MILK
Cheats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's keeping someone that's impossible
Fixing your bed's automatic
It's choosing a side that becomes a chore
Leaving your home is easy
It's keeping this one that's a struggle
I'll grieve at night
Learn to breathe
Trying to sleep, there's a terror
When thinking of who is responsible
Grieving alone's never easy
It's watching you cry that's impossible
Sleeping alone, it's just breathing
It's waking without you that's all messed up
I'll grieve at night
Just sleep tight
Learn to breathe
I'll grieve at night
Just sleep tight
Learn to breathe
But I'm still wide awake
Grieving alone's never easy
It's watching you cry that's impossible
Sleeping alone is just breathing
It's waking without you that's all fucked up
I lost my heart
When I kept it from you
I lost my heart
When I kept it from you
The song "Milk" by Cheats talks about the struggles of keeping a relationship alive. The song's opening lyrics "Living alone is easy, It's keeping someone that's impossible" presents the idea that it's easy to live by yourself but being in a relationship and keeping it alive is challenging. The next line "Fixing your bed's automatic, It's choosing a side that becomes a chore" portrays that the mundane daily activities can become taxing when you have to constantly choose the right thing in a relationship with your partner.
In the next verse, the lyrics state "Trying to sleep, there's a terror when thinking of who is responsible" which highlights the anxiety that comes with thinking about the things that could go wrong in the relationship. Grief portrayed in the lyrics is not just about the loss of someone but also the fear of losing a relationship. "Grieving alone's never easy, It's watching you cry that's impossible" talks about how it's difficult to deal with the grief of losing a relationship, and it's even more challenging to watch someone whom you are close to suffering because of the loss.
The chorus "I'll grieve at night, Just sleep tight, Learn to breathe" presents the idea of handling the pain and feeling of sadness of losing the relationship alone. These lines suggest that one must learn to breathe and take control of the situation. The lyrics "I lost my heart when I kept it from you" portray the idea of how not sharing and opening up with someone can lead to losing you everything. The song "Milk" is an emotional song that captures the struggles of keeping a relationship alive.

I have been looking for this song for such a long time. I herd it only once in a radio station. The only thing I know is that the vocals sounds like ernville. Then I search the band members of ernville and it led me here. Finally.
