If I name you, it seems that you get closer
And so I know why the sky and the sea
What are things or art good for?
If you come but you don't stay
Lisan, pass me that teiko, that I'm gonna fly, I promise
Owner of my freedom, therefore of my loneliness at the same time
For every day asleep, for every night awake
I seek calm because I know that happiness is a moment
What everyone wants isn't that cool, I'm sick of this dumb life
That's why I call the retreat, nobody records, nobody sings
I died for what I'm passionate about, I smile toothy
I don't want more wh*res, more drugs, my bed already wants to be alone
Now, retreat
I wanna go to sleep for now
Everything is too much and cloying
I know that it's not there if it conditions me to
If I name you, it seems that you get closer
And so I know why the sky and the sea
What are things or art good for?
If you come but you don't stay
If I name you, it seems that you get closer
And so I know why the sky and the sea
If the present is dark, the future is always clearer
If her chest is plastic, it's not transparent, babe, babe
With my savings-account values
Everybody steals but how many are crooks?
They're faking, like nuts dancing
They make it hard for me to heal from fright, Zecca
What everyone wants isn't that cool, I'm sick of this dumb life
That's why I call the retreat, nobody records, nobody sings
I died for what I'm passionate about, I smile toothy
I don't want more wh*res, more drugs, my bed already wants to be alone
Now, retreat
I wanna go to sleep for now
Everything is too much and cloying
I know that it's not there if it conditions me to
If I name you, it seems that you get closer
And so I know why the sky and the sea
What are things or art good for?
If you come but you don't stay
If I name you, it seems that you get closer
And so I know why the sky and the sea
What are things or art good for?
If you come but you don't

SONG MEANING

RETIRADA feels like Milo J hitting the pause button on a noisy party and stepping onto a quiet balcony to breathe. Throughout the song he keeps repeating that simply naming someone almost pulls them closer, yet if they never stay, what is the point of all the art, the sky, or the sea? That bittersweet question frames the whole track: fame, drugs, nightlife, and even creative success lose their sparkle when they do not bring real connection. Milo wrestles with the double-edged sword of being free and therefore also alone, finally deciding that peace is worth more than the empty buzz.

Instead of bragging about excess, he calls for a retreat. He is tired of the “vida boba” that everyone else seems to chase, so he turns the microphone off, sends the crowd home, and chooses a clean pillow over cheap thrills. Happiness, he says, is only a moment, so why fill the rest with noise? By the end of the song Milo has traded late-night chaos for early-night sleep, proving that sometimes the boldest move in life is simply walking away.
