Milk
Sweet Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tossing and turning you'll never figure out a way
Harder to be free
When you look at me
Hoping to find me awake on this lonely bed
Sleep on this bed
Tossing and turning you'll never figure out a way
Harder to be free
When you look at me
Hoping to find me awake in this lonely bed
And it's true
You will drift away
and I would mind
Yes, it's true
And I know
You will drift away
Don't you drift away
Don't you drift away
No I would mind
Here's to long life
You will drift away
and I would mind
Here's to you
I know
You will drift away
and I would mind
Yes it's true
I know
You will drift away
Don't you drift away
Don't you drift away
No, I would mind
here's to long love
You will drift away
and I would mind
Here's to
The lyrics of Sweet Trip's song "Milk" seem to revolve around the theme of sleeplessness, loneliness, and the fear of losing someone important. The lines "Sleep on this bed, tossing and turning you'll never figure out a way" paint a picture of someone unable to get a good night's sleep, struggling with their own thoughts and emotions. This is further reinforced by the phrase "harder to be free when you look at me" which suggests a sense of entrapment or captivity, possibly in a relationship.
The repeated line "And I know you will drift away" implies a sense of impending loss or separation, adding to the melancholic feel of the song. The singer appears to be pleading with the other person to stay, using the phrase "Here's to long life/love" as a toast to their future together. The line "Don't you drift away, no I would mind" shows that the loss of this person would be deeply felt and is something to be avoided at all costs.
The overall mood of the song is quiet and reflective, with dreamy and swirling layers of sound that seem to evoke a sense of introspection and contemplation. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the meaning of the song could be seen as a meditation on the fragility of human relationships and the importance of cherishing them while we can.
