"When lies become reality, you numb yourself with drugs and tv" Gorillaz always had a great foresight on our world.

Fun Fact: The whole album is supposed to be like a journey through a cold, dark night, where every track is a demon you must face. This track, however, is supposed to be like the first orange light of the rising sun, washing away the shadows.

This song was just ahead of its time, demon days are here. Just cant believe it..

perfect, the definitive anthem about having hope in the face of hopelessness.

I promised my best friend, since school was so stressful in the pandemic and grades were scaring us, and life was getting hard, on the first day of summer we would watch the sun set and listen to this legendary song. Over here in our school district, today was the first day of summer, and we did just that. I think we may make this tradition. Thank you Gorillaz for a great song to make the sun glow more :)

My favorite album of all time. Played the last two songs at my best friends funeral.

I can't even describe how much I love this song. It sounds like a new morning after a night of terror. Demon days is such a good album.

This deserves to be the Title of an Album.

the best lyrics ever In these demon days It's so cold inside So hard for a good soul to survive You can't even trust the air you breathe Because mother earth wants us all to leave When lies become reality You numb yourself with drugs and T.V. So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day So turn yourself round Don't burn yourself, turn youself Turn yourself around To the sun!

ANOTHER FUN FACT: This whole album helped me get through several stints in rehab...this song in particular...listening today, over 12 yrs off the hard stuff. Thanks Gorillaz.

I love how the song starts in harmonic dissonance, but ends in complete harmony and completion, just like a sunrise

Don't Get Lost in Heaven/Demon Days is one of those songs that I use to pick myself up in bad times.

In demon days, it's cold inside You don't get nobody, people sigh It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself Hiding in a hole in there All the glasses are too big Bring it back, got to hold it back To let you do that yet you don't want me back Before it fall down, falling down falling down Falling out to go far from the soul (ah) In these demon days It's so cold inside So hard for a good soul to survive You can't even trust the air you breathe Because mother earth wants us all to leave When lies become reality You numb yourself with drugs and T.V. So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day So turn yourself round Don't burn yourself, turn youself Turn yourself around To the sun! To the sun, to the sun... To the sun, to the sun...

i love this song. an all time favorite

This song, along with Don't Get Lost in Heaven, means a lot to me. This usually makes me tear up because of how beautiful it is and how much I've listened to it over the past several months. I've been struggling lately, but Gorillaz always manages to cheer me up :)

This song is something special, I don't know why or what, but the sounds, the lyrics, it gives peace to my soul... When I listen to this I remberber my dad, I miss you dad, thanks for everything. sorry, I'm improving my english

the transition to don’t get lost in heaven to demon days is SO FREAKING GOOD. cherishing this album forever and ever

At first, I thought this song was bad, because I dont usually like orchestral songs that are too serious. But my friend played it enough to the point where I realized something. I love this song, it’s nothing short of enchanting, and I should appreciate more songs like this. Thank you, gorrillaz, this is a masterpiece

Just got back from the Seattle concert and they finished with Don't Get Lost in Heaven followed by this song. Listening to that choir in person was just pure, nostalgic ecstasy. So grateful my sisters and I got to go, the whole concert was amazing!

"You cant even trust the air you breath" We live in the demon days now

The choir really elevates this song into an almost religious hymn of positivity. Absolutely Beautiful

I wish they'd post a version with Fire Coming Out of Monkey's Head, Don't get Lost in Heaven, and this combined because I think those songs NEED to be played together to truly work. Fire is about disaster striking, Don't Get Lost is has a sense of giving up, and this song is about keeping hope. And man, the transition between Don't get Lost and this song is so fucking powerful. And the part where the guitar plucking comes in is just chilling. I absolutely love Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc to death, and while those are my childhood favorites, this song might just edge them out a bit. Maybe I just didn't get it as a kid but man, this song is so emotional. Perfect way to finish what I'd consider to be the best Gorillaz album.

Here it is everyone. The last track of Demon Days, I admire how far we have come, how far Damon and Jamie have come. This album shaped the music taste of so many people. A entire generation even. Gorillaz really is a work of art, a novelty, something that will leave a mark on earth forever. Murdoc,2D,Noodle,and Russel have all left a place in my heart and I'm glad I stayed as long as a did. -a longtime fan

Kinda feel like we're back in the Demon Days right now. A lot of uncertainty in the world.

End of a breath taking story

This song brings tears to my eyes

I totally think they should go back and make full movies or just a series of videos (including the original videos) with their first album, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach. I'd buy the hell out them!

The violin at the beginning is amazing.

Definitely my favorite Gorillaz song of all time. Nothing they have made or ever will make can top this song.

