Go Rilla
FIL BO RIVA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this a dream again?
I can't see nobody else
Don't want to live again
Stay here forever
In this blue sunken dream
Black and white is turning green
I'd be forever young, and never die, just like the gods above
I'm seeing things I've never seen
Is this a dream or something real?

Go go gorilla take me where you go oh
Go go gorilla take me where you go oh
Take me with you
Take me with you

Would you go back again?
Loving lovers in the night
Animals all in white
Laughing at life
I talked to the lighting man
Oh and he told me not to leave
'Cause like the gods above, always in love, I'd live forever

I'm seeing things I've never seen
Is this a dream or something real?

Go go gorilla take me where you go oh
Go go gorilla take me where you go oh
Take me with you
Take me with you

Hey pretty baby now, I'd like to bring 'em all out
I like to work them things, I like to shake them out
Hey pretty baby now, feel like it's comin' all out
Why don't you come with me, I'd like to shake you down
(Why don't you come with me, why don't you come with me)
(Why don't you come with me, why don't you come with me)
Why don't you come with me, I'd like to show you 'round

Is this a dream again?

Go go gorilla take me where you go oh
Go go gorilla take me where you go oh




Take me with you
Take me with you

Overall Meaning

In FIL BO RIVA's song "Go Rilla," the singer questions whether his current state is a dream or reality. The opening lines, "Is this a dream again? I can't see nobody else," suggest that he is in a state of solitude, possibly even isolation. But instead of wanting to wake up from the dream, he wants to stay in it forever. He refers to this state as a "blue sunken dream" where even "black and white is turning green." The color green typically symbolizes growth and life, which may indicate that the dream world is where he feels the most alive.


The singer also mentions living forever, just like the gods above, which may suggest that he is seeking immortality in some way. He wants to be forever young and never die, and "seeing things I've never seen" could be interpreted as his desire for new experiences so he can continue to feel alive. He calls out to a "go go gorilla" to take him where it goes, potentially as a metaphor for a wild and adventurous journey that could keep him feeling alive even in his dream state.


The singer also mentions conversation with a lighting man who advises him not to leave. This could represent an internal voice, warning him not to give up on his dream world and to stay in this state where he feels alive and forever young.
