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.)
