O Green World Lyrics

Cover art for O Green World lyrics by Gorillaz

I rather like your interpretation, but when I first read this, the impression I got was this.

O green world, Don't desert me now Bring me back to fallen town Where someone is still alive Fighting for something new in this When no one needs the heart of me and I'll Get out somewhere other than me before...

Again, it was reminescent of a war theme. It sounds a lot like what I think of other songs, about a soldier or something. I thought maybe he was looking for life in the rubble. I felt like he felt like a soulless pawn in a bigger game, fighting for something he didn't believe in. And at the end, he turned to drugs to rid himself of his angst. In the middle, he felt insignificant against such a big world.

Whatever... I like yours. It works better, I think.
