oops - posted in the wrong section. I'll repost it here with a few additions.
The song is about the interplay between technology, consumerism and the damage our fake (rhinestone) and "plastic" lifestyle is doing to the environment.
A pod is a social group of whales or dolphins. "Our pod is now washed up in bleach."
And nobody knows what to do with the heat - reference to global warming. "Under sunshine pylons we'll meet, while rain is falling from the sky." Nature is corrupted so much from human pollution that it rains even when the global warming sun is burning down in pylons.
You're clinging to the atoms (technology) and I'm seeing the adjustment and signs of change (climate change, environmental destruction). His soul is frozen (from ice age climate change? from the way technology is divorcing us from nature?) and the birds and all that grows is trying to reach him, tapping on the "natives" in his soul, or that part of him that still is connected to nature deep down.
Gorillaz is a "virtual" band made with technology, a scary gargoyle that we've made with consumerism and plastic power (computers and CDs), as we wait in paralytic dreams with rhinestone (dead/fake) eyes for future pixels (more releases) from factories far away.

"Nature's corrupted, in factories far away."
