The five members of MAU project met in 2003, at the European Film College (Denmark), coming from Denmark, Portugal, France, Germany and Israel.
Composed by Pablo (vocals), Jonas (guitar), Pia (vocals), Luis (vocals/programming) and Shir (vocals), "MAU" stands for Man and Unable, name of their first released album.
Seven songs were composed and recorded by MAU at the EFC facilities. At the same time, two music videos were released: "Prick (I am)" an hillarious naughty video avaliable on youtube, and "I need a priest", avaliable on their website (www.projectmau.com).
With the support of friends, colleagues and teachers at the EFC, what started out as an experimental project based on samples and loops of everyday sounds, became a full-time job for the project members.
MAU project left Denmark in May 2004 to promote their work worldwide. The MAU's first album was mixed in Portugal (released in June 2005), as the band played some gigs to test the songs live. "Fragil", "Lounge" and "Santiago Alquimista" were some of the places where the band played so far.
Anyway
MAU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we watch the waves crashing in and out,
And only they know what we've found
And it almost feels like day time now
Somehow we gonna make it through
I'll break every single rule for you
Well I'll try to least anyway
We decided to turn our world around,
We can drive away from this loser town
Have to escape or go insane,
A thousand miles an hour through the rain.
And we're not sure if we even know
Just where we are or where we're gonna go
But we're not afraid, not tonight
Gonna try all we can to get it right
The lyrics to MAU's song Anyway are quite poetic and insightful, telling a story of uncertainty, adventure, and a desire for change. The opening lines "And I'm not sure what this is all about, As we watch the waves crashing in and out, And only they know what we've found, And it almost feels like day time now" evoke a sense of confusion and a search for meaning, as the singer watches the ocean, which seems to hold its own secrets. The reference to the daylight breaking symbolizes hope that maybe things will start to become clearer, even if just a little bit.
The song then shifts to a more determined tone, as the singer declares a willingness to "break every single rule" for their partner, expressing a strong commitment to the relationship. The upbeat melody and energetic tempo of the song give a sense of excitement and adventure, as the characters decide to turn their world around, leaving their small town and driving away at a break-neck speed. The final lines "But we're not afraid, not tonight Gonna try all we can to get it right" suggest a sense of determination to take risks and live life to the fullest, even if the future is unknown.
Overall, Anyway is a song about embracing change, taking risks, and finding hope in uncertain times. The lyrics are carefully crafted to convey a sense of adventure and defiance, while also acknowledging the inherent uncertainty of life.

And I'm not sure what this is all about,
Uncertainty about the situation at hand.
As we watch the waves crashing in and out,
Observing the tides, representing the ups and downs of life.
And only they know what we've found
Awareness that the environment and nature can reveal hidden truths.
And it almost feels like day time now
The possibility of a brighter future after a period of darkness.
Somehow we gonna make it through
Determination to overcome obstacles and succeed.
I'll break every single rule for you
Willingness to take risks and challenge societal norms for the sake of love.
Well I'll try to least anyway
Acknowledgment that it may not be easy, but the effort will still be made.
We decided to turn our world around,
Choice to take control of one's life and change direction.
We can drive away from this loser town
Escape from negative environments and people who hold one back.
Have to escape or go insane,
Feeling trapped and needing to make a change before it's too late.
A thousand miles an hour through the rain.
Unwavering focus and determination to move forward, regardless of obstacles.
And we're not sure if we even know
Acknowledgment of uncertainty about the future.
Just where we are or where we're gonna go
Lack of clarity about the path forward.
But we're not afraid, not tonight
Courage to face the unknown in the present moment.
Gonna try all we can to get it right
Commitment to doing whatever it takes to achieve success.
