You, my compass and my sea.
And I know you're still with me.
You, my compass and my sea.
Oh, I hope you can hear me.
Follows billion miles away!
Cause I love you dearly.
Follows billion miles away!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're my only friend in need!
Green, broken glass ocean.
You break me in slow motion.
No map, no message.
It's the deep, blue screen I know.
Cause I know you're still with me,
You, my compass and my sea.
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're the only thing I need!
Cause I've been around two times and found
That you're my only friend in need!

The lyrics to "Milk & Black Spiders" by Foals contain a deep sense of longing, as the singer expresses their desire for someone who has left them, yet still feels fully present in their life. The repeated line, "You, my compass and my sea," suggests that the person they are addressing was a guiding force in their life, and that their absence has left the singer feeling lost at sea. Despite the distance between them, the singer feels a connection to this person that transcends physical boundaries, and hopes that they can still hear them even though they are "a billion miles away." The repetition of "Cause I've been around two times and found / That you're the only thing I need" further drives home the point that this person is irreplaceable in the singer's life.
The metaphor of a "green, broken glass ocean" and being broken "in slow motion" echoes the feeling of being caught in limbo or uncertain waters, unsure of how to move forward without the person they are addressing. The final repetition of "Cause I've been around two times and found / That you're my only friend in need" brings the song full circle, as the singer acknowledges that this person is more than just a past love - they are a constant source of comfort and support.
Overall, "Milk & Black Spiders" is a poignant exploration of the lingering impact that a past love can have on one's life, and the ways in which that love can continue to shape and guide even after the physical relationship has ended.

¡Oh! Sé que aún estás conmigo.
Tú mi brújula y mi mar.
Y sé que estás todavía conmigo.
Tú mi brújula y mi mar.
¡Oh! Ojalá puedas escucharme.
¡Sigues a millones de millas de distancia!
