MILK
Coco Rosie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Milk" by Coco Rosie seem to be cryptic and metaphorical, conveying the idea of nourishment, nurturing, and protection. The phrase "I want to give you my milk" can be interpreted in many ways, but the most common one is that it refers to the unconditional love and emotional support that a mother gives to her child through breastfeeding. This song, therefore, speaks to the concept of maternal instinct and motherhood.
However, the lyrics can also evoke a different meaning, which could be related to the protective aspects of love in general. These lyrics could be interpreted as referring to offering oneself as a provider and protector, with phrases like "I'll be your momma now / I'll protect you from harm" - this is further alluded to in the music video for the song, wherein two childlike characters are seen taking care of each other.
Additionally, the song includes other lyrics that deal with survival, a theme that is often associated with motherhood. Lines like "I'll keep you safe from the wolves" and "I'll sneeze in your hair" suggest that the singer will do whatever it takes to keep her child secure and alive.

I want to give you my milk.
I want to share my creative expression and emotions with you. Just as milk is nourishing and essential, my artistic expression is a vital part of my being that I want to share with you.

My brother My only kin I'm lost in tears in the mirror again Lord knows I have no conscience Put a doubt into my mind Where your voice, it still remains Lord knows I still need you But your far away Lost in some playground In Disneyland Take me with you We'll play to the end Then fall off of the face of the earth

I love this song... That's elegant and sad song at the same time. Unfortunately, I can't find that one on Spotify and Tidal. I'd love to listen to it without needing to uso the YT.
