Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gravity with me never let me go no, no gravity
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on me
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on you
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on me
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on you
Gravity on me never let me down gently
Gravity with me never let me go no, no gravity
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on me
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on you
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on me
Oh don't pull me down
Oh don't pull me down on you
In the song "Sound Check," Gorillaz sings about the concept of gravity and its hold on them. The lyrics convey a sense of dependence on this gravitational force, almost as if it's a symbol of the things that ground us and keep us from floating away. The phrase "Gravity on me never let me down gently" suggests that even though gravity can be forceful, it's also there to protect and guide us.
The repetition of "Oh don't pull me down" reflects a fear of losing that grounding force and being pulled away from what's real and important in life. The line "Gravity with me never let me go" could also be interpreted as a metaphor for a loved one or a sense of purpose that keeps us anchored and gives us direction.
Overall, the song seems to be about finding comfort in the familiar and relying on the things that keep us steady, even when life gets chaotic or uncertain. The theme of gravity is woven throughout the lyrics as both a symbol and a literal force that plays a role in the singer's life.

I'm reading about this song in Rise of the Ogre while listening, and it says you can hear cicadas in the background when 2D is singing bc they recorded it outside in the middle of the night. I love how they have an explanation on how they got every little noise into every song.
@ziontopangariverwinchester7077
