Empire Ants Lyrics

Cover art for Empire Ants lyrics by Gorillaz

I wanna talk about this specific part, which gives me two different perspectives

"Little memories marching on, their little dreams/feet working the machine"

For me, it's either talking about how we're actually NPCs in a simulation, and we keep 'working the machine' by living.

Or it's about how we make the 'machine' (in this case, it would be the corporations and wealthy people) grow by trying to accomplish our own dreams

My Interpretation
