KeEp IT MeLLo (feat. Omar LinX)

Marshmello's 'KeEp IT MeLLo (feat. Omar LinX)' is a laid-back anthem that encapsulates the essence of living a stress-free and relaxed life. The song opens with a depiction of a busy day, where the protagonist's phone is constantly buzzing, and the schedule is packed. Despite the chaos, there's a conscious decision to turn a short day into a long night, emphasizing the importance of making time for relaxation and enjoyment. The lyrics suggest meeting up with friends and enjoying simple pleasures, like driving around in an old car and reminiscing about good times.

The chorus, with its repetitive mantra of 'I smoke and keep it mello, I drink and keep it mello,' reinforces the theme of maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. The use of substances like smoking and drinking is portrayed as a means to achieve this mellow state, but it's more about the mindset than the actions themselves. The lyrics also touch on the idea of letting go of worries and not being held back by negative influences, symbolized by putting the devil to the side and having an angel on the shoulder. This duality represents the internal struggle between stress and peace, ultimately choosing to embrace the latter.

As the song progresses, it delves into the artist's reflections on life and success. The lines 'I've seen the ups and downs, so I get it now, I was born to win' highlight a sense of resilience and understanding that comes from experience. The imagery of light rain through sunshine and being the captain of an old boat during crunch time further illustrates the balance between challenges and triumphs. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the mellow lifestyle, suggesting that no matter the circumstances, maintaining a calm and relaxed attitude is key to navigating life's ups and downs.
