Gorillaz - Tomorrow Comes Today Song Meanings

Lyrics:
Everybody's here with me
(we) Got no camera to see
Don't think I'm not all in this world
The camera won't let me go
And the verdict do...

I think this song has to do with publicity, and the media and how fame has not been kind to many celebrities. "Camera won't let me go." And how he has no choice but to accept his no-privacy career.

It can mean many things but I see it as a "I figured out what I'm going to do with my life" kind of song.

I'd say that it's more like, the world is getting too technological and if we aren't careful we will pay for it when tomorrow becomes today.

Also, I think it may have something to do with the fact that the Gorillaz are cartoon characters and he is saying, "Don't think I'm not in this world" Because there is a person behind the persona, and maybe when he says, "The camera won't let me go" it's because he is just a cartoon and the cartoon persona doesn't exist off camera.

I just realized he smiles throughout (or at least looks smug) this whole song so I pretty much agree with every one so far but I think 2D and the res are mocking us by doing that and having cool poses. Thats because he is assuming that nobody's really listening to the lyrics.

I think you have to view this song as the animated band...I think they are talking about how they want to break out of the animation world and into the real worl. This will happen when the irrational becomes real (tomorrow comes today)

My interuption. "Everybody's here with me (we) Got no camera to see " I believe this means someone's friends before they become famous, such as the Gorillaz recording their first album. "Don't think I'm not all in this world The camera won't let me go" This means the person got caught up in popularity, and they are followed by paparazzi. "And the verdict doesn't love our soul The digital won't let me go" I think this means that people only love you because your famous, and they can't leave the lifestyle easily. "Yeah yeah yeah I'll pay (yeah yeah yeah) When tomorrow Tomorrow comes today" this means he's paying for the actions he made in the future today. "Stereo I want it on It's taken me far too long Don't think I'm not all in this world I don't think I'll be here too long" this means the persons dreams to have a record on CD, or stereo, but it took him too long to make it. Also, one of the creator's has stated that they aren't happy to be making more Gorillaz stuff. he actually stated he was annoyed to be drawing them again. "I don't think i'll be here to long." to me, this means the singer has contemplated leaving, or killing himself to avoid the lifestyle. -Methereaper
