Stylo
Gorillaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Power on the motherboard, yes
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes, the lantern burns, firm and easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Oh Stylo
Go for blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love
When the mako flies up from the bottom in your eyes
Then I'll know the twilight skies are not so broken hearted
If it's love, it's electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
Right now
Sing yourself out of depression, rise above
All recession, if I know your heart
Electric is the love
There's only one way
Let it pray a little while longer
It's got a way of passing through man and woman
In another world
In another world in the universe, oh
Right now
Here's what we got to do
If it's love, it's electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
That's what I'm talking 'bout
Love, electricity, shockwave central
Power on the motherboard, yes
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes, the lantern burns, firm and easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out
Right now
The lyrics of Gorillaz's "Stylo" are somewhat enigmatic and open to interpretation, but the theme of the song seems to be about the power of love and electricity in bringing people together and overcoming adversity. The opening lines "Love, electricity, shockwave central / Power on the motherboard" sets the tone for the song, with a focus on a feeling of energetic and electric connection. The repeated phrases of "Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow / Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on" emphasize the idea of a powerful force that can be both overwhelming and exhilarating, while the mention of the "lantern burns" and "broadcast" give the sense of something being shared or spread through a community.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that if love is truly electric, it has the power to sustain us through difficult times. The lines "If it's love, it's electric / It'll be flowing on the streets / Night after night / Just to get through the week / Sometimes it's hard" reflect the struggles of daily life, but also suggest that the energy of love can overcome those struggles. The lines "Sing yourself out of depression, rise above / All recession" encourage the listener to find their own voice and power, and to remember that sometimes it takes a little extra effort to keep going.
