This song is about drugs as mentioned before. I will give a line by line breakdown... I guess.
"Straight lines that unwind you" - Lines of coke, dope, whatever make her at ease
"She does a little thing with her eye that says, "We're off soon"" - She is excited to be off work or whatever so she can go use
"She says the bleeding's incidental 'cause she's so cool" - Who cares about the side effects of drug use, they aren't that bad.
"She says it's no fun if you've only a bottle of wine" - Oh, you only drink wine? Thats no fun. I wish you had coke.
"And now she's doing it all the time" - self-explanatory
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
"Slow down" - This is matty speaking to her
"Yeah, I want you" - this is her speaking to Matty
"She does a little bit on the sly that shows what she's up to" - She only does a little and tries to keep it a secret, but he knows and she knows he knows.
"She started talking about pretending she's listening" - If you have known any drug addict you get this line
"It won't mend your heart if it's only a couple of lines" - This is kind of confusing... Not sure if hes saying that only a little won't really solve your issues and do more (sarcastically)... or that she shouldn't do it at all..
And now she's doing it all the time
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
Yeah, she's doing it all the time
I didn't really look too much in to it at first but it just hit me one day that its about drugs and its very obvious. The title "Milk" it typical Matty ambiguity. Probably a reference to Clockwork Orange as mentioned before. This song is about early stages of drug addiction... That innocence slowly being shed.
