November Has Come
Gorillaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slow it down some
No split clown bum
Your old hit sound dumb
Hold it now, crown 'I'm
Where you found them at

Got 'em 'round town
Coulda drowned in it
Woulda floated bloated

Voted sugar coated
Loaded hip shooter
Draw for the poor
Free coffee at the banks
Hit through the straw
None more for me, thanks

That blanks the raw
That dang sure stank lit
Sank passed the pit for more hardcore prank spit

Crank it on blast
Roll past front street
Blew the whole spot
Like some old ass with skunk meat

These kids is too fast
Juiced off a junk treat
Who could get looser off a crunk or a funk beat?

Something is starting today
Where did he go why you want it to be?
Well you know November has come
When it's gone away

Something is starting today
Where did he go why you want it to be?
Well you know, November has come
When it's gone away

Baha
Can you dig it like a spigot
My guess is yes you can
Like, can I kick it?
Wicked
Liquor shot
If you happy and you know it
As you clap your hands to the thick snot
Of a poet flowin'
Broke a pen and I'm in cope hymen
Dope or rhymin all worth it then
The Hope Diamond
Required off the blackmarket
Or wire tappin'
Couldn't target a jar of spit
The rapid fire spark lit
Zzzz!
A rapper bug zapper
And it don't matter after if they's a thug or a dapper
Plug yer trap or it's maximum exposure
The beast got family in numbers asking 'em for closure
Aw, send 'em a gun and tell 'em clean it
Then go get the nun who said her son didn't mean it
She wore a filled-in thong
A billabong
And said, nah, fo'realla
The Villain on a Gorilla jawn?

Something is starting today
Where did he go why you want it to be?
Well you know November has come
When it's gone away

Something is starting today
Where did he go why you want it to be?
Well you know, November has come
When it's gone away
When it's
When it's gone away

Overall Meaning

The song "November Has Come" by Gorillaz is a combination of rap verses and melodic refrains. The lyrics are complex and contain multiple interpretations, but they mainly focus on the idea of something new beginning and the inevitability of change. The opening lines "Slow it down some, no split clown bum, your old hit sound dumb, hold it now, crown 'I'm" suggest that the person speaking wants to move on from their old ways and create something new. They want to be recognized as the king of their craft ("crown 'I'm"), but they acknowledge that their previous work ("old hit") was not good enough. They need to slow down and take a different approach.


The next few lines focus on the world around the singer. They are observing the people and places they see ("Got 'em 'round town"). The lines "Voted sugar-coated, loaded hip shooter, draw for the poor, free coffee at the banks, hit through the straw" suggest that the world is full of false promises and empty gestures. People are being given small comforts like free coffee and straws, but these do not address the underlying problems of poverty and inequality.


The lyrics then take a turn towards the absurd with lines like "Juiced off a junk treat, who could get looser off a crunk or a funk beat?" and "Can you dig it like a spigot, my guess is yes you can." These lines do not have a clear meaning but are instead meant to create a sense of fun and playfulness. The song ends with a repetition of the refrain "Something is starting today, Where did he go why you want it to be? Well, you know November has come, when it's gone away" which could be interpreted as a reflection on the passage of time and the beginning and endings of things.

@AxiomApe

Back again November 1st 2023 :
November has come again
I’m here to meet with friends
When fall leaves we sigh
When souls’ freed we cry
Remember to always come back like November
Always does and
Please render your thoughts with pure love and no guns man
The world is getting crazier and humans just getting lazier
The clarity’s fading now and the skyline’s looking hazier
Dirty apes, dead stuck on life’s thrillahs
I’d keep it simpler, vibe with my n* Gorillaz
Rest in peace to MF DOOM
The man myth the legend, just gone too soon.
Make sure you give thanks, live life and you pray
Before you know it, it’s all gone away.
