Hillbilly Man Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sobertoast 

Cover art for Hillbilly Man lyrics by Gorillaz

seems to me to be about cocaine I realize that it's probably not just like "yea bro I wrote this song about coke" but I feel like the thought of cocaine or coke addiction was present when writing this

like a real straight shooter 3 lanes full

(coke is cut into lines, straight shooter, the straw or bill down the line, also the cocaine will "shoot" into your sinus)

I think he tried to take a simple idea of coke, then make an abstract song about it. Love this one has the whole "crashing melancholy" vibe on top of fast "euphoric" very few artists can convey this emotion well, gorillaz seem to do so in several of their songs.
