MILK
Jack Stauber's Micropop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What kind of milk were you?
What kind of life did you live through?
Did you know love?
Will you rest in peace?
Did you have a family?
How was the view from the shelf, did you ever believe in yourself?

What kind of milk were you? (Wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa)
What kind of life did you live through? (Wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa)
Did your life drip rich with calcium?
Did they laugh at you, or did you laugh with them?




Dairy beloved, your days are gone
The grocery list goes on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jack Stauber's Micropop's song "Milk" are quite intriguing and thought-provoking. The song appears to explore the life of a carton of milk as if it were a living being. The first lines ask "What kind of milk were you?" and "What kind of life did you live through?" indicating that the milk had a story to tell, a journey that it went through during its short lifespan. The questions "Did you know love?" and "Will you rest in peace?" suggest that the milk had a sense of being, a concept that is quite interesting when viewed in the context of milk which is often viewed as a simple product of commerce.


The next set of questions deal more directly with the experience of the milk. "Did your life drip rich with calcium?" asks us to consider the nutritional value of milk and how it contributed to the life of the product. The question "Did they laugh at you, or did you laugh with them?" is perhaps the most interesting of all the questions as it implies that the milk may have had some level of self-awareness, that it was capable of feeling emotions and engaging with other things around it. It is quite poetic and quite an original take on the topic.


Overall, the song "Milk" is a fascinating piece that explores the concept of life and existence in a very unique way.
