What "El Mañana" by Gorillaz is Really About

Written by one of the most prolific songwriters of our time, Damon Albarn, El Mañana is a beautifully melodic trip-hop ballad released under the band name Gorillaz, on their second album, Demon Days, released in May 2005. It was then released in April 2006 as a single along with the song Kids With Guns.

Because of their intentional ambiguity, the words to El Mañana are heavily disputed, not only for what is being said in a literal sense, but what the song is truly about as a whole.
