The lyrics discuss a lone whale in a sea of trash that weve created.

Reading these comments, Im concerned that listeners are too caught up in the story used to string together the narrative rather than listening to the meaning of the words.

This is an acknowledgement of our perpetual waste cycle, creating things that are only destined to become trash destroying our environment around us in the process.

Euan Gorrie 4 years ago This may not be the intention of the song, but I feel it works as a pretty powerful metaphor for how disconnected artists have become from their audiences.

Stranded on an island of their own music unable to escape their own image, pumping out unoriginal songs.

The title Plastic Beach near literally translates to Fake Paradise, referring to social interactions, media, politics, entertainment, environment pollution, and a shift towards online digital culture.

Much of the albumn has relatively over the top digital effects and editing as well, perhaps in just of this fake and plastic theme.

While alot of the albumn has popy and upbeat rythem and tracks, the lyrics and meanings behind are quite dark and moody upon further interpretation, symbolizing the fake masks we hide behind and corruption.

How people choose to be ignorant and pretend everything is ok in our own ephemeral islandbubbles or Plastic Beach.

A green glow from a plastic Casio watch also perhaps refers to a central pursuit of money and guise towards false happiness.
