Born Lakisha Robinson in Orlando, Florida, she spent part of her childhood in New Jersey prior to returning to Orlando and was briefly in a pop group called D'Angelz. She moved to New York, attended the Pratt Institute, and worked as a model and waiter.
Led by the dreamy "Navy," her first EP, Homeschool, was self-released in April 2012. A couple years later, after assorted collaborative work, she connected with the music wing of French fashion label KitsunΓ© for Across, another EP of atmospheric, slackened R&B. In 2015, she appeared on Etienne de CrΓ©cy's Super Discount 3 and Vince Staples' Summertime '06. Reflections in Real Time, a sprawling and deeply personal album that flitted between fully developed songs and fragmentary interludes, followed in February 2016.

Kilo Kish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of where this could go
I'm slowing down the tempo
Your eyes so black they're like the universe in me
I think that's what I'm trying to see
Cause if you have enough to be
Every part, of everything
My fingertips are burning
They wanna be at your place
Chalk out lining your face
Do you know how stars taste?
Well you'll find out one day
Maybe me, maybe not
Stick around, you'll learn alo
Let's go over under
Let's go where I wonder
If we'll ever come back
And if your mind can trace that
You'll find that I'm in you
And you're inside me too
Sending busy signals
Interstellar rituals, you know
The stars
They don't just shine for you
They don't just shine for me
They are celestial beings
We are the stars
I don't just shine for you
You don't just shine for me
But still magnetically
We are
I respect your intent
Introspective defects
Let's play a new game
Give me a martian name
You don't have to explain
No it's better this way
You'll be my dictator
The mercury in flavor
Starlight, Star bright
Take me on an endless flight
Make me shine like disco lights
Red and blue, green and white
Oxygen intensifies the solar system and beyond
The planet inbetween our palms
In deep space I erase
All the memories of her face
Our travels will replace
Everything you once chased
In these lyrics, Kilo Kish appears to be describing the early stages of a romantic relationship, and the excitement and uncertainty that comes with exploring new emotions and possibilities. She reflects on her own desires and feelings of attraction, using vivid imagery to capture the intensity of her physical and emotional responses. Kish also invites her partner to join her in a journey through the unknown, suggesting a willingness to take risks and see where things might lead.
Throughout the song, Kish alludes to the vastness of the universe and humanity's place within it. She suggests that, like stars, people are connected to one another in ways that may not always be visible or immediate, but which nevertheless shape the course of our lives. Kish seems to revel in the mystery and beauty of these connections, suggesting that they offer comfort and excitement even when we are faced with uncertainty or difficulty.
Overall, "Navy" is a poignant reflection on the complex and often contradictory nature of human relationships, as well as the ways in which our connections to one another are shaped by the wider universe in which we exist.

Head is on my pillow
I'm lying in bed and thinking about things
Thinking of where this could go
I'm considering the possibilities of a potential relationship
I'm slowing down the tempo
I want to take things slow
Your eyes so black they're like the universe in me
Your eyes are so deep and profound, they make me feel like the universe is within me
I think that's what I'm trying to see
I'm trying to understand the depth of our connection
Cause if you have enough to be
If you have the potential to be everything
Every part, of everything
Then you have the ability to be a part of everything and anything
My fingertips are burning
I'm feeling overwhelmed with desire
Scratching and they're yearning
I can't stop myself from wanting you
They wanna be at your place
I want to touch you
Chalk out lining your face
I want to remember every detail of your face
Do you know how stars taste?
Have you ever experienced something so amazing it feels like tasting a star?
Well you'll find out one day
I hope you get to experience that feeling someday
Maybe me, maybe not
Maybe I'll be the one to give you that experience, or maybe someone else will
Stick around, you'll learn alo
Stay with me and you'll discover a lot
Let's go over under
Let's explore things together
Let's go where I wonder
Let's go to mysterious, uncharted places
If we'll ever come back
We might get lost in the experience and not return
And if your mind can trace that
If you can comprehend the magnitude of our adventure
You'll find that I'm in you
You will realize that we are connected on a deeper level
And you're inside me too
We are intertwined and intertwined in everything we do
Sending busy signals
Our connection is so strong, it's overwhelming
Interstellar rituals, you know
Our bond transcends beyond our physical beings
The stars
Celestial bodies that hold immense power and beauty
They don't just shine for you
The stars don't exist solely for your own enjoyment
They don't just shine for me
The stars don't exist solely for my own enjoyment
They are celestial beings
The stars are divine entities beyond human comprehension
We are the stars
We have the same potential to represent beauty, power, and the unknown
I don't just shine for you
I'm not just here for your own enjoyment
You don't just shine for me
You're not just here for my own enjoyment
But still magnetically
Our connection is still magnetic, and we're irresistibly drawn towards each other
We are
We exist and we have the power of creation
I respect your intent
I acknowledge and value your intentions
Introspective defects
We all have flaws and areas we need to improve on
Let's play a new game
Let's try something new and exciting
Give me a martian name
Let's create something unique and out of this world
You don't have to explain
You don't need to explain yourself to me
No it's better this way
Sometimes, silence and ambiguity is better than explanation
You'll be my dictator
You'll take control and lead the way
The mercury in flavor
Something exciting and unique, like the taste of mercury
Starlight, Star bright
An allusion to a nursery rhyme
Take me on an endless flight
Let's explore and discover things together without limits
Make me shine like disco lights
Let's have fun and make unforgettable memories together
Red and blue, green and white
Alludes to the colors of stars and galaxies
Oxygen intensifies the solar system and beyond
Life and creation with oxygen intensifies the beauty and complexity of the universe
The planet inbetween our palms
The world we create and hold in our hands
In deep space I erase
I forget about things that no longer matter in the grand scheme of the universe
All the memories of her face
I let go of memories of past relationships
Our travels will replace
New experiences and adventures will fill the void of past experiences

This is a public comment section. Besides, you really didn't have to come at her like that.
It was like a firecracker exploding without anyone lighting the fuse. Weird and unnecessary.
