Doncamatic (All Played Out) Lyrics

Cover art for Doncamatic (All Played Out) lyrics by Gorillaz

I thought it sounded like "claim back the boy you left behind" (his childhood) but i can't tell. Anyway, i think its about the autonomous music industry of today and how the same songs get played over and over until the listeners are bored. Then the next batch of songs is crapped out. And so on. Also, when he says "close the white book, unplug the brain from the game cause its time to wipe out till the stars get on the fame" it makes me think of a macbook laptop and facebook. Its as if he is saying, "I'm gettin the F*** out of this robotic video game of a life while i can, and the rest of you can have your 'famous' lives in magazines and social networking sites. This song is a sign of what is to come from Damon ALbarn I think. He's going solo. My guess is he's going to parody pop singers like Lady Gaga.

^(-.-)^ hmmm

My Interpretation

I kind of agree with you about the music industry bit.

To me Doncamatic sort of sounds like a lot of the music we hear on the radio today. A lot of the songs that have taken over the airwaves have that same run-of-the-mill pop sounds in them like the auto-tunes and other effects.. It's "all played out." Originality is lacking in the pop music world.

I never considered the white book being a laptop, but once your told and you read the words arund it, it makes sense. I don't understand why the reference couldn't have been made clearer because unless people are familure with the term it's waisted on most people.

@KittenCabada Pop is the safest on the radio
