      I feel this is 2-D speaking directly to the fandom. The fans help cheer him up, but he's reminding them that he's just a cartoon; don't be sad for him, and don't take whatever happens in the lore so seriously.
      I'll probably be crucified for saying that, at least on Twitter, but it's the only other interpretation that makes sense to me beyond the Amazon robot one that Damon talked about.

I heard this song for the first time at the Gorillaz concert in Dallas and cried when I heard the words, “Don’t be sad for me.” “And my intent is to breathe in a new world.” In a way it feels like a farewell from my Dad.

    In a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    Don't be sad for me (Where is here? I think I'm gonna fly)
    I'm a cartoon G (Behind the blast, staring at the sky)
    And my intent is to breathe
    In a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    Skinny little
    Skinny little
    Skinny little
    Skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape (x4)
    Ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape (x4)

    Lyrics
    Shoot the pool at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're dealing with here
    I was called Skinny Ape

    There will be time and there will be a sign
    When all the kids who have cancelled time will
    Take my hand and pull me up again
    Cheer me up and help me walk again
    Shoot the pool at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're dealing with here

    I got bones, I got jaded legs
    Not the type that can rearrange around
    Leaving plastic on a vacant lot
    Left me high and staring at a robot

    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    I can balance on the highest tree
    You can hardly see outlines of me
    I can disappear, all I am your day
    In this vacant stage
    I'm a skinny little ape

    Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape)
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe in a new world
    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape
    Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape
    Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape
    I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

    As I got a third of the way through the song, I thought to myself: "This is nice, but it probably needs a lift in energy". So up until halfway through the track I expected a number of moments to mark this increase, but then I gave up trying to predict its appearance.
    Then the double time came out of nowhere and gave me a very pleasant surprise! Combined with the mention of a new world this made for a happy and valiant song that I'll for sure be listening to again

      Agreed. He is so powerful and raw on his own, that the collaborations kind of dilute him a lot. It just got to be too much on “Humanz”, IMO. You never rob your frontman of his power. And I agree that Plastic Beach is a masterpiece. The collabs didn’t overwhelm him there.

This song means so much to me, as they somehow managed to capture what it feels like to think about all the love and support my closest friends and family have given me while helping me through depression. The beginning of the song feels like when I'm in a depressive pit, but the end feels like when I look back on all the great memories I have with those people, and the gratitude I have for them. This song instantly became special to me, and I will always think about the love I hold for my supporters, especially my brother, as he's always been my best and closest friend, and I'm so happy that we share the memory of going to see Gorillaz for the first time
