Oh Stylo
Go forth, blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love
When the mako flies
Up from the bottom in your eyes
Then I know the twilight skies
Are not so broken hearted
(About to go down)
Stylo, Stylo
Stylo, Stylo
Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o
Stylo-o-o-o-o-o
Elec-lec, electric is the...
Oh Stylo
Go forth, blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love
There's only one way
Let it pray a little while longer
It's got a way of passing through man and woman
In another world, in the universe...
Oohhh!
Love, electricity, shockwave central
Power on the motherboard, yes!
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes, the lantern burn, burn that easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine
Work it out
Stylo, Stylo
Stylo, Stylo
Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o
Stylo-o-o-o-o-o
Elec-lec, electric is the...
Sing yourself
Out of depression, rise above
I'll be searching if I know your heart
Electric is the love
Yeah, uh!
I'm overwhelmed, like my poem reveals
I found my love electric flow in myself
Frozen my hell, my soul's in a shell
My opponents have failed
Haters undetected like a soldier with stealth
Pray for a happy ending, play my role in the film
That's the emotion we feel
Oh Stylo, let your love shine brighter than some white dough
(Here's what we got to do)
Love, electricity, shockwave central
Pummel on the motherboard, yes
(Right now!)
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep it all together
Yes the lantern burn, burn that easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
(Right now!)
Thunder roll, sunshine
Work it out
Electric!
(Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o)
Electric!
(Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o)
(I found my love electric)
Electric!
(Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o)
Electric!
(Stylo-o-o-o-o-o, Stylo-o-o-o-o-o)
(I-I-I found my love electric)
Electric!
Is all you need
So follow me
To the light
(I found my love electric)
Electric!
Is all you need
So follow me...
About This Song
"Stylo" is an electrifying fusion of hip-hop, electronic, and alternative rock that explores themes of technological overload and digital-age anxiety through vivid imagery of electrical systems and power surges. The lyrics use metaphors of circuitry, motherboards, and energy overload to capture the overwhelming sensation of modern life's constant connectivity and stimulation. Musically, the track features a driving bassline, synth-heavy production, and Bobby Womack's soulful vocals alongside rap verses, creating a sonic representation of the "overload" described in the lyrics. The repetitive chant of "overload" becomes both hypnotic and urgent, reflecting how technology can simultaneously energize and exhaust us. As part of Gorillaz's *Plastic Beach* concept album, "Stylo" stands out as a commentary on our relationship with digital culture, wrapped in an irresistibly catchy and forward-thinking sound that helped define the band's evolution into more electronic territories.
