LYRICS

Stop cos you’re killing me,
You brought me back and made me feel free,
Rowdy waves and your energy
You pulled me fragile from the wreckage

I got so lost here,
Machine assisted I disappear
To a dream you don’t want to hear
How I got caught up in nowhere again (oh)

It feels like I’ve been silent running (silent running)
Through the infinite pages I scroll out searching,
For a new world,
Waits on the sunrise.

I’m silent running,
Run run running,
run run running,
run run running,
run run running, (il be)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (silent running)
run run running, (oooh)

(ooooh) (aaaaah)

Stop or you’ll make me cry, (make me cry)
I think it’s time that I decided (I decide)
what I’ve done when I trip and fly (trip and fly)
and where it’s taking me, (taking me)
There’s no way out of here (no way out)
in the labyrinth I disappear (no one here)
to the dark fleets that got me here, (underground)
I got caught up in nowhere again,

It feels like I’ve been silent running, (silent running)
Through the infinite pages I scroll out searching,
For a new world, (trip and fly)
Waits on the sunrise,

Silent running (Silent running)
(Silent running)
(Silent running)
(ohh)

I’m silent running
No way out
Il be (aah)
back to you, (trip and fly)
back to you,

I’m silent running
Run run running, (oh)
run run running,
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (il be)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running

(Make me cry)
Memories of triumph
(I decide)
This is the season of madness
(Trip and fly)
(Taking me)
(oooh)
(oooh)

[Gorillaz]

FYI that little green bottle was Essence of Murdoc, my new signature scent

[Gorillaz]

Gotta say I enjoyed watching Noodle put the smackdown on those cult goons – what was your best bit?

[Gorillaz]

It's me! Murdoc. Bloody hell, got a bit tense back there didn’t it?

[Gorillaz]

Stick around after the action for some top level bantz with me, Murdoc F Niccals. Shoot me your questions down in the comments - or if you just wanna tell me how great I am that's fine too... Laters!

[Arlosdarkcloset]

I love how Murdoc is half of the comments section

[Gorillaz]

Writing this in back of patrol car, handcuffs bit tight…

[Gorillaz]

Did you like it when I trounced that demon? All part of my masterplan…

[dooftheduke]

1:34 The lady was like "Crap we can't kill him or else the Gorillaz can't make anymore bangers"

[Gorillaz]

Those Forever goons not my cup of tea, but I love what they did with that underground lair

[Gorillaz]

Anyone know how many times I’ve saved 2D now? Lost count to be honest

[kgotsomodise]

Lyrics:

Stop, 'cause you're killing me
You brought me back and made me feel free
Rowdy waves and your energy
You pulled me fragile from the wreckage
Well, I got so lost here
Machine assisted, I disappear
To a dream, you don't wanna hear
How I got caught up in nowhere again (oh)
It feels like I've been silent running (silent running)
Through the infinite pages, I've scrolled out
Searching for a new world
Waits on the sunrise
I'm silent running
Run, run, running (oh-ohh-oh), run, run, running
Run, run, running, run, run, running (I'll be, oh)
Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running (back to you)
I'm silent running
Run, run, running (oh-oh-ohh)
(Oh-ohh)
(Ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-oh-ohh)
Stop, or you'll make me cry (make me cry)
I think it's time that I decide (I decide)
What I've done when I trip and fly (trip and fly)
The wave is taking me (taking me)
There's no way out of here (no way out)
In the labyrinth I disappear (no one here)
To the dark fleet that got me here (underground)
I got caught up in no where again
It feels like I've been silent running (silent)
Through the infinite pages, I scroll out
Searching for a new world (trip and fly)
Waits on the sunrise
I'm silent running
Here we go
Searching for gold
You make me feel so alive (I'll never be)
Demons here (I'll never see)
That I had (I'll never sigh)
Truth be told (too far to sigh)
I'm silent running
(No way out)
(I'll be) back to you, back to you
I'm silent running
Run, run, running (ohh-oh-oh), run, run, running
Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running
Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running (back to you)
Run, run, running, run, running
Make me cry (memories and triumph)
I decide (this is the season of madness)
Trip and fly (trip and fly), taken
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
Ooh-oh-ooh

P.S. I just posted this because I love watching and reading the story

[DaFuqBoom]

2D: Stop, cuz you're killing me.
Cultists: Oh, sorry for the inconvenience
**unties 2D and lets him go**

[Gorillaz]

Police car stopping – we’re at the LA hospital brb

[tftc]

This is the best side of Gorillaz. Such a great song. Melodic, kinda nostalgic... Soothing and puts a smile upon our faced. This is one of their best songs ever.

[punted]

the fact that its been over 20 years and Gorillaz is still releasing the best music is just legendary

[the.duck.is.ronin.]

Can we all talk about the AMAZING facial animations? 2D's mournful look back up, Murdoc's "I got this" wink followed by the fear when he realised he couldn't pull it, Noodle's frustrated expression at the end, I could go on.

[nekrocyber]

Can't get over how surprisingly good this animation style is, everyone is so expressive

[CHESANDGLAMFOREVER]

to know that its already been a year since this came out is insane 😭 I'm so thankful I found Gorillaz and for all the great memories its given me

[shanihyaenidae]

02:24 who would have guessed Murdoc had perfectly shaved legs 🌟

[herohades]

There's so many little details I'm absolutely in love with here:
-The fact that Noodle was like "We gotta infiltrate a cult, which will require a disguise, time to wear booty shorts and a crop top" and that Murdoc was like "Ah yes, I can wear my old cult uniform". The fact that they're both completely right is astonishing.
-When the crew are sneaking up on the cultists all three of them waltz up like absolute gremlins, the absolute most conspicuous they can be
-That neither Murdoc or Spoon Lady can pull 2-D back up, which implies that the cultist who was lowering him before had just inhuman strength.
-2-D is wearing a shirt that, as far as I can tell, says "I am the lamb" probably in reference to him being sacrificed here. Which means he either planned to be captured by the cult, or that they put him in the shirt beforehand, both of which are hilarious
-The fact that Murdoc runs as soon as the cops show up
