Song 1
Me and Maja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and melodies together
I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I am young again even though I'm very old

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream!
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs





I am music (music) and I write the songs
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The song's title is "I Write the Songs," which was written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys but popularized by Barry Manilow. In the context of Me and Maja's song, "I Write the Songs" serves as an homage to the power of music and its ability to connect people from all over the world. The lyrics suggest that music has always existed and will continue to exist throughout time. The personification of music throughout the lyrics implies that music is a living, breathing entity that has the power to move people physically and emotionally.


The first stanza emphasizes the omnipotence and omnipresence of music: "I've been alive forever / And I wrote the very first song." The singer claims that they "put the words and melodies together" to create the first musical composition. This idea of music as a universal language is further emphasized in the second stanza where the singer states that their "home lies deep within you" and that they have their "own place in your soul." This suggests that music transcends language and cultural barriers and is a force that is felt on a deeply personal and spiritual level.
