Glitter Freeze
Gorillaz & Mark E. Smith Lyrics

It was a glitter freeze
Listen
You are a credit
A believer
Ship him far
"Glitter Freeze" by Gorillaz is a song that seems to explore themes of confusion and disorientation. The opening line of "Where's North from here?" could be interpreted in a literal sense as a question of direction, but it may also be seen as a metaphor for a search for a clear path or sense of purpose. The following lines "It was a glitter freeze, listen" reinforce the idea of a frozen, stagnant state of being, perhaps caused by the distractions and attractions of glitter or shine.
The lines "You are a credit, a believer" might be interpreted as a commentary on the value we place on material success and our tendency to blindly believe what we are told. Finally, the phrase "ship him far" could be seen as a sense of banishment or exile, perhaps indicating a desire to escape from the glittery, distracting world and find a clearer sense of direction.

This song is like being stuck on a ship with a crazy captain who's recklessly guiding you through a storm.
