This song is like a virtual hug. Like it’s saying “I know everything sucks right now, it’ll all work out. It’ll be okay.” It’s a weird feeling that I can describe as sad, melancholy, comforting, nostalgic, optimistic, calming, empty, but also complete at the same time. One of my favorites by gorillaz and I’ll forever love it.
It also quite nicely dovetails with the bittersweet music video. Yes, pirates sunk the ship, but Noodles still fought bravely, killed one of the attackers and survived. The band drove off the monster, shooting at him - although he still takes the manatee with him. Nothing is perfect :)
❤ prayers my friend 🙏 it doesn’t get easier I lost my mom 5 years ago. Still hits me like it was yesterday but as time goes on you learn to live with it and cherish the memories and live for those memories. ❤
@@patchedout___3195 I'm pretty sure this style is a bit influenced by Robert Valley, due to the shading the characters have, they look very similar to "ice" for example
I love how active this comment section is, even after 10+ years of this song being out. Really just goes to show how timeless Gorillaz’ songs can be :)
It was mostly a joke, but they have many more animation styles than two. There is multiple animation styles within their 2d and 3d styles. They have almost never kept the exact style. This video includes multiple ones
I got the message as you can save someone with pain to live with it or die from it. Death was killing the seal but they shot at it so it went back in water so it lives but death goes with it.

