This song is about my bipolar disorder. Over the past few months, I've been pulling myself out of a really depressive state and have learned so much. I feel like such a happier person (Not just because of the mania) because of what I've learned. The problem with where I'm at is that I've been feeling a lot of anxiety (Due to mania). This song expresses that I'm doing so well, but there's always the threat of anxiety striking.

In the chorus, I talk about how if I don't take care and control this mania, I'll burn myself out and crash into a depressive state worse than most. I've been on such a high for so long that I'm afraid that the next flip is going to crush me. A part of me wants to just run with the mania and see how far it takes me. It would feel so great for a short period of time, and I want that instant gratification. However, I know that will only lead to me getting emotionally hurt (And possibly physically as well). I also feel like if I ride this high without caution I'll end up forgetting all the lessons I've learned that's put me in the mental state I'm in right now.

Lyrics:

Stuck in my mind
Yet I'm feeling fine
No longer lying
When I tell you that I have been trying
I tell you, lately, I'm still going crazy
Nothing's gonna stop me now that I'm pacing
Every day's just another lap in this race, and
Cruise control's off, I'm not stuck in a stasis

I ain't tryna stop, I ain't slowing down
I'm only going faster, break the speed of sound
My ears are gonna pop, getting further from the ground
Started liftoff, my heart begins to pound

If I don't slow, I know I'm gonna crash
I've been hitting this high, yeah, I know it won't last
I'll get a heartache and I know it won't pass
But for now, it pounds like a 'Rari, so fast
Or if I speed up, if I hit the gas
I'm a devil on the road, all my limits I've surpassed
But in the end, I'll be the one in dead last
Everything I've learned, gone and thrown in the trash

Stuck in my mind
Yet I'm feeling fine
No longer lying
When I tell you that I have been trying
I tell you lately, I'm still going crazy
Nothing's gonna stop me now that I'm pacing
Every day's just another lap in this race, and
Cruise control's off, I'm not stuck in a stasis

If I don't slow, I know I'm gonna crash
I've been hitting this high, yeah, I know it won't last
I'll get a heartache and I know it won't pass
But for now it pounds like a 'Rari, so fast
Or if I speed up, if I hit the gas
I'm a devil on the road, all my limits I've surpassed
But in the end, I'll be the one in dead last
Everything I've learned, gone and thrown in the trash

Supercar (Prod. pizzaccio)

5/4 is the second track in the Gorillaz' 2001 album Gorillaz. The title is a reference to the time signature of the song. 

It was originally intended to be a single with a corresponding video, but was replaced with 19-2000. However a storyboard version is available for viewing on YouTube. 

The beginning of 2002 saw Gorillaz cultural stock in the UK still on a high with award nominations and notably the appearance at the UK BRIT awards, opening the show. To remind the public that the album was still out there, a single was required. Tomorrow Comes Today, although released previously as the lead track on an EP was chosen as there was a video readily available, and also because the original release had not made much impact so it would be new to most people. The biggest treats for the fans on the package were probably the revised Gorillaz biographies and a new original B-side, 'Film Music' a mischevious title which tied in with the Gorillaz movie Damon and Jamie were talking up to any interviewer who'd listen (and, Gorillaz having conquered the world by this point, these were not few in number). As this is the only original B-Side not compiled on any version of G-Sides, the inclusion of 'Film Music' also makes this release more desirable for collectors.

Tomorrow Comes Today

Rock The House was the third Gorillaz single released from the debut album. Rock The House is known as the only other Del Tha Funkee Homosapien track available on the debut album. The single got a fair amount of radio play but could not be said to achieve true 'single' status in territories outside the UK, where its chart position would at best be described as 'acceptable' for a third / fourth single. MTV however lapped up the video so from this point of view it was a promotional success - the video would later be offered as a purchase incentive bonus on most editions of G-Sides. There were three excellent B-sides across formats which would become firm fan favourites.
