What is the meaning of the song “Otilo,” by Pocolee ft Hotkid?
Honestly, I can’t decipher this song. Kilolo? As in, what has gone? Is it the artists, Pocolee and Hotkid? Or their enemies? Or they have gone farther than their enemies and are unreachable or untouchable? Or the party has kicked off?
Any ideas, feel free to share them with the other readers.
But, there is a part in the song where the artists advise people not to be too trusting of those that claim to be supporting them. This is because they believe a lot of people pretend to be good and supportive but in the actual sense seek people’s downfall.
The artists also sing about their party mood, the good time they are having in the club with friends, intoxicating drinks, and marijuana.
What do you all think?
