Every Planet We Reach Is Dead
Gorillaz · Demon Days [2005]
So no loose ends
Nothing to see me down
How are we going to work this out?
Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back
I love the gun
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you...
But what are we going to do?
Picture I'm a dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low..
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?
When you go back
All the second selfless days
You're in love with him
I want to see you again
I love you...
But what are we going to do?
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead stands as a haunting highlight from Gorillaz's 2005 album Demon Days. Produced by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the track captures the band's signature blend of alternative rock, hip hop, and electronic textures. The song features a driving, industrial rhythm that underscores a narrative of cosmic isolation and existential dread. Musically, it showcases the group's ability to merge live instrumentation with digital manipulation, creating a soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate. As part of a critically acclaimed era for the virtual band, the recording reflects their continued experimentation with genre boundaries. The track remains a compelling example of their unique approach to storytelling through sound, offering listeners a glimpse into the darker, more introspective side of their discography.
