Alright people. I was seeing the Documentary on the Gorillaz on youtube. On part 9 of Bananaz, a lady approaches Damon Albarn about the lyrics. Damon says it's not "harm" It's "I need a gun to keep myself AMONG". in the video he says: "It's a type of rhetorical theme, an anti-war song. If you look at Bootie Brown's lyrics, It's utterly and totaly anti... that. It's pacifist, the whole record is pacifist."
And here is what he says about the gun as a symbol:
"The gun is a... I suppose I see the gun.... and I use this throughout the record as a strong kind of.... It's such a negative image that it has to be somehow... sort of.. destroyed, and turned into something else."
If you don't believe me, type it in on youtube: "Gorillaz Bananaz Part 9". Skip to 0:23 And watch until 4:10.