The painful nostalgia in this is almost unbearable for me. I always remember watching this music video with my Mum, it was around 2010, back when Channel 4 used to premiere new music videos late at night... Me and Mum used to always stay up late together, putting the world to rights. She died in 2014. I miss her every single day. I’m more or less alone now. Don’t have anyone now, really. So yeah, listening to this song always brings that moment back, I’m back with my Mum for just a few moments. It can be a painful listen if I’m not ready for it... it’s weird how music can hold so much.
@@hfszlrahim1189 murdoc ended up building the robot version because noodle dissapeared but she was apparently traveling and russel ended up driving off a cliff into the ocean and ate some radioactive stuff and that's why he grew so big
I once binged watch and listen to their music and i'm hooked until now..so yeah Good for you fella for finding them music so good like anyone here do..
Nearly 14 years later and this song still brings me to tears, it's so nostalgic, romantic, uplifting and well...melancholy. No matter what I think Gorillaz will have a place in my life as a calming reminder of my childhood when things didn't seem as grim.
@That1Th3rian.. the lyrics have a lot of romantic themes to them like "when you can't get what you want but you can get me, so let's set out to sea love, cause you are my medicine when you're close to me"
This song sounds like how it feels to stare into that girls eyes that you really like and just see her eyes absolutely sparkle and know that she’s looking back into your eyes at the same time after being lonely for so long.
Listening to this at 11:11 on the last day of 2019 and it's making me remember good and bad moments of this year, I hope 2020 is great for all of you who read this.
i’m probably going through the most confusing time of my life right now, i’ve discovered more about myself in the last 2 months than i have in the last 5 years because of a girl, my parents’ divorce has gotten really bad and i could end up homeless for a time, my friends hardly make any effort to maintain any semblance of friendship and yet, somehow, i know that i’ll be okay. music is one of the only things that helps my head slow down and this song is up there w the ones that help the most.
Gorillaz are one of the greatest bands in music history because they aren't afraid to experiment with so many different genres, animation styles, outfits, stories, and even characters, I think it's part of what makes them such a perfect band
I honestly think they were not afraid because thats how they started and we got used to all these genres from them unlike other artists who focus on one genre that we got used to hear from then for then for them to change it. The fans would be shoked and angry mabye,some might like it though because they got used to one kind of song
Gorillaz haven't aged a bit. Watching this in 2019 feels the same as always whenever I watch these again and again. It's like a trip to memory lane but you don't get sick of it. Take Note : Don't worry. This will never get old. It's a classic. Take Note(2): It's been two years and many things changed. I love it. My life is sort of grim but I can't lose my bits I can't stop and help myself that music keeps my mind in check. Take Note(3): 3 years? Wow. Time flies by and some cool dude in the replies named Smith recommended me a great band to jam on. Still checking more out.
@@TheRealColBosch The one in the car is Cyborg Noodle. Murdoc made her as a replacement for the real Noodle after essentially setting up an old acquaintance to die in the El Manana video. He supplied Noodle with a parachute but she got separated after and they all thought she died. Turns out she survived. Butterfly mask Noodle is the real Noodle in this vid. Edit: Dont English good
it took me years to notice this but that is neither the real noodle, nor is it a real tommy gun. first off tommy guns aren't ambidextrous, what this means is that they will only ever eject empty cases to the right, never to the left. this also isn't the real noodle because noodle is right handed, the girl with the mask is holding the gun left handed.
@@windhelmguard5295 Or that particular section of the animation got mirrored for production reasons or in oversight. Seems the more likely explanation.
I originally thought the gun was a PPsh 41 but looking at it now it has a Thomson foregrip and doesn't have the barrel/muzzle of a papasha. Also someone animated the storyboard and it was totally approved of by the gorillaz with a "👊"
Hey Gorillaz fans! I have just released my first album CRASTI LAND and since Gorillaz are among my biggest inspirations, I thought I might share the news with fellow fans :) I have worked really hard on this record and I would appreciate every single listen and review, thank you! Have a great day!
My friends: “who do you have a crush on” Me: “ Cyborg Noodle (2009-2016, reactivated on 2018-) is a robotic replica of Noodle that served as a replacement of her during the third phase of the band. Cyborg Noodle was created by Murdoc Niccals on Plastic Beach from using the real Noodle's DNA samples he gathered from the crash site where the "El Mañana" music video was filmed. This robot clone was given the job of playing the guitar on the "Plastic Beach" album as well as being Murdoc's personal bodyguard. In the music video for the single, "Stylo", Murdoc, 2-D, and Cyborg Noodle were pursued by a law enforcement agent for speeding on an open highway in the Stylo Camaro belonging to Murdoc. Suffering from the bullet hole in her head, Cyborg Noodle became incapacitated with oil coming out after firing several shotgun shells at the police officer's vehicle. The trio were then pursued by an unknown bounty hunter (Bruce Willis) armed with a revolver who lost track of the three when they dive into the Pacific Ocean. Upon their descent into the ocean, Stylo transformed into a shark-like submarine. In the music video for the "On Melancholy Hill" single, Cyborg Noodle regained consciousness inside of the submarine. Upon regaining consciousness, she regurgitated an unusual one-eyed octopus. While the submarine continued its voyage to Plastic Beach, the trio engaged in a rendezvous with the band's collaborators who were also piloting submarines of their own individual design. Upon their arrival at Plastic Beach, the fleet encountered a mysterious assailant known as the Boogieman who was blocking the fleet's route to the studio with a manatee as a hostage. Murdoc, seemingly surprised to see the Boogieman, then ordered Cyborg Noodle to dispose of him with hostile force. The trio then climbed topside where Cyborg Noodle commenced her attack on the Boogieman. After firing two consecutive solid slug shells with her Remington 870, the Boogieman dragged the manatee into the sea and