Cloud Of Unknowing Lyrics

Cover art for Cloud Of Unknowing lyrics by Gorillaz

I'm going with "satellite" personally. F--- the lyric book. Next, try to tell me that Lady Gaga's just saying "p-p-p-poker face."

I like how we're hearing Womack again on this. It's as if he's the same voice we heard while visiting the Stylo...this weary old hermit whose been dwelling in space, above the Plastic Beach this whole time (maybe IN A SATELLITE, thankyouverymuch) ...wanting to see his love, his humanity restored, but all he's seen has been tragic...a whole world turned to plastic.

During our journey through the Plastic Beach, he's been trying to reach us...to tell us...to find a way to our hearts...but maybe we never really noticed.

Man! What a good damn song!

I think it's possibly a song about nature and how mankind treats the world

Every satellite up here is watching But I was here from the very start Trying to find a way to your heart

I think talks about how the modern world loves technology and artificial life, but nature and the world have been here since, well, it all began! and have always looked for man to love it in return

I think talks about how the modern world loves technology and artificial life, but nature and the world have been here since, well, it all began! and have always looked for man to love it in return

All the days are forgetting They've gone out with the tide Lost at sea somewhere, waiting Like setting suns at the rodeo Trying to find someone you'll never know...

All the days are forgetting They've gone out with the tide Lost at sea somewhere, waiting Like setting suns at the rodeo Trying to find someone you'll never know

Mankind never appreciates what is around it, just the events that occur, literally- a sunset is forgotten at a rodeo whilst man is busy messing with nature. The fickleness of mankind looking to gain pleasure of one night stands when they could be appreciating the beauty of what is around it.

Oh, sinking love

The inevitablility that the situation of nature will only get worse

On the cloud of unknowing Every satellite up here is watching Waiting to see what the morning brings May bring sunshine on its wings

And despite all this nature will continue to provide these beauties for the world- looking to please mankind

maybe? That's what i interpret the lyrics to mean anyway

Some people thought that it was about wanting love or needing love in return.... If you think about it the theme of mankinds treatment of nature is still saying the same thing. Its still someone(in your interpretation mother earth) wanting to be loved.... This is whats so wonderful about the song, you can apply it to anything or any one.
