The Maze Lyrics

I notice you when you're noticing me
Breaking the habit, you're watching me sleep
Oh, give me some time, let me learn how to speak
I'm a maze to you

I never mind about bothering you
I'm trying to decide if I'll bother with you
So, feed me your wisdom and breathe me your truth
I'm amazing

Wish me a wonder and wish me to sleep
You don't have to wander to hear when I speak
There is nothing I've got when I die that I keep
It's amazing

Somebody said it's unspeakable love
Somebody said it's unspeakable love
You don't believe I can speak well at all
You're a maze to me

First of a thousand to write on the wall
It's only beginning, it's swallowing us
Somebody said it's unspeakable love
It's amazing

You lift that burden off of me
You lift that burden off of me
You lift that burden off of me

What is the Meaning of The Maze?

In this deeply introspective piece, the artist explores the complexities of human relationships and self-perception. The 'maze' symbolizes the intricate and often confusing nature of understanding oneself and others. The song grapples with feelings of vulnerability – "I'm a maze to you" – indicating a struggle to open up and be understood. Conversely, "You're a maze to me" suggests difficulty in comprehending someone else's thoughts and emotions. The recurring phrase "unspeakable love" underscores the ineffable quality of deep affection, which is profound yet hard to articulate. Additionally, the line "You lift that burden off of me" alludes to relief found in mutual understanding or acceptance within a relationship. Ultimately, it's about navigating through life's labyrinthine journey and the solace we find in shared experiences of love, pain, and growth.