the fog cleared, revealing Plastic Beach. In the storyboard and Fan Made video for the "Rhinestone Eyes" video she is seen shooting at the Boogieman who appears attacking Plastic Beach. She then runs to get more guns and ammo. She is then shown blowing up the door and taking cover behind a tree. Later, on near the end of the video, the now giant Russel comes out of the sea and stares at Cyborg Noodle. Then the real Noodle steps out of Russel's mouth. Cyborg Noodle looks shocked, while the real Noodle pulls off her cat mask showing the bruise on her eye caused by the attack at El Manana. Noodle stares at Cyborg Noodle while the video ends. Although a showdown against Noodle and Cyborg Noodle was never shown it's said in an interview with Murdoc that Noodle killed the cyborg when it started going "wonky" (or she malfunctioned) and tried to kill Murdoc. This was later revealed to be a lie on Murdoc's part, as the Book of Murdoc notes that Cyborg joined Murdoc in his escape, serving as a perfect shipmate on the submarine. My friends: “what the fu-“
Fun Fact: this is probably the best video on TH-cam in 2010 with quality seriously everything in 2010 TH-cam was Minecraft and 144p slideshows. Good Times
1:23 so interesting how 2D is just solemnly watching over robo noodle. Also the way he cowers away after the squid emerges is adorably sweet, i just wanna hug him.
My 20 year old son loves Gorillaz as much as I do. He went to their concert in Detroit last night and he knows this is my favorite Gorillaz song. His seats were right behind the barricades so when they started playing this, he video called me so I could see them perform in live. It was so amazing and sweet of my son ❣️ hopefully one day, I'll get to go see them in concert myself.
@@Z0RD. As we see all through out Gorillaz lore, music videos, etc, we see that Murdoc has always overpowered 2d, belittling him to the point of no longer feeling happy or confident of himself.
@@Z0RD. It could be the art style choice for this album, showing him at his lowest point being at his lowest height (rim shot, please.) It was probably significant toward how Jamie Hewlett felt 2d would feel, and with his cartoonish art style conveyed that emotion in physical form. But thats just my theory
(spellcastermaster) It's a sad song Melancholy means sad. (to an extent) and we aren't emo just because we have basic human emotions and are capable of crying
I've first heard this song 11 years ago and I immediately showed it to my family, specially to my mother and we loved it so much... Just one month after she passed away in a hospital... Years passed and I couldn't even hear this song completely without falling in tears sobbing a lot, the last bell ring reminded me she passed away, every time. Now, 11 years later, I still miss so much my mother, I can't even describe it. But I think I've started to heal because now this song makes me remember her being happy and I'm able to hear it from start to finish, in tears but with a smile. Thanks Gorillaz for this amazing, melancholy, beautiful peace of art!
This song holds a special place in my heart. This is on repeat during the hardest months of my college life; pulling all nighters making my architectural thesis. There I am in my room having breakdowns for weeks and wondering whether I am good or even enough to graduate in college and to navigate this world. Thankfully this song calms me and gives a comforting, cozy vibe. Like a firefly in your hand glowing when every light in your world dimmed out, this song was my torch. I would've probably quit at that point if I didn't stumbled on this song. These may all sound dramatic but its true ahaha. I successfully passed my thesis and graduated last year. And this year I got my first job and am now getting closer to one of my dreams. So I thank you for creating this song; it gave me hope and will, still.
Your description of architecture school’s brutality is so accurate. They don’t call it architorture for nothing. I too thought many times that I’d never make it. Then I thought the same in early career and it didn’t help that the recession recovery was still slow in 2013. I found a rare niche in the industry that is a good fit for me and pays better than I ever imagined but it took 10 years to get there. 4x starting pay and no plans for licensure
Felicidades amigo, todo sacrificio trae consigo la recompensa. Que bonito que esa sea la canción de aquellos recuerdos que te hicieron crecer como persona, todo lo bueno para ti.
Lyrics Up on Melancholy Hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day Of another dream Well you can't get what you want But you can get me So let's set out to sea, love 'Cause you are my medicine When you're close to me When you're close to me So call in the submarines 'Round the world we'll go Does anybody know, love If we're looking out on the day Of another dream? If you can't get what you want Then come with me Up on Melancholy Hill Sits a manatee Just looking out for the day When you're close to me When you're close to me When you're close to me
Es fuerte porque siento que reflejo mucho mi propia necesidad de consumismo y compras pero a la vez no tengo dinero, y por más que trabajo y trabajo en varias cosas a la vez al final del mes no me da ni para salir un ratito. Y de alguna forma no-tan-inconciente solo quiero que alguien me abrace y me diga que todo estará bien, que puedo solo dejar toda esta presión por alcanzar mi objetivo deslizarse un rato Vivir en Venezuela es difícil y luchar día a día por conseguir el dinero para cualquier cosa se siente como transportar agüita en las manos mientras corres en arena. Está canción me hace sentir como si alguien algún día verdaderamente fuera a estar ahí para mí y decirme que todo está bien, o más importante, hacerme sentir como si todo fuera a estar bien
Mi hijo fue un gran fan de esta banda a pesar de tener solo siete años esta canción en especial me recuerda a él, él murió hace un año por culpa del Cáncer ojalá la hubiera escuchado en vivo te amo Jeremih
@@jonasbogao521 no hes not?, what better place could be with his family surroundeds by those who love him?. I feel sad for him and his family but useless comments like this saying hes in a better place are just fucking ridiculous
lol yes. one day my mom said "hey is that gorillaz" and i was so shocked. she doesn't usually listen to anything remotely similar to anything gorillaz has made
Noodle: secret Japanese experiment to make the ultimate fighting machine. Russel: Witnessed all his friends die in a shooting and was possessed by the ghost of his best friend. Murdock: Sold his own and his band mates souls to become a popular band. 2-D: Just has fully black eyes
He has 8ball fractures in his eyes. He's legally blind because of them. The reason his eyes are black is because so much blood filled them when he got the 8ball fractures.

