Montego
Millencolin · Home From Home [2002]
Since I don't feel too good guess I don't give much
Maybe I just wanna live
I knock on wood every time I feel human touch
What can I do to fit in?
Kiss up to someone? It will never happen
When alienation hits on me
My empathy is gone, my conscious blackens
And I just spit in your face
When you ask for help
My heart is made of stone
Nodody's best friend, I'm on my defence
Everyone stands alone
Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
Everyone stands alone
I know I get what I give
Funny vibes, what goes around comes around
But yeah, I just wanna live
With someone by my side some kind of close band
Another spit in your face
Every time you need me
I am busy with my own
Nodody's best friend, I'm on my defence
Everyone stands alone
Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
Everyone stands alone
When it all comes down to it we all stand alone
Sometimes I stand alone
Nodody's best friend, I'm on my defence
Everyone stands alone
Another elbow hit, somebody's ego trip
Everyone stands alone
Everyone stands alone
So many times it's been shown
Everyone stands alone
Hearts that are made of stone
Everyone stands alone
When it all comes down to it we all stand alone
Montego
Montego stands as a defining track from Millencolin's 2002 album, Home From Home, capturing the band's signature blend of melodic punk and skate rock energy. Emerging during a period of significant growth for the Swedish group, the recording showcases their ability to balance upbeat rhythms with introspective songwriting. The song reflects the band's evolution from their earlier, more aggressive punk roots into a polished, radio-friendly sound that would define their mid-2000s output. As part of a discography known for its catchy hooks and dynamic instrumentation, Montego exemplifies Millencolin's knack for crafting anthemic tracks that resonate with fans of the genre. The track remains a staple in their live performances, highlighting the enduring appeal of their musical style and the cohesive production quality found throughout the Home From Home era.
