MAYA is about marketing/business. The name is an acronym for “Most Advanced Yet Acceptable” which is an idea that describes the reason literally anything is popular in today’s culture. It was coined by a man named Raymond Loewy, who is the father of industrial design, known to have “shaped America”.
There is a video of me sitting down at sunrise going in-depth about every song on this EP. Here is a link to the video for this one!
[INTRO]
Look at the rats, then look at the race.
(Most advanced, yet acceptable,
this is next level, next level)
Each of them got their very own first place.
Breathe out the pay to meet with the gain,
(No advantages to rejecting
what gets better, gets better)
as we observe the freedom and pain.
[VERSE 1]
See it, feel it, hear it, and do it and then
fill the cracks and crack them open again.
You and I are like the sky and the sea.
You and I are part of each other at least.
[CHORUS]
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
(Maya-ah, ma-a-ya-a-a-oh, oh)
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
[VERSE 2]
These are the keys that do unlock every time
movement’s needed to unblock every line.
you can’t erase what you can’t mistake
cause human imperfection will always remains.
We just stay tryna go in and out,
we go up and we’re down, aye.
These are directions that we
couldn’t live without, aye.
Let all the pieces smother into the dust
cause they all be swept away
with the whip of a gust, some day.
[CHORUS]
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
(Ma-e-e-e-e-e-e-ya-o-o-oh-o-oh)
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
[VERSE 2]
Most advanced yet acceptable this is next level.
No advantages to rejecting what gets better.
When these trends do reveal what expands,
I see love and hate suffocating each other where they end.
To reproduce and survive we super multiply, aye.
conducive to fly above all of the cries, aye.
Markets and businesses,
and pockets and pictures are
so hollowed for living mocks
Samsara intuitively.
[CHORUS]
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
(May, may, may, ma-may, ma-may, may
May, may, may, ma-may, ma-may go-oh)
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
[VERSE 3]
Dance with the image and twirl it around.
Make it prettier while it’s falling and down.
Take all the guns, and put them on the ground.
Take all the floods, and put them in the clouds.
[CHORUS]
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
(Maya-ah, ma-a-ya-a-a-oh, oh)
May maya maya maya,
may maya maya maya, go.
