Stylo ft. Bobby Womack & Mos Def
Gorillaz Lyrics

Love, electricity, shockwave central
The combination of love and electricity creates an explosive force that radiates outward like a shockwave.

Power on the motherboard, yes
The love and electricity combine to create a powerful energy source that controls everything, like a motherboard in a computer.

Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
The energy is so intense that it can overload circuits and create a bright, glowing light that is like a legend in its power.

Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Amid the overload, there is both warmth and power, with sunshine and thunder combining to create a steady, ongoing force.

Yes the lantern burn, burn that easy
The energy is like a lantern that burns easily and represents the passion and intensity of the love and electricity.

And broadcast, so raw and neatly
The energy is broadcast outwards, raw and unfiltered, yet still carefully and neatly contained within the circuitry.

Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out
Despite the intense energy, there is harmony between the thunder and sunshine, and they work together to create a balanced force.

Oh Stylo,
The song addresses the character of Stylo, who is being encouraged to embrace the power of love and electricity.

Go forth, blossom in your soul
Stylo is being urged to embrace the power of love and electricity within himself and let it blossom and grow freely.

When you know your heart is light
True power comes when love and electricity combine and the heart feels light and free.

Electric is the love
The love is electric, meaning it is full of energy and intensity that is raw and unfiltered but can also be beautiful and harmonious.

When the mako flies up from the bottom in your eyes
A mako shark is used as a metaphor for intense, primal emotions rising up and surfacing in the eyes.

Then I know the twilight skies are not so broken hearted
When the intensity of the love and electricity rise to the surface, it can make even the saddest things seem beautiful and vibrant.

If its love is electric
The song continues to emphasize the idea that the love being discussed is full of electricity and energy.

It'll be flowing on the streets
This love is not contained to just one person or one place, but is instead something that flows outward, affecting everything and everyone it touches.

Night after night
This love is consistent and ongoing, persisting even through the darkest times.

Just to get through the week
This love is a source of strength for people trying to make it through the challenges and difficulties of daily life.

Sometimes it's hard
Despite the strength and intensity of the love, sometimes it is still difficult to cope with the challenges of life.

Sing yourself out of depression, rise above
The song encourages people to use the power of music to lift themselves up and overcome depression and other emotional struggles.

Always searching if I know your heart
Even when the going gets tough, people can find strength by remembering the power of love and electricity within themselves and in others.

There's only one way
The song asserts that the power of love and electricity is the only true path to strength and happiness in life.

Let it pray a little while longer
Amid the struggles and challenges of life, people should hold on to the power of love and electricity, even if it means waiting and hoping for a little while longer.

It's got a way of passing through man and woman
The power of love and electricity is not limited to gender or other demographic categories, but passes through everyone the same way.

In another world
The power of love and electricity represents a different, alternate reality that is possible in life.

In another world, in the universe
The song finishes by emphasizing the greatness and magnitude of this power, which extends to the entire universe and all its creatures.
