Mavi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh lazy Mavy
What's on
Your mind
Oh lazy Mavy
On mine
Is you
In the morning we'll be
Sailing on
A helium balloon
And by night we won't be two
As one we'll read the news
Fed up with all their views
And then straight to bed
From heaven you'll be
Looking from
A perch up in the sky
And I will see you soon
Connected by the tune
I weave it through the room
And the space to you
Oh lazy Mavy
As light
As sand
Oh lazy Mavy
The one
Dog band
The waves are just a
Melody
They crash and
Make a rhyme
And the do for all of time
They lie down next to mine
I take it for a sign
And then I go to sleep
Wooo
And I will feel good too
As good as you are true
Every time we talk
Is a memory
Oh lazy Mavy
You are
A dream
Oh lazy Mavy
So it
Would seem
I'm counting all the
Spots of dirt
And my foot's
Made of lead
I think of what you said
Do nothing else instead




Won't get out of my bed
No it won't be long

Overall Meaning

The song "II" by Mavi is a dreamlike, nostalgic track that refers to a person called Lazy Mavy. In the first verse, the singer addresses Lazy Mavy, asking them what's on their mind and revealing that they are on the singer's mind. The second verse describes a scenario where the two of them will be sailing on a helium balloon in the morning and then reading the news together as one entity at night. The idea of being connected by a tune sticks out in this verse to imply that music could bring them together.


The third verse has the waves serving as a melody in the background, crashing and bringing a rhythm that rhymes. The singer confesses that thinking of something Lazy Mavy may have said consumes them and impedes their ability to get out of bed. The entire song is atmospheric and gives off the feeling of longing and fondness, possibly representing a past relationship/prayer.
