Marshmello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up and just felt right
Phone blown like a tailpipe
Today's schedule air tight
I turn a short day into a long night
See you soon if you got the heart
Meet you outside Reny Park
Hurry up it it's gettin dark
We don't say much, and that says a lot
Hopped into that old Benz
Drive through where that road ends
Good times with some old friends
I got just the thing if you so tense
Burn one lets go do some
She got me stoned as Medusa
Zoned out with a blank stare
I'm lookin' into the future

Hold up ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

Yea I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello

It's like 4 am and I'm bored again
When that 40 end
When that dream team all played out and they hit bench
I just step back lemme soak it in
I've seen the ups and downs
So I get it now, I was born to win
It's my time 'bout time, my turn I can't lie
Waiting for that one spark
My one hope to catch fire
I'm fine, I'm high
Light rain through the sunshine
Tryin' to man this old boat
I'm the captain now and it's crunch time
I don't care if I'm gettin' paid
Need the week but I get the day
Wide awake when I need sleep
I'm knee deep but I set the way
Focused on that one mistake let it free don't let it break
Fuck it all, I'm turning in
My celly's off the great escape

Hold up ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

Yea I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello

I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello

I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello




Everyday I keep it mello
Everyday I keep it mello

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Keep It Mello appear to describe the singer spending time with friends, smoking and drinking in order to unwind and chill, away from the pressures of life. The song opens with the singer describing waking up feeling good before looking at their phone to find that it's busy, thus highlighting the busy schedule that the day has in store. However, this doesn't deter the singer from meeting up with friends in Reny Park, where they engage in light conversation and laughter. The lyrics suggest that everyone is having a good time, and they end up smoking and getting high. The singer uses the metaphor of being "stoned as Medusa" but is optimistic as they "look into the future". The chorus "Hold up ain't nothing gonna hold us, put the devil to the side, got an angel on my shoulder, and I'm like hello, it's good to finally let go, I ain't worried 'bout a thing, I just like to keep it mellow" speaks to the theme of being carefree and enjoying the moment without stress or worry.


As the song continues, the singer describes how he was "born to win" and that "it's [his] time, 'bout time his turn" alluding to his ambition and desire to succeed. The lyrics suggest that he has seen the "ups and downs" of life but is not deterred from his goals. The song concludes with the singer continuing to enjoy the moment with friends - smoking, drinking, and 'bobbing to the beat,' as they keep it mellow.
