To the dark dark seas
Comes the only whale
Watching ships go by
It's the day we try
It doesn't know
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speech
It's automated computer speech
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio
If they hold you, whale
On a really hot day
When the call got made
You've gone away
It doesn't know
Its a Casio on a plastic beach
Its a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speech
It's automated computer speech
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio
Comes the only whale
Watching ships go by
It's the day we try
It doesn't know
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speech
It's automated computer speech
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio
If they hold you, whale
On a really hot day
When the call got made
You've gone away
It doesn't know
Its a Casio on a plastic beach
Its a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's a Styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speech
It's automated computer speech
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio

"It's a Casio on a plastic beach (x2)
It's a Styrofoam deepsea landfill (x2)
It an automated computer speech (x2)
It's a Casio on a plastic beach
It's a Casio"
a Casio is 2-D, seeing as though he plays keyboard.
He is locked in a room that is underwater, next to a styrofoam deepsea landfill
an automated computer speech, freaks him out
"It's a Casio on a Plastic Beach"
It's electric, digital, like the watches Casio use to make.
"It's a Styrofoam deep-sea landfill"
Basically it's just a dump, and the people were lied to, it was suppose to be their last refuge.
"Its automated computer speech"
The electric life (The voice from some kind of nature, or the woman singer in empire of ants, who i will call Stylo), sent them there, where the human race will end.
In To Binge, You hear 2D's voice, the voice of human nature, knowing he made a mistake.
Picture bright-colored pantomes, making up an image in your head of a sea adventure to save a depressed manatee, millions of cute cartoon jellyfish schooling underneath you as your favorite childhood submarine that you used to play with in the bathtub is now blown up to scale. Close your eyes and let the tunes paint a picture in your head.
And yeah, I instantly saw this Casio as an oldskool little sampling keyboard. Something simple/humble, but with potential to create good art.
Is the daily trial"
"Did they haul you out
On a really hot day
When the call got made
You had gone away"
^^^^^About Noodle?
"It's a casio
Casio
Casio
(?) Green green glow"
I think it has something to do with the actual meaning of this.
Also, artists don't always say exactly what they mean
if you look at Andy Warhol for example everything he said about his art was sarcastic and mocking of his true ideals
perhaps you're judging Gorillaz too quick saying there's no environmental concern
when you think about it, Gorillaz are a set of characters meant to show a point
they aren't precisely the point and shouldn't have a literal meaning
So maybe Albarn did say that, what did he mean though?
