MILK
Garbage/Massive Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the mother

Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love you for the mother

Mother fountain
Only Your not at all

The most black road
Son kid child
Love you for God
Love you for the mother





God stares to Marvel
Only love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Garbage/Massive Attack's "Milk" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, the repetition of "Love you for God, love you for the mother" suggests that the song may be exploring connections between spiritual and maternal love. The lines "You're not my eater, I'm not your food" may be a metaphor for a relationship that is not based on consumption or possession, but on mutual respect and desire. The imagery of being eaten or consumed could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the loss of individuality in a relationship.


The lines "Eat me in the space within my heart" may be a reference to the intimate physical and emotional connection between two people. The reference to a "mother fountain" could be interpreted as a symbol of abundance, nurturing and the life force. The lines "The most black road, son kid child" are somewhat enigmatic, but could be interpreted as a reference to the challenges of life, youth and the passage of time.
