Maya - original by Chris Phillips

This is a song I just wrote about a month ago. That's my dog Max hanging out next to me. He loves this song. You can see that he gets really excited around the 3:50 mark. Thanks!


Lyrics To Maya:
v1
Looking out of the window
Leaning over the pane
You can see by my face I can't describe
The moment's not in the distance
But right infront of my face
You promised that you'd be with me through the long dark nights

chorus
I don't know where Maya will lead me today (repeat)
What's my Maya say?

v2
At night I only dream music
The only movement is dance
Maya's gift is her death defying trance
She only speaks in a whisper
I only hear it at night
I spend the days searching for her light

chorus
I don't know where Maya will lead me today
I don't know if Maya will lead me astray
What's my Maya say?

v3
Sometimes I can't understand her
Maya makes me feel just like I'm mentally bandaged
It's okay, I know I can't force it
She tells me to let go of the past and the future
Well that's fine but easier said than done
My brain intent to ruin the fun
So I submit to the beauty of Maya
And just when I thought I couldn't get any higher
The sky is speckled with light and I don't know if I'll see her tonight cuz she
Only appears in my dreams which is
Why I wake and fall apart at the seams cuz
I can't hear what she's trying to say

(outro)
Last part, I think I'm the only
One to have this woman to hold me
Inside I try not to fear it
Maya lets me know the only way I can hear it is with my heart
What's my Maya say??

Maya what you say?

Hehe, who is it/what do you mean by it?

[morningbell71]

It's the word that Aztecs gave to describe their mythology that guides people through the four stages of life. It's a dreamlike weave of images up for interpretation like all mythology. This song is also about getting to the truth of things by living in the moment and not past or future.
