Demon Days
Gorillaz · Demon Days [2005]
You don't get nobody, people sigh
It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
Hiding in a hole in there
All the glasses are too big
Bring it back, got to hold it back
To let you do that yet you don't want me back
Before it fall down, falling down falling down
Falling out to go far from the soul (ah)
Well these demon days are so cold inside
It's so hard to live, and so to survive
You can't even trust the air you breathe
Cause Mother Earth has a soul to leave
When lies become reality
You love yourself because it's easy
Pick yourself up it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around to the soul
To the soul, to the soul...
To the soul, to the soul...
Demon Days
Demon Days stands as a defining track from Gorillaz's 2005 album of the same name, cementing the virtual band's status as innovators in alternative rock and hip-hop fusion. Produced by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the recording captures the group's signature blend of electronic textures and live instrumentation. The song reflects the darker, more introspective tone that characterized the band's second studio era, moving away from the upbeat energy of their debut. As a key component of their discography, it showcases the collaborative spirit that defines the project, featuring contributions from various guest vocalists and musicians. The track remains a staple in their live performances and continues to resonate with fans for its atmospheric production and emotional depth within the broader context of their musical evolution.
