A Million Men Lyrics

Miss Maggie was way too young to understand
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands
Why she woke up to strange men
They tore her to pieces and she couldn't comprehend
Why she was locked up in a basement filled with men
Should've gone to school, but instead she did them

Don't touch me, I'm fragile
I'm bitter in my heart
Mama sold me, for candy
And I was ruined from the start

Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how will my friends understand?
Im five years old, sleeping with a million men

All grown up and her body has decayed
All those promiscuous games she had to play
No, she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase
She's trying to look at things in a bright way
Sees the light peekin through the end of the hallway
No, she's tryna, tryna, tryna escape

I'm running full force, dear
But its harder when your bones
I'm weak-kneed, but I'm flying out of this hell hole

Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how will my friends understand?
I'm ten years old, running from a million men

Finally the light is coming close
No turning back, run full force
Angels swoop down and grab me
And now I'm safe away from the million men who raised me

Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me how will my boyfriend understand?
I'm seventeen, with a history of a million men, men

A million men, men
A million men, a million men
A, a million, a million men
A million men, men
A Million Men

Cover art for A Million Men lyrics by Melanie Martinez

I think that this song is about a little girl and how her mother sold her for "candy"(drugs/money). She was sold to these men who raped and abused her in a basement. "They cut me up in places I don't even understand". So, years passes and she is now 10,still with these men in the same basement. One day, the men accidentally left the basement door open, so she runs out the door and through the hallway. Another few years has passed, and now she is 17. She now has a boyfriend, but she has never talked to anyone about what happened to her. Since she hasn't opened up about it, she doesn't know how people would react, and if her boyfriend would still love her. ( This actually reminds me of a book called "The Cellar" by Natasha Preston. It is AMAZING, so you could search for it on Wattpad, or buy it from a store.)
