the leaders of these mindless pop empires with their style-slaves. It means think for yourself, formulate your own opinion, don't go with the masses, fitting in is not worth compromsing your principles.

    The statue appears at the beginning of Dawn of the Dead, which is why they used it, Dawn of the Dead being a big influence for the Gorillaz and its fits in with the zombie feel. All in all the song means don't become a mindless zombie who follow the masses. Only dead fish follow the stream.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Album art
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
