Song #95

The Milk Carton by Madilyn Mei

It was released on January 20, 2023

Fun Fact: It's a song about feeling lost and disconnected from one's home and past. The coyote represents the scary and unpredictable aspects of the world outside the familiarity of home. The refrain "And the birds don't talk like the ones on screen, have they really domesticated me?" suggests that the narrator feels trapped and isolated, possibly comparing themselves to a caged bird. The line "Say, is that the kid from the milk carton? Can I do anything when I'm also missing?" hints at the idea of feeling forgotten or lost, like the missing children on milk cartons.

I THINK I REALLY MISS MY BED, OH WHEN OH WHEN WILL THE NIGHTMARE END

I HAD IT GOOD I HAD IT GOOD AND YET I LEFT AND CANT RETRACE MY STEPS!!!!

THINK I FORGOT A COUPLE THINGS MY BRAIN IS STILL AT HOME HOMES FAR AWAY (STOP TELLING ME ALL ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS)

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT LIFE WAS ONE BIG RACE BUT NOW I KNOW ITS ONE BIG CHASE, OH, AH OH OH OH!!!

YOURE GONNA BE EATEN BY A COYOTE, RUN LITTLE ONE, THOUGH THE PACK MAY FOLLOW!

TWO QUITE THIN THEIR BROTHER FATTER, YOU CAN STILL WIN JUST GOTTA BE, YOU CAN STILL WIN JUST GOTTA BE

‘the milk carton’ by madilyn mei would make such a banger story for a musical. the vibes are immaculate. her voice is so pretty and reminds me of a fairy in the woods.

and the story would be so cool. paired with her other songs, like ‘where no one knows my name’ & ‘gone by morning’, it’d be about a restless soul who isn’t welcome where they live and runs away to find a more fantastical life. maybe they find a quaint hidden town with a dark secret. maybe they find a cult. maybe they go into the city. the possibilities are endless
