Gorillaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eager man, that's all
Summer don't know me
He just left me loathing myself
'Cause I do know, Lord
From you that
Just died, yeah
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Don't stop the buck when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see
Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee
If you do that
I'll be some
To find you
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
The song "El Mañana" by Gorillaz tells a story of heartbreak and a longing to be loved. The opening lines, "Summer don't know me no more, eager man, that's all," suggests a time of change and separation, where the singer feels isolated and unknown. The line "He just left me loathing myself" indicates a sense of self-doubt and despair, perhaps due to the lack of connection with the people around him.
The next verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions, particularly their sadness and loss. The line "From you that just died, yeah" is likely a reference to someone they cared about who has passed away. The chorus repeats the phrase "I saw that day, lost my mind, Lord, I'll find, maybe in time you'll want to be mine" which can be interpreted as the singer reminiscing about the past and hoping to find love again in the future.
The final verse brings a sense of urgency and desperation, with the singer pleading for their loved one not to run away. The line "Money won't get there, ten years passed tonight, you'll flee" suggests that material possessions are not what truly matter in life and time is running out. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, which portrays the singer's longing for love and connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Summer don't know me no more
The season of summer has become unfamiliar to me
Eager man, that's all
I am a man who is willing to do whatever it takes
Summer don't know me
Summer has passed me by and I am left feeling lost
He just left me loathing myself
The summer has brought me nothing but feelings of self-hatred
'Cause I do know, Lord
Despite my struggles, I have faith in a higher power
From you that
I draw strength and hope from this belief
Just died, yeah
But even with this strong foundation, I still feel a sense of loss
I saw that day
There was a moment that changed everything
Lost my mind
I lost my sense of self and became overwhelmed
Lord, I'll find
I am searching for a way to regain my balance
Maybe in time
With patience, I may be able to heal
You'll want to be mine
And perhaps in the future, I will have someone to lean on
Don't stop the buck when it comes
Opportunities should be taken when they arise
It's the dawn, you'll see
A new beginning is on the horizon
Money won't get there
Material wealth is not the answer to my problems
Ten years passed tonight
Time has flown by faster than I realized
You'll flee
My sense of direction may take me far from where I am now
If you do that
But if you stray too far, I will try to find you
I'll be some
I will become a force to be reckoned with
To find you
And bring you back to where you belong
Maybe in time
In the end, all I can do is wait and hope
You'll want to be mine
That someday, someone will want to join me on this journey
Maybe in time
Maybe not today, but eventually
You'll want to be mine
I will find my way, and someone else will find me
Maybe in time
And we will both be better for it
You'll want to be mine
With time, we will both find what we were searching for

He's gone now. That brother of mine. He's buried with this album, Demon Days, it's clutched in his hand. A final gift from the family as he was taken before his time.
Everyday we want to see him come back. Everyday we hum this tune to ourselves as it feels so much like the end of a good thing.
The Gorillaz brought out a facet of my brother that was buried. Long would it have been unseen if not for this work. It brought us joy while we listened. We watched the videos in awe as they came out.
He loved this album. We loved him. We listen to the music as a reminder. We hope he hears it too. We hope he's listening with us where ever he may be.

Summer don't know me no more
Eager man that's all
Summer don't know me
He just let me love in my cell
'Cause I do know love
From you there, just dyin'
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
Don't stop the bud when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see
Money won't get there
Ten years past and now you'll flee
If you do that, I'll be soon to find you
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
I saw that day
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine
Maybe in time, you'll want to be mine

Never forget that in terms of story this depressing ass song was written by a 15 year Japanese girl (Who first showed up in a Fedex box) while fighting zombies.