day 3 of 2020, WWIII is trending and tensions between the US and Iran are rising.
They're storming the embassy
Boy do I sure love World War 3 memes
It's not going so good 😔
Day 10 of 2020, Australia is still on fire and ww||| might happen
Jesus I love all the different animation techniques together in the same video.

I’ve never heard this song and for some reason I feel nostalgic.
Oh hi osama how are you?
Bomb asf music yeah?
@@joshuaalampay3783 better than modern day rap
this song hits different tbh
Nostalgic....or Melancholic?
i’m probably going through the most confusing time of my life right now, i’ve discovered more about myself in the last 2 months than i have in the last 5 years because of a girl, my parents’ divorce has gotten really bad and i could end up homeless for a time, my friends hardly make any effort to maintain any semblance of friendship and yet, somehow, i know that i’ll be okay. music is one of the only things that helps my head slow down and this song is up there w the ones that help the most.
Yes hon, you will be ok. 🫶
Hey, how are you doing? I hope you're well and doing much better❤
Gorillaz are one of the greatest bands in music history because they aren't afraid to experiment with so many different genres, animation styles, outfits, stories, and even characters, I think it's part of what makes them such a perfect band
facts
Weirdcore
I honestly think they were not afraid because thats how they started and we got used to all these genres from them unlike other artists who focus on one genre that we got used to hear from then for then for them to change it. The fans would be shoked and angry mabye,some might like it though because they got used to one kind of song
@@viktor_dumi I agree
That's how I aspire to be like, never confined to one genre

Gorillaz haven't aged a bit. Watching this in 2019 feels the same as always whenever I watch these again and again. It's like a trip to memory lane but you don't get sick of it.
Take Note : Don't worry. This will never get old. It's a classic.
Take Note(2): It's been two years and many things changed. I love it. My life is sort of grim but I can't lose my bits I can't stop and help myself that music keeps my mind in check.
Take Note(3): 3 years? Wow. Time flies by and some cool dude in the replies named Smith recommended me a great band to jam on. Still checking more out.
True
Yes! Classic!
I agree
it really isn't anything you could ever get sick of
Yeah
I want this song to be played at both my wedding and my funeral
this exactly
Wow !
This made me cry god damn it
You're not going to have a wedding
@@wilsu it’s funny cause it’s true
"so is this song meant to be happy or sad?"
gorillaz: *yes*
Well, it has a happy undertone, but it is called "on melancholy hill", with a little bit of a sad tune, so I'm gonna say sad
the unusual yeah no one cares

Noodle was only 19 and she was already shooting down planes with a Thompson.
Hopefully she's improved her aim with a shotgun since then.
@@TheRealColBosch that was the robot noodle, story is confusing af but the one with the shot gun is not the real noodle lol
@@TheRealColBosch The one in the car is Cyborg Noodle. Murdoc made her as a replacement for the real Noodle after essentially setting up an old acquaintance to die in the El Manana video. He supplied Noodle with a parachute but she got separated after and they all thought she died. Turns out she survived. Butterfly mask Noodle is the real Noodle in this vid.
Edit: Dont English good
@@ImGazu I actually read she went straight into hell
Noodle has many skills one of which is kicking absolute ass
Song: calm, bittersweet vibes
Music video: Noodle shooting down an F4U with a tommy gun
it took me years to notice this but that is neither the real noodle, nor is it a real tommy gun.
first off tommy guns aren't ambidextrous, what this means is that they will only ever eject empty cases to the right, never to the left.
this also isn't the real noodle because noodle is right handed, the girl with the mask is holding the gun left handed.
Jorgefango 5479 games and more or the animated one
@@windhelmguard5295 Or that particular section of the animation got mirrored for production reasons or in oversight. Seems the more likely explanation.
Well it may be a F4U but it appears to have the control yoke of a P38
I originally thought the gun was a PPsh 41 but looking at it now it has a Thomson foregrip and doesn't have the barrel/muzzle of a papasha.
Also someone animated the storyboard and it was totally approved of by the gorillaz with a "👊"
How can a song make you feel so heartbroken and full of pure joy at the same time?! My favorite Gorillaz song
That feeling my friend is melancholy
They outdid themselves.

