Magic for me
Magic make no sound
It good for me
It good for me underground

Magic on me
Really got me down
Invade the city
It make my heart beat no sound

Beat no sound
Beat no sound (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Beat no sound
Beat no sound
Beat no sound (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

And let me tell myself
Tell on
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on
Dad on
Dad on

Magic for me
Magic get me through
We pledge it money
People seem to walk through you

Magic's funny
Magic get me through
All good for me
When people seem to always walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you

And let me tell myself
Tell on
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on
Dad on
Dad on

She made me kill myself
Come on
Come on

She turned my dad on
Come on
She turned my dad on
Come on
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on




Dad on
Dad on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Gorillaz's song 5/4 talk about the concept of magic and how it affects the singer's life. The first verse describes how magic is good for the singer when he is underground, suggesting that it makes him feel protected and safe. However, the second verse states that magic is really getting him down and is invading the city, making his heart beat no sound. The use of the phrase "beat no sound" is significant since it suggests that his heart is not beating with excitement or anticipation but is rather faint or non-existent, and the magic is making him feel helpless or trapped.


The chorus repeats the phrase "beat no sound" several times, which emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a trance or hypnotized by the magic. The singer admits that he is telling himself to be strong and push through this mental state, but it seems that the magic has affected him to the point where he has lost control.


The last two lines of the song, "She made me kill myself/ Come on," suggest that the "she" in question has some sort of power over the singer, and the end result is tragic. It is unclear who this person is or what role they play in relation to the magic, however, the song paints a picture of someone who has the power to inflict harm on the singer.

Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good

Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go, 'cause they don't know wack
So while you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You got a new horizon, it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they got a kissing
'Cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is freely
Turned forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughin' gas these hazmats, fast cats
Linin' 'em up like * cracks
Play these ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
****, I'm steppin' in the heart of this here (yeah)
Care Bear rappin' in harder this year (yeah)
Watch me as I gravitate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Yo, we gon' ghost town this Motown
With yo' sound, you in the blink
Gon' bite the dust, can't fight with us
With yo' sound, you kill the Inc
So don't stop, get it, get it (get it)
Until you're cheddar headed
And watch the way I navigate
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is ticking, falling down
Love forever, love is freely
Turned forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Don't stop, get it, get it (sha, sha-ba-da)
Peep how your captain's in it (sha-ba-da-ca, feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate (sha, sha-ba-da)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (sha-ba-da-ca, feel good)
Don't stop, get it, get it (sha, sha-ba-da)
Peep how your captain's in it (sha-ba-da-ca, feel good)
Steady, watch me navigate (sha, sha-ba-da)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (sha-ba-da-ca, feel good)
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good
