OK, so I was on the Gorillaz myspace page, and I noticed a song, "Stop the Dams", which is apparently on the Kids With Guns/El Manana CD. I was listening to it, then I read the lyrics. Here's what I think. I think that this is like the end, where you realize that things won't always be like they are, with Noodle gone and everything, things will be bright again, kind of like foreshadowing, right? Ok so I've never done one of these analysis things, so give me your feedback. What do you think of "Stop the Dams"


Lyrics:
When you're smoking tinfoil in the morning
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you

Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands

This young land is a young land let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive

You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With Aluminium

The cling and a clang
Is the metal in my head when I walk
I hear a sort of, this tinging noise
Cling clang
The cling clang
So many things happen while walking
The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought
Is just clogged up
Totally clogged up
So we need to unplug these dams
And make the the natural flow
It sort of freaks me out
We need to unplug the dams
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought
With a cling and a clang

And wake me up again until
We're Aluminium
You hold it in your hands
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again

Sounds like their saying "We're gonna replace Noodle but the fans will know what happened and become upset." Or
"You will miss them but then you won't."
whee I'm not good at this.

if you have a myspace, go to the gorillaz page, and it's one of the songs.

*Is currently listening to that song on the KWG/El manana single* xD

The song is kinda like Hong Kong in a way, it's for the Stop The Dams Campaign to help Icelandic Nature (Google it). It's a collab with Ghostigital and The Reykjavik West End Brass Band. The song is probably about what'll happen if the Dams aren't unclogged and all that biscuit. Sounds more like a Damon song than a Gorillaz song though.

Anyone remember th'lyric
"It's getting harder to see the sun coming through"?
Mebbe it's connected. Or that good things will happen soon.
