ANALYZING THE LYRICS OF DEMON DAYS, PT 1., INTRO

Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
Who put the chemicals in the food chain
You are now entering
The harmonic door...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like "Intro" was made to make you feel isolated for the beginning of the album. Whilst at the other end, with "Demon Days" you were supposed to feel complete harmony (hence the, "You are now entering the harmonic door"). Intro sort of starts the trip, allows you to ease into the album rather than just throwing you head first into the music.

And hence the title, Intro, it just sort of slowly introduces you to the themes of the album. Isolation, the world is going downhill, it's like a depressive view on the real world, before they "enter the harmonic door". It's an annoying voice displeased with "the chemicals in the food chain", because today, the world has issues. A lot of issues, and everyone's complaining about them, but still not really not doing anything about them.

Then we enter the harmonic door and the album/journey begins.

ANALYZING THE LYRICS OF DEMON DAYS, PT 2., LAST LIVING SOULS

Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Take a gun
Or how you say
That's no way
To behave
But just as long you need the gear
So sing a song that doesn't sin
It grows
Hey, you know
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last to get away
To some another day
Or do we know
Well we know
Doesn't seem to be complete
Are we
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Are we the last living souls
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
'Cause all out of song
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get
An all-seeing door now
Can you take us in
The part that comin' on
The coldest man doesn't see it all
We go to the car
I see you walk into the fog
But when you get there, what do you see
You see the last, it's you and me
'Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls

ANALYZING THE LYRICS OF DEMON DAYS, PT 2., LAST LIVING SOULS (CONTINUED, I couldn't fit it all in one comment.)

I think this is going with the theme of isolation, as I said yesterday with Intro. But rather than just being the last two people on earth, I think it means people aren't living their lives naturally anymore.
We begin with the question, "Are we the last living souls?"
And that's an amazing question.
We probably are.

The world is full of crime. Damon Albarn (Voice of 2-D, the lead singer of Gorillaz), brings up a gun as an example.
"That's no way / To behave," he sings as a comment on it all.

"Sing a song, that doesn't sin", is probably a metaphor saying not to live a life that's a lie.
As for the repeat of "Get up" towards the middle of the song, it's telling you to get up. Do something with your life. Stop staring at that screen of yours. Learn how to love.

"The coldest man doesn't see it all," probably means we have no idea what we're doing to the world. But once again, back to yesterday's analysis of Intro, the world is going downhill because of us. We complain about it, and yet, do nothing.
With each generation of humans comes less and less love, and more and more sin.
And the ending of the song confirms what was asked in the beginning lines.

"'Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls"

This whole album is a journey through a world gone wrong, almost a dystopian society, even, and this song is the perfect way to begin when it comes to the question, "Why?"

Note: Thinking on this, we are already living in a dystopian society. The world has gone wrong. Thanks to my English class and this album, I've realized that.
