2415 (Inget lagom, inget lugn)

Written & produced: Maya Nalani
Week 30 & Song 30 of Project 2024, where I write, produce and release 1 song per week.

Lyrics:
It’s just monkey business
That something in between us could ever break even 
Your negotiations 
They read like funny papers but your talk is a sweet thing

Enough to get me outta my mind outta my mind 
Just get…
Just get out…
No monkey business allowed

Said I was a poet 
Flattered cuz I Didn’t think I’d come to regret it
The way you wanted me felt good 
Begging me to wait for you then left me with nothing
You didn’t even call…

Suddenly you’re outta of my life, outta my life
I want you outta my mind

No I don’t ever think about you 
No I don’t ever cry about you
When am I gonna finally get it?
All is fair in this monkey business
So I won’t sign your funny papers
Cuz I don’t want your empty favours
When am I gonna finally get it?
All is fair in this monkey business

I hear you on the phone now…
I’ve made hits and what’s she done 
I am wise and she’s too young 
Clearly felt the need to me
I don’t know anything 
The people who feel the need to tell me I don’t know anything, yet seem unable to teach

The irony of you is too much

You're a rich man cuz you got some money
Smart man cuz you stole some credit
So when am I gonna get it? 
All is fair in monkey business

No I don’t ever think about you 
No I don’t ever cry about you
When am I gonna finally get it?
All is fair in this monkey business
So I won’t sign your funny papers
Cuz I don’t want your empty favours
When am I gonna finally get it?
All is fair in this monkey business

Week 30 (monkey business)

Week 62 (Tomorrow, cus i'm done for today)

Week 89 of my project to write, produce and release 1 song per week!

Week 89 (magnolia/hall of mirrors)

Cynical might get you far. Ignorant might take you up. Though cynical and ignorant might be easier an artifice, I'll tell you now it’s a thief to meaning. 

Empathy might hurt sometimes. Love might show you the world is in pain. But empathy and love, it comes straight from the vain. 

I don’t want to live without a shadow of doubt. I don’t want to live an unexamined life. We’ve never been in the same place before. Time to turn and face the changes.
