LYRICS

Stop cos you’re killing me,
You brought me back and made me feel free,
Rowdy waves and your energy
You pulled me fragile from the wreckage

I got so lost here,
Machine assisted I disappear
To a dream you don’t want to hear
How I got caught up in nowhere again (oh)

It feels like I’ve been silent running (silent running)
Through the infinite pages I scroll out searching,
For a new world,
Waits on the sunrise.

I’m silent running,
Run run running,
run run running,
run run running,
run run running, (il be)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (silent running)
run run running, (oooh)

(ooooh) (aaaaah)

Stop or you’ll make me cry, (make me cry)
I think it’s time that I decided (I decide)
what I’ve done when I trip and fly (trip and fly)
and where it’s taking me, (taking me)
There’s no way out of here (no way out)
in the labyrinth I disappear (no one here)
to the dark fleets that got me here, (underground)
I got caught up in nowhere again,

It feels like I’ve been silent running, (silent running)
Through the infinite pages I scroll out searching,
For a new world, (trip and fly)
Waits on the sunrise,

Silent running (Silent running)
(Silent running)
(Silent running)
(ohh)

I’m silent running
No way out
Il be (aah)
back to you, (trip and fly)
back to you,

I’m silent running
Run run running, (oh)
run run running,
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (il be)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running, (back to you)
run run running

(Make me cry)
Memories of triumph
(I decide)
This is the season of madness
(Trip and fly)
(Taking me)
(oooh)
(oooh)

    FYI that little green bottle was Essence of Murdoc, my new signature scent
  • @Gorillaz
    It's me! Murdoc. Bloody hell, got a bit tense back there didn’t it?
  • @Gorillaz
    Gotta say I enjoyed watching Noodle put the smackdown on those cult goons – what was your best bit?
  • @tftc05
    This is the best side of Gorillaz. Such a great song. Melodic, kinda nostalgic... Soothing and puts a smile upon our faced. This is one of their best songs ever.
  • @DabiPrism21
    It’s been nearly 23 years and they’re still making banging music Edit: 1.1k likes holy fuck
  • @Gorillaz
    Did you like it when I trounced that demon? All part of my masterplan…
  • @Gorillaz
    Writing this in back of patrol car, handcuffs bit tight…
  • @SirCodyHimself
    This song is helping me get through the loss of my dad, I've always loved this band. Keep up the great work

    Lyrics: Stop, 'cause you're killing me You brought me back and made me feel free Rowdy waves and your energy You pulled me fragile from the wreckage Well, I got so lost here Machine assisted, I disappear To a dream, you don't wanna hear How I got caught up in nowhere again (oh) It feels like I've been silent running (silent running) Through the infinite pages, I've scrolled out Searching for a new world Waits on the sunrise I'm silent running Run, run, running (oh-ohh-oh), run, run, running Run, run, running, run, run, running (I'll be, oh) Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running (back to you) I'm silent running Run, run, running (oh-oh-ohh) (Oh-ohh) (Ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-oh-ohh) Stop, or you'll make me cry (make me cry) I think it's time that I decide (I decide) What I've done when I trip and fly (trip and fly) The wave is taking me (taking me) There's no way out of here (no way out) In the labyrinth I disappear (no one here) To the dark fleet that got me here (underground) I got caught up in no where again It feels like I've been silent running (silent) Through the infinite pages, I scroll out Searching for a new world (trip and fly) Waits on the sunrise I'm silent running Here we go Searching for gold You make me feel so alive (I'll never be) Demons here (I'll never see) That I had (I'll never sigh) Truth be told (too far to sigh) I'm silent running (No way out) (I'll be) back to you, back to you I'm silent running Run, run, running (ohh-oh-oh), run, run, running Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running Run, run, running (back to you), run, run, running (back to you) Run, run, running, run, running Make me cry (memories and triumph) I decide (this is the season of madness) Trip and fly (trip and fly), taken Ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh Ooh-oh-ooh P.S. I just posted this because I love watching and reading the story
  • @Gorillaz
    Stick around after the action for some top level bantz with me, Murdoc F Niccals. Shoot me your questions down in the comments - or if you just wanna tell me how great I am that's fine too... Laters!
  • @dooftheduke7584
    1:34 The lady was like "Crap we can't kill him or else the Gorillaz can't make anymore bangers"
  • @IanJones942
    I'm not sure how I missed this until TODAY, but I'm disappointed that it took this long for me to find. How are the Gorillaz consistently this damn good?
  • Can we all talk about the AMAZING facial animations? 2D's mournful look back up, Murdoc's "I got this" wink followed by the fear when he realised he couldn't pull it, Noodle's frustrated expression at the end, I could go on.
  • @ArcTrooperFives5
    I literally can’t stop listening to this. Gorillaz are just one of the best bands out there
  • @robseddon629
    This is a superb track. Can’t stop playing it. It’s as perfect as a song gets IMO.
  • @DaFuqBoom
    2D: Stop, cuz you're killing me. Cultists: Oh, sorry for the inconvenience *unties 2D and lets him go*
  • @TSOgirl1
    Stop, 'cause your killing me You brought me back And made me feel free Rowdy waves in your energy You've pulled fragile, from the wreckage I got so lost here Machine assisted, I disappear To a dream you don't wanna here How I got caught up in nowhere again It feels like I've been silent running (Silent Running) Through the infinite pages I've scrolled out Searchin' For a new world Waits on the sunrise I'm Silent Running Run, run running (Oohhh) Run, run running Run, run running (i'll be) Run, run running (back to you) Run, run running (back to you) I'm silent running Stop, or you'll make me cry I think its time, that I decide (decide) What I've done When I drink and fly To where its, taking me (Taking me!) There's nowhere out of here In the labyrinth, I disappear To the dark flees That brought me here I got caught up in nowhere, again It feels like I've been silent running Through the infinite pages I've scrolled out Searching' For a new world Waits on the sunrise Im Silent Running *music* *more music and yeah* Im silent running! Run, run running Run, run running Run, run running Ooh! Oh...

    I've only recently fell in love with Gorillaz, and I don't know why, but this song just hits in the feels. Like something good and pure just broke. Or someone loved just died.
