Gorillaz – Tranz lyrics
Oscillate yourself tonight
When you're in your bed
Assimilate the dopamine
Passing through your head


When you get back on a Saturday night
And the room is caving in
Do you look like me, do you feel like me
Do you turn into your effigy
?
Do you dance like this?
Forever

See yourself with Cupid's lake
Chipped in your head
Do you indicate to the satellites
Passing by the edge


When you get back on a Saturday night
And your head is caving in
Do you look like me, do you feel like me
Do you turn into your effigy?
Do you dance like this?
Forever
Do you dance like this?
Forever

Do you look like me
Do you burn like me
Do you look like me
Do you burn like me
Do you look like me
Do you burn like me
Do you turn into your effigy?
Do you dance like this?
Forever
Do you live like this?
Forever

    ive seen many people came those first lyrics are about.. uhhh... keeping yourself busy.. which makes sense a bit, but i do also enjoy the idea that the song is about someone trans. however i don't really have a full opinion, the song could be about anything, everything, something or nothing

    Ngl its pretty obvious its talking about a transgender person i mean, its called "Tranz"... 2-D is literally asking if they look like who they want to be, in the lyrics they are asking a trans person if they look like him which im sure is 2-D talking in the POV of who the transgender person would want to be, the lines of "do you ___ like me" are basically the inner thoughts of what they are thinking in a way, they want to be the "me".

    i think when he says "Do you dance like this?" its a mention to their previous song "Dirty Harry" (which is also very good you should check it out). Anyways, that song is about how someone who has been through war can never dance again because of all the guilt they feel. So maybe 2-D is asking Murdoc "Do you feel guilty for what you have done to me?"

    I think its talking about tanning in the tanning bed. Cupids lake is your in love with yourself. Effigy is your role model or idol. Do you look like me do you burn like me. Also sat night is when most people tan when they have there own bed. Roof caving in is the top of the bed closing on you and most people listen to music when they tan . Trans or tanz

    I tried to write this before but it isn't showing up sorry if i'm just repeating myself. I believe this song especially the music video is a jab at Murdoc, who was is prison when this song was released. Murdoc was known for abusing 2-D and when Murdoc was arrested 2-D was finally able to be confident. Confident enough to make a song centered around "Haha you're not here and we replaced you". When he says "Do you look like me, do you feel like me
    Do you turn into your effigy?" 2-D is saying they replaced Murdoc with the exact thing he was modeled after. Murdoc looks like he could be a member of the Gangreen Gang (lol). As someone else said "Cupids Lake" means to be in love with yourself and thats exactly what Murdoc was. Another thing i noticed was in the music video 2-D's eyes glowed. This is important because 2-D's eyes only turn black when he's in pain or unhappy. Just another little way 2-D is saying "I'm so glad you're gone".
