Little Pink Plastic Bags
Gorillaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They're just little pink plastic bags
Blowing on a highway alone
They don't know where they'll go
They just gonna float out
Hoh oh oho oh

They're just little pink plastic bags
Blowing on a highway alone
They don't know where they'll go
They just gonna float out
Hoh oh oho oh

Oh
What you gonna write ?
Some ?
What you want tonight?
Someone who'll go and get by ?

They're just little pink plastic bags
Blowing on a highway alone
They don't know where they'll go
They just gonna float out
Hoh oh oho oh

They're just little pink plastic bags
Blowing on a highway alone
They don't know where they'll go




They just gonna float out
Hoh oh oho oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Little Pink Plastic Bags" by Gorillaz present a picture of small pink plastic bags blowing along a highway, moving without any clear destination or purpose. The bags float aimlessly, carried by the wind, with no control over their movement or direction. The song seems to suggest that these bags represent the transient, fleeting nature of life and the lack of control human beings have over their fate.


The lyrics also imply a sense of loneliness and isolation, with the bags being singular and alone on the road. They seem to have no one to turn to, and no one to rely on, just like people who often find themselves alone and vulnerable in life. The line "someone who'll go and get by?" suggests a longing for companionship, and hints at the vulnerability and need for connection that lies beneath the surface of our existence.


Overall, "Little Pink Plastic Bags" can be seen as a poignant reflection on mortality, human vulnerability, and the search for meaning in a world where we often feel disconnected and isolated.

Someone here'll gonna get past by

The Fall is a hidden gem amongst the hidden gem that Gorillaz is

@moviemaker310

Gorillaz is 100% not hidden at all.

@DevunGames

Stepper But the Fall is an album that is overlooked by most Gorillaz fans.

@moviemaker310

you still called Gorillaz a hidden gem

@TritnewNG

Gorillaz isn't really a hidden gem, everyone knows them, just some newbies don't know their other not so well known tracks. The Fall wasn't really meant to be a huge hit, it's just an soundtrack or diary of the Escape to Plastic Beach Tour.
