The lyrics of Gorillaz/Spacemonkeyz's song "Come Again" appear to be quite cryptic and hard to interpret at first glance. The first line, "It's a sweet," could be referring to the euphoric feeling that comes with drug use. The second line, "Over the," may indicate a sense of being overcome by this feeling. The next line, "Stop," seems to suggest a desire to stop this cycle, but this is followed by "Over the dub," which may imply that the feeling is too strong to resist. The final two lines - "Drugs/Don't wanna stop" - drive the point home that the drug addiction is too potent to overcome.
Overall, the song's seemingly cheerful beat and melody are at odds with the dark and cautionary nature of the lyrics. This however may have been Gorillaz/Spacemonkeyz's intention as a way of drawing attention to the fact that drug addiction can often be disguised as something harmless that keeps pulling one back in.