Listening to this after their first show in Chicago. I will never stop crying over this song now.

best album ever just one of my favourites song ever from my favourite album from my favourite band it transmits such hapinness, waiting for the upcoming album to see what damon albarn and jamie hewlett bring to us

this DESERVES to be as popular as feel good inc, stg man

I want this to be played at my funeral

This song makes me feel in a way that i can't even describe. It's like i'm some sort of pure being reaching its maximum potential or something like that. I love this album, but without this song it would not be my #1 of all time

I have not been listening to Gorillaz for a very long time, but this song stands out from any other they have made. I don't know what it is, or why, but each time I hear this I always feel like/end up crying. Thank you Gorillaz for making my life better, I feel so much happier now that I have been listening to your music.

[Verse: 2D] In demon days, it's cold inside You don't get nobody, people sigh It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself Hiding in a hole in there All the glasses are far too big bring it back, got to hold it back To let you do that yet you don't want me back Before it fall down, falling down, falling down Falling out to go far from the sun [Hook: The London Community Gospel Choir] In these demon days it's so cold inside So hard for a good soul to survive You can't even trust the air you breathe Cause mother earth wants us all to leave When lies become reality you numb yourself with drugs and TV Pick yourself up it's a brand new day so turn yourself round Don't burn yourself, turn yourself, turn yourself around into the sun In these demon days it's so cold inside So hard for a good soul to survive You can't even trust the air you breathe Cause mother earth wants us all to leave When lies become reality you numb yourself with drugs and TV Pick yourself up it's a brand new day so turn yourself round Don't burn yourself, turn yourself, turn yourself around into the sun [Outro] To the sun, to the sun To the sun, to the sun To the sun, to the sun To the sun, to the sun

the greatest outro to an album. Godlike. really it does speak to me on a spiritual level, being raised in Hinduism we speak of the age of Kalyug...the age of Sin...and everything the lyrics are describes exactly what it is....its truly powerful and universal. my favourite Gorillaz track hands down

"You can't even trust the air you breathe." This line takes on new signifiance now.

Best Gorillaz song definitely, it's too amazing and I love everything from them.

This song is so peaceful. Maybe one of the best endings made to an album.

Is this the new Windows logo cause I'm digging it

What a closer. This is the best Gorillaz album, and one of the greatest albums of all time. The newer stuff hasn't managed to come close to this.

This song gives me chills, literally, my arm hair goes crazy

The epic conclusion to the most intense and emotive album imo!

I love how the humming 2-D does in this song matches the guitar part in Don't Get Lost in Heaven, it's so cool how they connect so well

i just listened through this whole album for the first time. I don't want it to end

This ladies and germs is how you make a closure for a grand finale !!!!!

This is one of the most beautiful, uplifting songs ever created. It's a powerful ray of hope and perseverance in the face of despair and cynicism. A bucket of liquid sunshine being poured over your soul at it's lowest point. The perfect end to the experience that is Demon Days. My favorite Gorillaz song.

That ako taco moment when you accidentally listen to the entire album but you don’t regret it because you love the album and it has a special place in your heart Thank you, Damon and Jamie. You created a band that brought forth an album that will never get lost in time. You guys are amazing people and omg I’m crying writing this because of y’all. You are never going to fade from existence, even when you guys die. Thank you for creating a large chunk of my childhood, even when I had never heard of the band before 2019. It is a shame how I have not discovered you guys before that. You guys made a great decision by making Gorillaz. Y’all are amazing and I will never forget you guys. Keep on making great music, guys. Your fans all appreciate the work you have done, even if they are casual fans. No song of yours can be rated against each other, as all of them are amazing. Thank you.

the intro to the song with the Violin part i play it over and over before i play the whole song so fucking beautiful

After listening to this song, which came from my Dad's playlist of music, this was not only the first Gorillaz song, but it wasn't until months ago I heard my friends talk about them! After listening to their other songs, like Feel Good Inc., I felt like getting some more tunes of theirs a listen! These guys are fucking legendary.

Beyond harmonious and gorgeous. And the lyrics will always be relevant.

I think I might start crying cause they are coming back. They always make me feel so happy whenever in feeling depressed :)

I know im many years late, but this song helped me through some very horrible periods in my life.

The strings in this is amazing.

"You cant even trust the air you breathe cause, mother earth want us all to leave" After 2020 that part hits different

The most beautiful album ender ever

cant wait for new album

Este álbum es una obra maestra que supera a cualquier artista en mi opinión es uno de los mejores albums de todos los tiempos y Gorillaz es la mejor banda del mundo

we did it, we made it to the end.

This is the Best Gorillaz song.

Driving home at sunrise from a party (sober) and this starts playing. This was the perfect song to play at the time.

This and Pirate Jet have to be arguably the best closing songs to a Gorillaz album.