Hey Gorillaz fans! I have just released my first album CRASTI LAND and since Gorillaz are among my biggest inspirations, I thought I might share the news with fellow fans :) I have worked really hard on this record and I would appreciate every single listen and review, thank you! Have a great day!
@@crastipeter Neat! I might check it out :)

Does anyone feel like they have heard this song before like thousands of times but really haven’t?
Yes wtf. And I just heard this song for the first time.
Power of music
Omg i feel the same!
Its called de javu
No
this song makes me feel like i lost something that was never even a part of me
That’s a great quote in general
Why this comment got me fucked up like
Hence the name, the word melancholy means to be sad without a cause or not knowing why
This comment made me cry for some reason very melancholy
Something you listen to driving on highway 1 before running off the road into the sea below.
My friends: “who do you have a crush on”
Me: “ Cyborg Noodle (2009-2016, reactivated on 2018-) is a robotic replica of Noodle that served as a replacement of her during the third phase of the band. Cyborg Noodle was created by Murdoc Niccals on Plastic Beach from using the real Noodle's DNA samples he gathered from the crash site where the "El Mañana" music video was filmed. This robot clone was given the job of playing the guitar on the "Plastic Beach" album as well as being Murdoc's personal bodyguard. In the music video for the single, "Stylo", Murdoc, 2-D, and Cyborg Noodle were pursued by a law enforcement agent for speeding on an open highway in the Stylo Camaro belonging to Murdoc. Suffering from the bullet hole in her head, Cyborg Noodle became incapacitated with oil coming out after firing several shotgun shells at the police officer's vehicle. The trio were then pursued by an unknown bounty hunter (Bruce Willis) armed with a revolver who lost track of the three when they dive into the Pacific Ocean. Upon their descent into the ocean, Stylo transformed into a shark-like submarine. In the music video for the "On Melancholy Hill" single, Cyborg Noodle regained consciousness inside of the submarine. Upon regaining consciousness, she regurgitated an unusual one-eyed octopus. While the submarine continued its voyage to Plastic Beach, the trio engaged in a rendezvous with the band's collaborators who were also piloting submarines of their own individual design. Upon their arrival at Plastic Beach, the fleet encountered a mysterious assailant known as the Boogieman who was blocking the fleet's route to the studio with a manatee as a hostage. Murdoc, seemingly surprised to see the Boogieman, then ordered Cyborg Noodle to dispose of him with hostile force. The trio then climbed topside where Cyborg Noodle commenced her attack on the Boogieman. After firing two consecutive solid slug shells with her Remington 870, the Boogieman dragged the manatee into the sea and the fog cleared, revealing Plastic Beach. In the storyboard and Fan Made video for the "Rhinestone Eyes" video she is seen shooting at the Boogieman who appears attacking Plastic Beach. She then runs to get more guns and ammo. She is then shown blowing up the door and taking cover behind a tree. Later, on near the end of the video, the now giant Russel comes out of the sea and stares at Cyborg Noodle. Then the real Noodle steps out of Russel's mouth. Cyborg Noodle looks shocked, while the real Noodle pulls off her cat mask showing the bruise on her eye caused by the attack at El Manana. Noodle stares at Cyborg Noodle while the video ends.
Although a showdown against Noodle and Cyborg Noodle was never shown it's said in an interview with Murdoc that Noodle killed the cyborg when it started going "wonky" (or she malfunctioned) and tried to kill Murdoc. This was later revealed to be a lie on Murdoc's part, as the Book of Murdoc notes that Cyborg joined Murdoc in his escape, serving as a perfect shipmate on the submarine.

My 20 year old son loves Gorillaz as much as I do. He went to their concert in Detroit last night and he knows this is my favorite Gorillaz song. His seats were right behind the barricades so when they started playing this, he video called me so I could see them perform in live. It was so amazing and sweet of my son ❣️ hopefully one day, I'll get to go see them in concert myself.
So wholesome
That was so sweet!. My son and I were also at the Detroit show, on the floor, and it was magical.

I like this song.
Probably emphasizing on his self confidence
@@Z0RD. As we see all through out Gorillaz lore, music videos, etc, we see that Murdoc has always overpowered 2d, belittling him to the point of no longer feeling happy or confident of himself.
Humongous Preposterous pickle roast beef sandwiches with propane sauce.
@@Z0RD. It could be the art style choice for this album, showing him at his lowest point being at his lowest height (rim shot, please.) It was probably significant toward how Jamie Hewlett felt 2d would feel, and with his cartoonish art style conveyed that emotion in physical form. But thats just my theory
Blue mask I hope you don’t think humongous and preposterous are big words dude, that’s like a middle schoolers vocabulary.
Honestly,this is the most beautiful song i`ve ever heard in my entire life.
In acoustics is more cute
kiothy, do you have twitter? i want a gorillaz fan as my friend lol i dont really have a gorillaz fan
Yup,it`s @Kiothy_ but don´t be surprised of not beeing able to read my tweets,i am german,so i mostly tweet in german ^^
thanks! :)

