Oil Lyrics
Oil Song Lyrics
Then I put my codes in the machine
But the world I found was made of faulty dreams (Of faulty dreams)
I was on my own there in the psychic silence
I was looking out for some other kite to
Fly out of the doldrums and recall the log
From the early database of your love
Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote
Interlocking cluster bombs
Like drum and bass, I thought
Close the wells of poison
Fill them up with love
I was on my own there
I was all alone
I got lost, intangible
But that's the place you reach when
You can't help yourself anymore
And the madness come
You'll be falling into the bass and drum (Bass and drum)
Fairy light companions
To the dark maths that catapult
Us into imagined worlds
Seems a mockery remote
'Cause I got no choice in it
And I'm not so cold
I could look you in the eye
And not recall (And not recall)
Don't think that my heart is a sad affair without you
Individual actions change the world
Fill them up with love

"Oil" by Gorillaz, featuring Stevie Nicks, delves into themes of loneliness, isolation, and the yearning for genuine connection in a world overshadowed by technological alienation and false realities. The song paints a vivid picture of a protahonist lost in a fabricated world, longing for love and companionship that transcends the superficial layers of societal norms. It speaks to the disconnection and disillusionment faced by individuals navigating through an era where digital and social media often distort human relationships and interactions.The lyrics suggest a journey of searching for something real among the illussions, highlighting the challenges of finding meaningful connections. Phrases like "Fly out of the doldrums and recall the log from the early database of your love" imply a desire to revisit or discover a love that is true and profound, untainted by the complexities of modern life. The song also carries a message of hope and the power of love to transcend the darkness, as indicated by the call to "Fill them up with love," urging listeners to combat negativity and embrace empathy and connection.
"Oil" effectively combines Gorillaz's distinctive musical style with the legendary voice of Stevie Nicks, creating a haunting yet beautiful exploration of the human condition in the 21st century. The collaboration emphasizes the need for love and understanding in a time of widespread cynicism and detachment.
