Discover the story of the song > Black Milk – Massive Attack

The song is about love that is not traditional, it's about loving someone deeply for who they are and not for what they can offer. Through the use of metaphor, the protagonist expresses that they don't want to be consumed by their partner, but rather they want to be loved and appreciated for who they are. The chorus repeats that this love is for God and for the Mother, meaning that it is pure and divine.
