	Here's an interesting poem that mentions the term "black milk": http://www.certando.net/celan.html "death fugue" Haven't figured out what the poem means though.

	Is someone giving her oral? Is that the story?

	I, too, love this song... Mezzanine owns.

	@vitalic - had to think of this poem too. it's about the mass murder of the jews in auschwitz in WW2. black milk might be a symbol of hopelessness and despair.

	The Massives always write cryptic and obscure lyrics... no idea what's this one about.

	this song, i think, is about someone "eating" metaphorically her ego, and taking atvantage of her. someone she loves deeply enough to sacrifice for. they put her down and make them more confident about themselves. When she's making references to God, she's talking about sacrifices made at an alter. Mother is a little bit tougher. I think she's talking about some symbol of maturnity, and Mother fountain, is like the pool that one drinks from to replinish or rejuvinate their self. Like a fountain of love. Or mother could be like the catholic symbol of Mother Mary. I'm not sure really.

	I think you are pretty on point Phrogex. The sacrifice for someone she loves who eats away at her. Milk is to me a symbol of nurturing, in this case she is getting black milk.

	Her voice.....is like magic on this song. But I saw them at the apollo a few weeks ago on the 11th and they've taken the Harry Manfred sample out since they are no longer using samples.
