Broken Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DrDavidLopan 

Cover art for Broken lyrics by Gorillaz

It's about someone trying to deal with the modernizing world while experiencing an existential crisis. Wanting to be able to connect with humanity, but truthfully understanding that isn't going to be possible, because you are alone in your experiences of the world.

It's about how a majority of 16 year olds, when asked, stated they would prefer internet access over a drivers license. Dissociation from physical relationships and becoming dependent on pixalated emotions in non-irl relationships where we often tell eachother we love eachother before or without meeting at all before the whole thing fizzles out due to the fact that by nature it cannot deliver what it takes to support its self.

I even illustrated what the song means to me on a youtube vid of it.
