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.
