ILUV Lyrics – Gazo

ILUV Lyrics Meaning

[Pré-refrain]
In this part of the song, the artist sets a gritty, almost detached tone. He starts by describing himself smoking, creating a thick cloud of smoke, and observing a woman passing by, wondering if she’s interested in something casual. His friends ask if she’s curious or looking to “test” him, implying a sense of constant, shallow interactions. He mentions his confidence, claiming control over women, symbolized by the phrase “in her abdomen, it’s my domain.” He also references using drügs (like “zaza” – mar!juana) to escape the reality of a fake world. The mention of a ready Glock (gun) suggests a dangerous, constantly alert lifestyle. Despite his wild actions and substances, he admits that even when heavily intoxicated, he can’t bring himself to say “I love,” reflecting his inability to express deeper emotions.

[Refrain]
The refrain repeats a powerful theme: no matter how intoxicated he is, the artist can’t say “I love you.” This reflects emotional detachment, even in moments when he might be expected to feel affectionate. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes how deep this numbness goes, showing that no matter the situation, even when he’s in an altered state, he struggles with expressing love. It’s a clear reflection of the artist’s inner conflict, where he’s caught between fleeting physical desires and a deeper inability or unwillingness to connect emotionally.

[Couplet]
In this verse, Gazo dives into a gritty, street life narrative. He begins by reflecting on how people live according to their circumstances, questioning whose fault it is when women claim to love him, yet he wonders if they’re truly interested or just after something else. He mentions his heavy drug use, like codeine, which he consumes more than caffeine. He also acknowledges his past dealing in hard drügs, reflecting on how he used to hustle for money. The lines about a woman calling him when she’s in need show how toxic dependencies are formed. He questions whether she’s genuinely interested in him or just using him for his body or resources. Gazo recognizes the karma in his life, the cycle of violence and pain. He also expresses that he’s not bothered by drama but focused on making money. Finally, he alludes to his readiness to defend himself with his Glock, referencing past conflicts and showing how the street life has shaped his hardened persona.

[Pré-refrain]
This section repeats the same theme as the first pré-refrain, reinforcing the same ideas. The artist continues to describe his lifestyle: smoking, engaging with women in superficial ways, and using substances to numb himself. The gun is still nearby, signaling that he’s always on edge and prepared for danger. He again notes how hard it is to express love, showing that even in the haze of his intoxication, he remains emotionally closed off, reinforcing the idea that his experiences in life have shaped him into someone who struggles with vulnerability and real emotional connection.

[Refrain]
The refrain repeats again, further emphasizing the emotional distance the artist feels. No matter how much he’s under the influence, he remains unable to express love. This repetition underlines how deeply ingrained this detachment is, showing that it’s not just a temporary feeling but part of his persona and outlook on relationships. It drives home the idea that the artist is emotionally guarded, struggling with love in a world full of fleeting connections and superficial interactions.
