2- 23-year-old Dylan might be destined for pop glory, but the influence of more alternative sounds colours her tongue-in-cheek characterisation of herself as “a wannabe rock star in a pop star’s body”.
Her candidness and determination is part of what has amassed her an incredibly loyal and passionate fan base to form around her via her own sold out headline performances across the globe including a mammoth UK & US stadium tour alongside Ed Sheeran and her own sold-out worldwide headline shows.
Growing up, she was raised on a diet of classic rock. “My career is entirely my dad’s fault – he’s very straight-down-the-line but he brought me up on a lot of rock’n’roll like AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Rainbow,” she explains.
With impeccable pop anthems destined to continue hooking people into her world, she’s keeping her ambitions fittingly bold. “I want to be respected as a songwriter – for me it really is just about the music,” she explains. “And I want to headline Wembley – that’s everything I’ve had my sights on.”

Sour Milk
Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just me on you
Breathless in the night
Now this thing between us
Just leaves us
Only dead inside
Maybe we are out of luck
I'm dreaming of another's touch
I only want you when your miles away I love the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is
This means nothing
You leave a bad taste in my mouth
I'm craving something
Worth more than
What we're doing now
Maybe we are out of luck
Begging to be freed
I'm dreaming of another's touch
I only want you when your miles away all of the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through
Like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is
Our love is
Our love is sour
Our love is getting bruised
It's feeling kinda old
It's feeling kinda used
Your love has got me bored
I'm craving something new
Now our love is sour
Our love is sour
I only want you when your miles away all of the hate
I only need you when I'm getting drunk to numb the pain
I'll only hold you when there's no one else to call my name
I'll only want you when we're through like milk you cannot use
Cause our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is
Our love is sour
Our love is sour
Our love is
The lyrics of Dylan's song "Sour Milk" depict the crumbling of a romantic relationship that has lost its meaning and has become sour. The opening lines "When we started, Just me on you, Breathless in the night" suggest that the relationship began with passion and excitement. However, the subsequent lines "Now this thing between us, Just leaves us, Only dead inside" indicate that over time, the relationship has lost its spark and has become devoid of emotion. The singer is unable to find fulfillment in the relationship anymore, and they feel trapped and suffocated by it.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's conflicting feelings towards their partner. On the one hand, they only want them when they are physically distant and cannot have them. On the other hand, they only need them to numb their pain and feelings of emptiness. The line "I'll only want you when we're through like milk you cannot use" is particularly poignant as it likens their love to sour milk that is no longer consumable. The singer knows that the relationship has passed its expiration date and cannot be salvaged.
In the second verse, the singer expresses their desire for something more meaningful and fulfilling. They want to break free from the routine and find a love that excites and fulfills them. The final lines of the song "Our love is getting bruised, It's feeling kinda old, It's feeling kinda used, Your love has got me bored, I'm craving something new, Now our love is sour" emphasize the singer's frustration, boredom, and dissatisfaction with the current state of their relationship.

When we started
At the beginning of our relationship
Just me on you
It was just the two of us

Just leaves us
Is causing us to feel
Only dead inside
Emotionally unresponsive and numb

Perhaps our relationship is doomed
Begging to be freed
We are hoping for a release from our predicament
I'm dreaming of another's touch
I'm fantasizing about someone else
