Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain
Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain
Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain
Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain
Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain

Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain
Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gorillaz's song "Intro" can be understood as a question about power dynamics and social hierarchy. The repeated phrase "Who put me down on the bottom of the food chain" suggests a sense of frustration and injustice. The singer seems to be questioning why they are at the bottom of the social hierarchy, and who is responsible for putting them there. The food chain metaphor suggests a struggle for survival, where those at the top have more power, resources, and control than those at the bottom. The repetition of the phrase creates a sense of urgency and anger, as if the singer is demanding answers and accountability.


Furthermore, the line "Now entering the harmonic door" can be interpreted as a shift in tone or perspective. The phrase suggests a musical or spiritual transformation, as if the singer is moving from a state of confusion or anger to a more harmonious state of mind. The use of the word "entering" suggests a journey or passage, and the "harmonic door" implies a space of balance and unity. Overall, the song seems to be grappling with questions of power, identity, and oppression, and the possibility of finding a sense of harmony and balance in the face of these challenges.
