My proper voilà shadow gander
My shadow stigmata often
Left, right, up, step right up
Get your crisis rock-bottom
Crack light priest wind fire dog
Melon impetered cellophane
Arms long as their legs
Even the greys can't
Oh

Voilà

Maybe I belong to you
I'm sure you want me to
My shadow's onto you
voilà, voilà
I can't make you like voilà
I'll make you love voilà
Make you make love to voilà
Hole
Make you place your faith with voilà
Hotel
Enough with what your temple knew
Help

I don't talk to the help
Help
Whose voilà suits you too well?
Don't talk to the help
Help

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Death Grips's song Voila are a mix of cryptic phrases and repeated words that leave the listener with a sense of unease and confusion. The lyrics seem to be centered around the concept of identity and one's relationship to their own shadow or darker self. The opening lines, "My proper voilà shadow gander / My shadow stigmata often" suggest that the singer is examining their own shadow and how it is perceived by others.


The chorus of the song, "Maybe I belong to you / I'm sure you want me to / My shadow's onto you / voilà, voilà" repeats the word "voila" which can be translated from French as "there it is" or "behold." This repetition seems to suggest that the singer is presenting or revealing something to the listener, possibly their true self or their hidden desires.


There are also themes of power and control in the song, with lines like "Make you make love to voilà" and "Enough with what your temple knew / Help" hinting at a desire to be worshipped or in control. The repetition of "Don't talk to the help / Help" also implies a separation between those who are in charge and those who are not.


Overall, the lyrics of Voila are intentionally vague and open to interpretation, but they seem to be exploring the darker aspects of human nature and the desire for control and power.

If you put it on .5 speed, you can hear that the drum pattern isn’t even all that complicated, yet the added hi hats and instrumentals around it make it simply incredible. Death Grips at their finest.
