Lyrics:

Always the artist
Never the muse
Crave your attention
You don't have a clue
Keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?

Always the poet
Never the poetry
Wanna be somebody you only see
Once in your life but remember forever
Eyes sharp as knife
Hair soft as a feather

Compare me to a
Summer’s day
Something romantic
Yet charmingly clever

I-
Wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Your Euterpe, Erato, Terpsichore
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You
You
You

Always the viewer
Never the view
Never the messy
Yet sweet ingenue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I’d ruin your life
We keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?
Overthink every time that we speak
Then write up a song dedicated to me

I-
Wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Polyhymnia, Clio, Urania, please
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You
You
You

Guess this is what I wanted
What I set out to do
So why do I feel so small?
A fly on the wall?
Someone just notice me
Don’t let me only be
Just what I guess I wanted
Stuck in a bird’s eye view
Tell why do I feel small?
A fly on the wall?
Someone just notice me
Don't let me only be

Always the artist
Never the muse
Crave your attention
You don’t have a clue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I’d ruin your life
Sailor and siren
Just drown in my eyes
Something erotic
That gives butterflies
Call me your pearl
Your sweet Gibson girl
I’m selfish, I’m vain
Just say I’m your world

I wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose
Beg me to be
Your Calliope, Thalia, Melpomene
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I’m your muse
See me the same way that I see-

You

I like the part were madilyn said "It's musing time" and mused all over the place

[aceArwen]

I love how Madi mentioned each one of the 9 Muses from Greek mythology! Such a cool touch

[thewrens_]

the transition from "im your muse" to "see me the same way that i see you" feels like a wide shot of a poet languishing in skylit fields, then a close up of the scratching and scribbling of their parchment.

[Art.the.Crafter]

Another masterpiece from madilyn "oops all bangers" mei

[isacocca]

As an artist yearning for love this is now my life's themesong

[frankish]

Including all the nine muses is such a huge flex, you're the tenth muse madilyn

[MEL-iesg]

It hurts how much I relate. I want to be the one behind the canvas, the one people look at and think "I want to draw her."

[ChemicaLOD]

Kicking, Screaming, and Twirling in bed,
The snippets of this song's been Swirling In my head,
I feel so much glee, I must thank you too
For this masterpiece, I shall flee
Under the trees, is where I shall be

Scratch of a pen, toss of a paper
Why all this labor? I must find a den
The cot I lay, switching the euphony
In my ears, I hear a symphony
Some might say zen, though never the blues
The orchestra I hear, Is Never the Muse

Tried my best to make a decent poem for you,
though the feelings are indescribable,
This song is most desirable,
Puts me in complete bliss,
Thank you so much for this! <33

[Lope]

Who can’t wait for the bard ep?? I heard some of the unreleased songs at her ny show and they were amazing!

[imthefishandshesmygills]

I just discovered Madilyn Mei, and the only way I can describe her voice is that she sounds like a bird song, whimsical :)

[LemonadeLovera]

this song makes me wanna jump into the water and float around aimlessly till the sun sets

[vil_luvr]

"We love you Madilyn Mei!!" we all say in unison

[childeofepickness]

always the artist, never the mews 🤫🧏‍♂️ 😔😔💔

jokes aside this song is so pretty !!

[Odysseusgaming]

i have been dealing with depression, adhd and schizophrenia since i was 10, and i've just been bingeing your music today and it has made me feel happy, like im a new listener but it just makes me feel happier, so thank you

[Diarydear_]

This is kinda relatable as a artist like me, frfr. I have this crush back then, we talk and are friend, I always draws his face and sometimes give it to him as a gift hoping he'll get the hint. He was the type of guy who's lonely and quiet, always in the corner, I just admire him across the room, he's smart and handsome. I like him very much and wanted to confess my feelings but I'm scared of getting rejected so instead of letting my feelings win, I stay as a friend and stays loyal to someone I don't have a chance with. That didn't last long, though. I found out that he already have someone, I am happy also hurt, but ofcourse I didn't let him notice it. Slowly and slowly as time pass by, I ignored him, feeling the weight of my heart that's too heavy and will get more heavy everytime I see his face and his smile. Now, I haven't heard of him, but I hope he's doing fine with his girl of his life.

At 3:23 she goes into this more spoken vocals? Idk the term but i really love it. I notice what some artists are really good at or what they do in every piece and as far as i can tell, Madilyn does this more spoken part really well. Theres also parts like this in partner in crime, one of my favorite of her songs. I just really like this part anyway

[miragetheshadow]

I never have anyone in mind with this song, so I listen to it with the perspective of serenading the universe itself. I find such beauty in the smallest of things.
So I dance and admire the ways my body moves and how the spiraling random chance of infinity landed on me, right now, right there. A marvel of biology.

[alexejv.]

Songs like this, where I find out other people have the same thoughts like me, make me feel so seen and way less lonely

[catherineknorr]

Been playing this song a lot this weekend. I need the reminder that there are beautiful feelings and thoughts. I know it's not even about that but it's helping me. I need to feel some sparkly feelings. Also I just realized madilyn mei sings the way a butterfly looks when it flies and that's really cool.

[IsometimesArt]

This song definitely passed the musing test 👍👍