This song never ceases to send chills down my spine!

Listened to this during some of my demon days a year ago. Thanks gorillaz.

this is what finding your portal after getting lost in the nether feels like

This song really saved my life.

at 15 this was the first album i ever bought with my own money from working at my first job. i mainly just wanted feel good inc. but had to buy the whole album. im SO glad i did

I love how they come out of nowhere with reggae ish tracks to close out albums.

Most beautiful song. This by far is my favorite album. Gorillaz is super overlooked in terms of the greats and their impact on music. 🎉

perfect ending to a perfect album.

Demon days is such an amazing story and album over all and honestly I could listen to this album on repeat forever

This is so beautiful it made me cry

People talk about this song representing a dawning of a new day, but I don't feel like it's positive like most people seem to think of it. It feels very melancholy and "this is fine". That said it's one of my favorite songs they've done.

A song to listen to in these hard times, or in other words, demon days.

I play this song whenever life puts me in an inescapable corner. ... Like it has been for the last two year. Sometimes it's on loop for the entire day.

Ok but how can anyone understand what 2-D says at the beginning? His voice is beautiful but I haven't a clue what he's saying.

Nostalgia since I was little, listening to wonderful songs, they are beautiful, nothing like Gorillaz

Oh my GOD... this song it’s so GOOD, the whole album is with "sad" songs.... but this.... jeez

This is an absolute masterpiece!!! How can words describe something like this?!

The very first time I heard this song, first thing that came to mind was how it was the type of music you'd hear while the memories from your life rolled down a screen (like rolling credits at the end of a movie)

always reminded me of the end of "dark side of the moon" and I mean that in the best possible way.

This song just gives me goosebumps and chills

Hola les hablo del futuro incierto del covod-19en estos momentos desesperados para todos como yo encontre esta cancion de casualidad escuchando albums que no habia escuchado y cuando oi esta cancion y vi la letra llore por lo que dice y la situacion actual en la que estoy junto con el mundo y escuchado esta cancion me da tristeza por los que ya se fueron y por los que estamos aqui batallando a diario y en cosas como esta cancion son capases de lavantarte el animo cuando todo parece estar perdido thank you for song gorillaz amazIng!!!

Whether you finished school for the holidays, taking a break from work, taking your last breath of your life and or waken up on a monday, all good and bad things must come to a end.

What a great album

I'm very very happy all their albums are here on KZbin. I've wanted to get Demon Days for a while, and I thought, well, what if I buy it and don't end up liking it all that much? Needless to say, I think I'm buying the album pretty soon.

I wonder if Damon remembers this song and aknowledge that it has become more relevant than ever.

One of my favorite all time songs

This song always brings me back to 2010 when I broke up with my high school girlfriend 5 years after graduating. I moved away to Flint, Michigan of all places to live on my own, hang with people I thought were my friends, and see what else was out there. All it amounted to was a prescription pill problem that I developed as my roommate was an alcoholic and heavy opiate user. I was in too deep before I really noticed it. After a year of this I was sitting in my car on a freezing December morning in my work parking lot. Car and heat not even running as I was so low on gas and funds I couldn't risk it. This song, Demon Days, that ive heard many times before but didnt really get into as much as other Gorillaz songs came on the playlist through my phone and really resonated with me this time. I laid back in my seat and stared out the sunroof and felt the warmth of the sun on my face as I closed my eyes along with the song. At one point I opened them and watched a plane fly across the window and I imagined myself on it.. taking me out of Flint, Michigan to somewhere warm, leaving my problems behind. I was no longer sitting in my frozen car feeling withdrawal symptoms from pain killers, that ironically only caused me pain. My entire body had thawed and I finally felt relief. And then just like out of a bad movie or something.. my boss walks by my car on his way into work, bangs on my driver side window and points at his watch and slumps his way inside. I turned off the music.. immediately felt frozen from head to toe again, and the body aches and anxiety riddled mind all rushed back. Ever since then this has been my escape song when I desperately need to be somewhere else.

finally got around to listening to the album, and by far this is my favorite track off of it. it feels magical in a way i cant describe.

Man, kids today will never understand how brilliant it was to grow up at the time that this came out. Listening to this album all the time, even when things were bad, and I mean REALLY bad, music in general helped a young me to endure.

I think about this song and play it whenever I'm feeling down. It really lifts my spirits.

If this album isn't playing at my funeral I'M NOT DYING

This song was perfect for me when I was slowly easing out of my depression.

Hold tight. This song comes true now. Lift yourself up it's a brand new day. 2020 the Demon days

The violin makes this song so great

this feels like the last track of the end of my life.

best emotional song of Gorillaz ever

My first song for the new year because it seems so fitting
