"Montilu" is a song by Danish artist Gilli. The lyrics talk about loyalty, struggles, and the obstacles faced by Gilli and his crew. The term "Montilu" is a slang term used to refer to oneself and one's crew. The song begins by stating that many people change just to earn money, but Gilli and his crew remain loyal until they achieve their goals. They don't think about others and have no need for them. They are there for each other until the end, even in difficult situations in Copenhagen that can make them lose hope. Instead, they express themselves with the sound "uah-uah-uah-ah-ah" and have no intention of proving themselves to anyone. Gilli then talks about the hardships they have experienced, including cold winters and summers, attending funerals rather than weddings, and losing loved ones at a young age. Problems arise quickly and can escalate rapidly. Despite this, Gilli reiterates that he doesn't need anyone and doesn't think about others. He hopes that people can see what they have witnessed through their eyes, but they won't change anything. By the time drama occurs and tears are shed, it is often too late to make a difference. The chorus repeats the sound "la-la-la" and emphasizes the presence of Montilu in their lives. Gilli acknowledges the challenges they have faced since childhood, comparing the world to a jungle filled with snakes. He no longer trusts even himself, so why should he trust others? He is only there for those who have him, and things are moving too slowly. Even the closest people turn their backs, but Gilli questions if it will ever affect him. The song concludes by emphasizing the sound "Montilu" and reiterating that they have been through it all together. Despite the difficulties and betrayals faced, they still stand strong. Gilli asks for the sound of a phone ringing, symbolizing a call for help or support. The song ends with a repetition of the word "Montilu." The song portrays a sense of brotherhood, loyalty, and resilience in the face of challenges. It communicates Gilli's determination to stay true to himself and his crew, regardless of the obstacles they encounter.
