Mother's milk
Emmi

Waiting every minute of every single day
Waiting every minute for this to go away
Come and find me I think I've got lost
Come and rise me you must
Oh find me I think I've got lost
Oh find me you must, you must

Waiting for acceptance, wait in every way
Hope to find the night one in all the parts I play
Come and lift me I think I'm too deep
Come and help me I'm weak
Oh search me I think I'm misplaced
Oh search me, it's not too late

Mother's milk I long from you
Mother's milk soft and smooth
I need from you

Back to yellow childhood, the place where I belong
Back inside my sunlight and no of nothing wrong
Come and take me, I wish that I could go
Come and pure me I've grown




Oh see me and see that I still fear
Oh love me I'm here I'm here

Overall Meaning

The song "Mother's Milk" by Emmi is an emotional ballad that touches on themes of longing, loss, and seeking comfort. The song opens with the lyrics "Waiting every minute of every single day, waiting every minute for this to go away," which sets the tone for the rest of the song.

The chorus of the song, "Mother's milk I long from you, Mother's milk soft and smooth, I need from you," is a clear reference to the comforting nourishment that a mother provides to her child. The singer is seeking this same sense of comfort and safety, but from an undefined source - it may be a literal mother figure or simply a symbol for a sense of security they are lacking in their life.


As the song progresses, the singer continues to express their feelings of being lost and misplaced, and longing for a return to a simpler, happier time. The final line of the song, "Oh love me I'm here I'm here," speaks to the singer's desire to be seen and loved for who they are, despite their struggles.


Overall, "Mother's Milk" is a poignant and moving song that explores universal experiences of loss, longing, and seeking comfort and acceptance.
