Every Planet We Reach Is Dead by Gorillaz is a contemplative song that explores themes of existentialism and disillusionment. Hailing from the United Kingdom, this alternative rock track often reflects on the cyclical nature of human endeavors and the inevitable decay of dreams and ambitions. The lyrics convey a sense of searching for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe, where each new destination or goal ultimately leads to a similar feeling of emptiness. With poignant moments that capture the futility of relentless pursuit ('Every planet we reach is dead'), the song delves into a sort of universal melancholy and the realization that fulfillment may always be just out of reach.
