Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood

  General Comment:It's about hearing your inner voice, the source, God, the devil, whatever you want -for the first time. He's reached the feeling of complete uselessness e.g. ego death and now can hear his inner voice. His inner voice actually has a personality for the sake of verses that explain what it actually is.
  
  The first part of verse one is saying, 'It was eventual so the wait was nothing to me,' 'yes, I'm real. Don't be afraid. I can straighten you out if you listen to me.'

  General Comment:clint eastwood the actor in a movie sad i have sunshine in a bag, representing money, he has wealth and still isnt happy.
  
  Its about spirits and spirits interacting with humans, sensations is a key word.
  i aint counting no age, in the astral reality, which is also in our waking reality but most unable to see it, there are entities, these entities can interact with humans, sucking there energy in order to survive, because they are unable to get energy through divine. And i love the word guide, it reminds me of how we all have spiritual gaurdians, that live in higher realms and watch our lives and try to teach us lessons, and also are there to heal each and everyone of us. So when he says guide, and sensations my conclusions is either its a spiritual gaurdian contacting them, in an unordinary, like iin cg grof book spiritual awakenings, or its about astral entities that are connected to the human being, and actually sucking there energy and taking there life force of there being away from them in order to survive in their reality.

  General Comment:It's about the future 2013, and this fucking enterprise is USA. You don't see with your eye. Look on the back of a dollar to see who he's talking about. Stay true all who belong to Jesus. Sunshine in a bag is the illluminati and sun worshippers, after you have seen their plans, at which time God will disclose to you. You will have them beat cause you were shown the truth by God himself, and chose to make them look foolish in their worldly wisdom, by the awakining.

  General Comment:It's about awakening the true Self. Do some research on Youtube, the ideas and concepts line up perfectly.

  My Opinion:This is a song referencing awakening the self. You all aren't ready for the truth if you think this song is just about drugs or a simple reference to a Clint Eastwood movie. Sigh.

  My Opinion:don't know why but it made a lot of more sense to me when i thought he was saying "i don't belong to future"

  Song Meaning:This song is not about drugs. I liked this song for a long time before i knew what it was really about. The sunshine in the bag means the soul inside your body, which is what we really are. i know this because one day as i was driving my car from work i got hit by something, a thunderbolt of sunshine as described by the gorillaz in the song "stylo", in one second my whole life flashed before my eyes and i was shown what the universe is. This song is like an instructional video for people who have gone through this experience. Im not happy but im feeling glad because God knows that i exist and he cares about me so much that he gave me this wisdom. time for me is nothing cus im counting no age- hes talking about the fact that in that moment i realized that i have lived many lives, some as a human being some as animals but our souls are very old. Now I couldn't be there
  Now you shouldn't be scared
  i also saw my true body that sleeps somewhere in the center of the universe, until im wise enough to wake up, what we truly are is such a perfect being that we must achieve perfect wisdom before opening our eyes.
  pick and choose sit and loose all your different crews
  who can you tell this to, who is ready to know?
  Rhythm
  You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
  I'm in them
  Every sprouting tree
  Every child apiece
  Every cloud you see
  After this experience my life changed, all my fears dissapeared and when you go through life with no fears or regrets you flow through it, its almost as if your dancing instead of walking, and life opens up for you in amazing ways.
  You see with your eyes
  I see destruction and demise
  Corruption in disguise
  From this fuckin' enterprise
  Now I'm sucking to your lies
  here hes talking about lies, we are all supposed to go through this experience, this is what life is about, its about you waking up realizing that we are all connected to the source that we are all the same that we are all immortal light beings that your goverment and most organized religions do not want you to wake up because the people at the top chose the wrong side and decided to exploit us and they do not want us knowing this,because the truth will set us free.
  So you can survive when law is lawless
  after reading the top you already know that this is talking about. Damn right i'm an outlaw, only god can judge me.
  
  Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
  No squealing, remember
  (That it's all in your head)
  It could all be in my head but im not the only one who has experienced this, the information is out there you only need to look for it.

    i just heard clint eastwood the other day and i had the SAME exact revelation. as i was listening to the lyrics i realized that Gorillaz are talking about awakening from the illusion of past and the future and living in the present. i love your insight osiris1111. i immediately went to look up the meaning of the song because i felt that i couldn't be the only one to hear the meaning behind the song. great job! and i made a stupid account on here just so i could reply to you!

    its not all about drugs but the first verse is. i aint happy im feeling glad, thats how it feels to be coming down but recently have gotten more drugs in this case cocaine, then he says im useless but not for long then you audibly hear someone snort a line and he says finally someone let me out of my cage, the soul you mentioned is the person that comes out once hes done drus. but thats myy opinion

  General Comment:the song is all about lsd and the essentials of an lsd trip. the sunshine is the marijuana that someone is gonna smoke while they tripping. just listen to the lyrics. if you have ever done acid, time when youre tripping just isnt what it normally is. perception of time is totally different. "time for me is nothing cuz im counting no age...", "panoramic view", then just listen to the last couple of words of the second verse... its about lsd.

    So close. It's definitely about a psychedelic drug, but it's dmt rather than lsd.

  General Comment:the chorus is actually a reference to a Clint Eastwood movie "the good the bad and the other"
  
  Kid: Hey Mister where ya heading?
  Clint: Don't know
  Kid: You gonna be alright
  Clint: Yeah Kid, I got sunshine in a bag.
  
  this refers to gold he has in his bag, hence also the title.
  
  the more you know.

    Ummm, no.
    
    Firstly, the movie is called "The good, the bad & the ugly", not "the other".
    
    Secondly, those words are never spoken in that movie. In fact, I've watched all of Clint Eastwood's westerns and I am almost 100% sure that he doesn't say anything like that in any of his westerns.
    
    I am 100% sure however that, even if he does say it in one of his movies, it is NOT from the good, the bad & the ugly. It's one of my favourite movies & I've seen it dozens of times. Nowhere in it is there any mention of "sunshine in a bag" although, you are correct that he rides off with gold in a bag at the end. Actually, he rides off with $100,000 worth of gold in 4 bags if you want to get picky about it.
