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-

I like the part were madilyn said "It's musing time" and mused all over the place
-
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.
-
I love how Madi mentioned each one of the 9 Muses from Greek mythology! Such a cool touch
-
Another masterpiece from madilyn "oops all bangers" mei
-
Who can’t wait for the bard ep?? I heard some of the unreleased songs at her ny show and they were amazing!
-
It’s almost embarrassing how perfectly you captured my feelings…
-
always the artist, never the mews 🤫🧏♂️ 😔😔💔 jokes aside this song is so pretty !!
-
Including all the nine muses is such a huge flex, you're the tenth muse madilyn
-
I just discovered Madilyn Mei, and the only way I can describe her voice is that she sounds like a bird song, whimsical :)
-
this song makes me wanna jump into the water and float around aimlessly till the sun sets
-
Bro I hate it when it's a madilyn mei playlist but then you start hear Taylor swift in the middle of it
-
This song definitely passed the musing test 👍👍
-
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."
-
hi madilyn!!! idk if youll remember me but today i was at your tour in nc!! (i had a sticker on my face and a crochet bandana i made!) i cried so much, you have no idea how influential you are to me. ive been suicidal for a long time and have had trouble being happy and your music and pure joy helps me so much, just listening to your songs puts a smile on my face. i genuinely cannot stop crying, i really hope you understand how much joy you have brought me. thank you so much, madilyn mei.
