it just shows that even though we dont live in a perfect world it is still perfect for us and that we are blind as to whats happening in front of it until there is nothing left.
happey folk are normal pepol the strange men are the goverment wen the refrance that thay are blind is saying that thay do smoething thay do not want you to know and wen thay find the mountans jewls and mine it and fuming the cayos of the world (as in wars greed etc etc).
@type2moo you can also take it to a more specific level if you wish... the town can simply be a small town in the USA... they have something like oh i don't know a famous apple pie... then the government comes in and promises to make the town better... the "blind" people agree and sell the pie... then the government "shoots" all the "happyfolk" (actually take that one at face value...) and then all that's left is a factory in the town's place and "nothing"...
Happy folk happy with what they had, strange folk arriving with their own ideals of what was valuable, raping the land of the happy folk causing imbalance, then it all goes kablewie!
Sounds like a Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale... Children stories today have been soften WAY too much... I say "Bring back the old stories so children of tomorrow aren't completely blinded by everything soft!"
The Strange Folk remind me of that one boss monster on the game Omega Boost.
it is not creepy just have a brain and see the video through an open mind and you could see its about us screwing around small third world little tribes and taking advantage
well, I dont think that is what its about, but I think all these songs are open for interpretation, why do we have to label them with just one meaning, its great story and can mean many different things....
I agree,but surely you can see that it has a moral that is defined.natural beauty is diminished by the modern age,but before I saw the video I always thought that the people in dark glasses would be like fbi agents so yeah,its up for interpretation
this song is a metaphore of america stealing from incocent 3rd world countrys ... and then one day getting what they deserve for destroying innocent villages .... right?
they coveted these jewels in these caves above all things,and soon they began to mine the mountain it's rich seem feuling the chaos of their own world
(copy and paste this if you completely understand the lyrics)
it's not supposed to be scary it's supposed to be sad, there was a peaceful village that was happy until these people came and dug up their mountain because they vallued inaminent objects over other people and over happiness
Y'see, I'm just loving how Gorillaz continue to leave me speechless with their amazing songs and meanings.

If you can't tell the sheer deepness of this song, all I have to say is:
You are so dumb.
You are really dumb.
Fo' real.
