Ajie decided to quit the band and focused on Themilo as his main project. The group made some lineup changes as Coro and Uti was replaced by new personnel, Themilo is now consisted of Ajie Gergaji, Upik, Suki (ex-member of Dua Sejoli), Budi Cilsen (ex-Frozen Head), and Hendi Unyil (ex-New Market) for most of the band’s recording career until today.

As one of many indie label’s band exist in Indonesia, Themilo is trying to establish music creativity upon its limitation. The boundaries itself doesn’t stop them to deliver new ideas in bringing their music. Satisfaction is the last thing they want to achieve because of its temporal nature and could become barricade to their creativity.
Themilo forever will be a process without boundaries, unstoppable contemplation, and dialectic without an end.
Last but not least, Themilo will remain exist and processing until time stops them from being creative..

Dunia Semu
The Milo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dunia semu, terjebak aku didalamnya
Kacau balau dalam benak
Hari-hari membosankan
Memandang keliling penuh tulisan
Dunia semu, terjebak aku didalamnya
Kacau balau dalam benak
Orang-orang penuh amarah dan bingung
Melihatku, terlihat sepi diri

Overall Meaning

The Milo's song Dunia Semu translates to 'The Illusionary World.' The lyrics talk about being trapped in a world that is not real, full of chaos and boredom. The singer of the song is besieged by thoughts of confusion and frustration. Days pass by, yet they remain unfulfilled, aimlessly moving from one place to another.

The second stanza touches upon the singer's view of the people around them. The world is mired with anger and confusion. Everyone seems to be at loss, not knowing what to do. Yet, the singer remains alone in this chaos - isolated from everyone else. They appear shrouded in loneliness, experiencing feelings of detachment amidst a multitude of people.

Overall, the song discusses the emptiness that one could feel in their lives. The world's chaos, filled with anger and confusion, brings no peace to the individual. The lyrics are an empathetic representation of those who feel isolated and disassociated in their surroundings.
