I believe the song is referring to a book called The Cloud of Unknowing. It is a christian book from the 14th century. The song obviously has something to do with it and god, and knowing gorillaz it probably has something to do with doubting god or maybe the the mystery of its existence. According to the book God is on the cloud of unknowing(I was here from the start, every satellite is watching).

Maybe he is saying, hes on the cloud because he doesn't know if he exists or doesnt. Because of this way of thinking, his world is open, because i know from experience, that your imagination goes to some crazy places with this line of thought.
Woh deep, I'm really confused now....

Now I want to go and find a copy and read it just to see if any of it joins up!
I thought that the cloud of unknowing was just a poetic way of saying that your up away from everything seperated and not knowing.
