Milo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a life under this quilted fleece
Where the wilted lease
We're the power and stilted speech
'N cupboards they granny shoulda dusted
Maladjusted with a malaprop
Sack of 'ism make the pallet drop
Palindrome of the ignoble savage be (oh shit)

I switched up

Steezoh

Oh, one two?

Light flick, brutal wrist cornucopious
Still life waiting on a vista to utopia
Mister Satan pausing in a hotel scallops
Fuck with the timing of the whole swell ballad
By bar eight he could heal the old and invalid
Sweaty tooth cold for the pallet and bracket
Blackface Tarzan, tanned arms basking
Ted Danson with the cheers
A dead man dancing with his fears
Lord Fred call it Capoeira
To you Black Emperor Ferreira forever
On a terrace with a beret and Beretta
Maroon mood indigo
At a sinister place where rap feel pitiful
Applied research to make the force field subliminal
Political climate turn your old Earth cynical
How it get lost in a small room, custodian of the statue

Null set

Hmmph
Yes

Overall Meaning

In the verse, Milo uses vivid imagery to describe life under the warmth of a heavy blanket. He mentions a wilted lease and stilted speech, which could hint at a feeling of being restrained or confined. The line about the granny's dusty cupboards adds to the image of a neglected and isolated existence. Milo also references the concept of a malaprop, which means using a word incorrectly in place of a similar-sounding word, possibly suggesting a lack of education or confusion in communication. The line about 'ism and a pallet drop could be interpreted as a commentary on the effects of systemic injustice.
