After a couple of years Gabriel felt an itch. His Puerto Rican roots urged him to start digging in his own past. This led to a quest with the band L. Santo. Alas! Gabi felt that he could only get to the bottom of things on his own. He decided to devote his time to seeking for the inner spark that made him tick. In his search, he ran into one of Belgian s finest producers, Jo Bogaert, whose -Pump up the Jam- after circling the planet successfully crashed with the souls of Puertorican youngsters. Fate brought Gabriel and Jo together and they created a universe in which Gabriel could freely confront his ever creeping demons and yet treat his ghosts with the utmost respect. Gibbering like two old rapscallions Bogaert and Rios created an album, Ghostboy: an ode to that part of you guys who just, well, you know what I am talking about - on which Gabriel united his old-skool Caribbean roots with his love for hip hop and melody. Gabriel, besides currently being involved in extremely nasty, extracurricular activities, is still busy recording with Jo Bogaert. This time the project will bear the name of another species of neither the here nor the there, beware of the -Angelhead-.
Skip The Intro
Gabriel Rios Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You had your sun burn on
And your summer dress wrapped around you
Like Bambi's mom out in the meadow
About to meddle
And lay my black cross right upon you
I lay it down down like it's my decree
Though we both know that it's
And we roll out skinny
Skipping intro
You know what i know
About to lay down low with you
I make my entry through your shadow
Your tail will rattle
The birds will scatter
And leave me with you
I know you must be someone's daughter
Not about to bother
Coz you don't know that you're waiting for me
No there's nothing's wrong with me
Just want you right here
Breathing next to me
And we roll out skinny
Skipping intro
You know what I know
About to lay down low with you
Give you my disease
Collar bone, hot neck
Open mouth and sweet teeth is calling me
We're moving like it isn't funny
Outside it's sunny
Inside we're making a storm out of you
I'll leave the knife right in the honey
This isn't money
But we're just richer than anybody else
Than everybody else
Who's trying to break into love
And just steal it all
Roll out skinny
Skipping intro
You'll know what I know
About to lay down low with you
In Gabriel Rios's song Skip The Intro, the singer describes his encounter with a woman walking on Grand and Myrtle, who had her sunburn on and was wearing a summer dress. He compares her to Bambi's mom out in the meadow, about to meddle, as he lays his black cross down like it's his decree. Although they both know that she has power over him, they roll out skinny, skipping the intro, with the intention of laying down low together. The singer makes his entry through her shadow, with her tail rattling and the birds scattering, leaving him alone with her. He knows that she must be someone's daughter, but that doesn't stop him from wanting her next to him, to give her his disease and to make a storm out of her.
The lyrics of Skip The Intro can be interpreted in multiple ways, but some themes that can be derived from the song include lust, desire, and the idea that love can be messy and doesn't always make logical sense. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who wants a woman so badly that he doesn't care who she is and what she represents. He wants her body, and he wants to explore his desires with her. He is willing to take risks and be reckless because he believes that he has found something special with her.

About to meddle
Seeming like you were about to get involved in something
And lay my black cross right upon you
And let my power dominate over you
I lay it down down like it's my decree
I assert my authority as if it were a royal command
Though we both know that it's
Though we are both aware that it is not
You over me
That you have more control over me than I do over you
And we roll out skinny
And we sneak out unnoticed
Skipping intro
Skipping the formalities and getting right to it
You know what i know
You understand what I do

About to engage in intimate activities with you
I make my entry through your shadow
I come into your life discreetly
Your tail will rattle

Collar bone, hot neck
Referring to specific body parts which would be touched during intimacy
Open mouth and sweet teeth is calling me
Your mouth and sweet breath attract me
We're moving like it isn't funny
We're acting like it's not a big deal, even though it is
Outside it's sunny
It's sunny outside
Inside we're making a storm out of you
While we are together, we are making great excitement
I'll leave the knife right in the honey
I'll leave my mark on you
This isn't money
This isn't a transaction
But we're just richer than anybody else
But we feel wealthier than anyone else
Than everybody else
More than anyone else
Who's trying to break into love
Whoever attempts to infiltrate a romantic relationship
And just steal it all
And steal all of it away
Roll out skinny
Sneak out unnoticed
Skipping intro
Avoiding formalities
You'll know what I know
You'll soon understand what I understand
About to lay down low with you
Preparing to have a physical relationship with you
