Gorillaz – Sound Check (Gravity)

• 0
  My Interpretation:During the sample part, I've always heard "fuckin'."
  It's especially clear at the end when it fades off: "fuck fuck fuck fuck....."
  I always assumed this was the reason for the "explicit content" label.
  As for the rest of the sample, I honestly have no idea. None of the other proposed lyrics sound accurate to me. 'transcribe' suggested "I'm gonna rock this rigging." I agree that it kinda sounds like "rigging," but not with the rest of it. The syllables don't really match up.
  
  I guess we'll never truly know..

  General Comment:In the sample section he is saying, "I'm gonna rock this rigging." He is referring to the sound system that they are checking and what he is going to do later in the show.

  General Comment:For the sample, I always hear something like 'Let's want to pop this wagon'
  XD
  I suppose we're not meant to know.
  Perhaps it's just gibberish they mixed so it sounded like it might be words

  My Interpretation:About the sample; I always hear it as "How come the clock is breaking?" just to throw yet another possibility out there

  General Comment:A few things, the actual beginning lyrics are:
  "Gravity, never let me down, gently.
  Gravity, never go, no, no. Gravity."
  
  Next thing. This song, while it has a meaning, tell you the meaning in the name/lyrics. It's just about Gravity. It's stated by 2D that he and Noodles were "sitting on the roof and he just started singing about gravity and how he loves it." Yes, I understand they're not real people; however, all these songs are "wrote" by them, as in Dan writes them but he writes them according to how he believes the characters of the band would.
  
  True story.

  General Comment:I think this song is about gravity and morphine. Well, more or less, being on morphine and feeling gravity. (Your body feels heavier when your on morphine, which always made me think of gravity, more so than I normally would.)

  General Comment:I decided to do some looking into what the sample could be saying.
  
  On one site someone said "I've got no luck at winning."
  
  I manage to hear several different things:
  
  How come nobody's leaving?
  leaking?
  I saw no bodies ---
  
  I can hear all three of these possible solutions. The real thing that is throwing me off is the word at the end that sounds like leaguing/leaving/leaking. Maybe he's saying "I've got no luck at leaving." We may never know.

  General Comment:i think it might be about the fact that 'gravity' is something he really depends on. without 'gravity' he's confused and scared.
