El Poco Danylko
Joose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I liked that last one, Mitch

Say you gotta hold me in
And let them out
Flying like a bird
Got ya lookin' like
Bird brains in a bottle
Bird brains in a bottle, aw
Well, your passion's over, aw
No-leaf clover, style never looked so good on you
Baby!

To be uncritical
Got to be incredible
Through the altered vision
The road begins to glow
Embedded
You only see what you already know

Say you gotta hold me in
And let them out
Say you gotta hold me in
And let them out
Flying like a bird
Got ya lookin' like
Bird brains in a bottle, aw
Bird brains in a bottle, uh-huh
Uh, your passion's over, aw
No-leaf clover, style never looked so good on you
Baby!

To be uncritical
Got to be incredible
Through the altered vision
The road begins to glow
Embedded
You only see what you already know

Baby!

To be uncritical
Got to be incredible
Through the altered vision
The road begins to glow




Embedded
You only see what you already know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Joose's song "El Poco Danylko" are quite abstract, but themes of passion, holding back, and altered perception are present. The first verse talks about being held in but wanting to let something out, using the metaphor of flying like a bird. However, the following line suggests that this freedom may have negative consequences, as the person being described is compared to a "bird brain in a bottle" - someone who is trapped and unable to escape. The next lines switch gears to talk about passion being over, but this being okay because the style looks good on the person. The chorus repeats the idea of holding in and letting out, followed by the bird brain metaphor again.


The following verses talk about the need to be uncritical and incredible, and that through an altered perception, the road begins to glow. However, the line "embedded, you only see what you already know" suggests a limitation in this altered perception, as one can only see what they have already experienced or believe to be true. The song ends by repeating the chorus and the idea of being uncritical and incredible.


Overall, the meaning of the song is quite elusive and can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Perhaps it is about the struggle between wanting to be free and feeling trapped, or the difficulty of seeing beyond our preconceived notions and biases. The repeated phrases and metaphors give the song a dreamlike quality, adding to its abstract nature.