This song has a very distinct “Where did all the good days go?” vibe about it. Really tugs at the heartstrings
Honestly
It is about sadness
Dec 31 11:29 pm 2024! Right here, right now! This is one of my favorite Gorillaz! Happy New Year
Let's just say the song lives up to its name, the melancholiness is making my pillow damp...
Aurelia Hanford the melancholyness is making my meme dank
Saket Manolkar
Ugh.
Aurelia Hanford it's supposed to be a fucking happy song not a excuse for you to cry because you are emo
To me it's bittersweet; could be comforting tears.
It's a very emotive song either way.
(spellcastermaster)
It's a sad song
Melancholy means sad. (to an extent)
and we aren't emo just because we have basic human emotions and are capable of crying
This song brings back memories
True that...
this is a song to have your first kiss to XD
Accurate af
***** Good for you
Marcelo Lima bad for you
I've first heard this song 11 years ago and I immediately showed it to my family, specially to my mother and we loved it so much...
Just one month after she passed away in a hospital...
Years passed and I couldn't even hear this song completely without falling in tears sobbing a lot, the last bell ring reminded me she passed away, every time.
Now, 11 years later, I still miss so much my mother, I can't even describe it. But I think I've started to heal because now this song makes me remember her being happy and I'm able to hear it from start to finish, in tears but with a smile.
Thanks Gorillaz for this amazing, melancholy, beautiful peace of art!
Take care bro, God Bless you, sending a hug
🫂 thanks bro, God bless u too!
God bless you bro
Sorry to hear that I'm here with you

This song holds a special place in my heart. This is on repeat during the hardest months of my college life; pulling all nighters making my architectural thesis. There I am in my room having breakdowns for weeks and wondering whether I am good or even enough to graduate in college and to navigate this world. Thankfully this song calms me and gives a comforting, cozy vibe. Like a firefly in your hand glowing when every light in your world dimmed out, this song was my torch. I would've probably quit at that point if I didn't stumbled on this song. These may all sound dramatic but its true ahaha. I successfully passed my thesis and graduated last year. And this year I got my first job and am now getting closer to one of my dreams. So I thank you for creating this song; it gave me hope and will, still.
Your description of architecture school’s brutality is so accurate. They don’t call it architorture for nothing. I too thought many times that I’d never make it. Then I thought the same in early career and it didn’t help that the recession recovery was still slow in 2013. I found a rare niche in the industry that is a good fit for me and pays better than I ever imagined but it took 10 years to get there. 4x starting pay and no plans for licensure
Felicidades amigo, todo sacrificio trae consigo la recompensa. Que bonito que esa sea la canción de aquellos recuerdos que te hicieron crecer como persona, todo lo bueno para ti.
I need to apply myself like you i want to live my dreams to i want to have dreams
will also be taking my architectural thesis next year, thanks for the tips, will definitely go back here just to listen to this song 😀

Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
So call in the submarines
'Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know, love
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream?
If you can't get what you want
Then come with me
Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
U probably just discovered this band didn't u

Es fuerte porque siento que reflejo mucho mi propia necesidad de consumismo y compras pero a la vez no tengo dinero, y por más que trabajo y trabajo en varias cosas a la vez al final del mes no me da ni para salir un ratito. Y de alguna forma no-tan-inconciente solo quiero que alguien me abrace y me diga que todo estará bien, que puedo solo dejar toda esta presión por alcanzar mi objetivo deslizarse un rato
Vivir en Venezuela es difícil y luchar día a día por conseguir el dinero para cualquier cosa se siente como transportar agüita en las manos mientras corres en arena. Está canción me hace sentir como si alguien algún día verdaderamente fuera a estar ahí para mí y decirme que todo está bien, o más importante, hacerme sentir como si todo fuera a estar bien

murdoc's nipples isn't that girl named 3-D
if you're talking about the one with the mask in the beginning, you're wrong. she's called noodle.
Noodle: secret Japanese experiment to make the ultimate fighting machine. Russel: Witnessed all his friends die in a shooting and was possessed by the ghost of his best friend. Murdock: Sold his own and his band mates souls to become a popular band. 2-D: Just has fully black eyes
Pretty much, lol
Nope
I mean, he _did_ get them from Murdoc being an asshole.
2D lost his eyes
He has 8ball fractures in his eyes. He's legally blind because of them. The reason his eyes are black is because so much blood filled them when he got the 8ball fractures.
