Poems inspired by SNX's songs, retold by AIA Labs.
From the song
Maai معي by SNX
The title means "with me." The most direct invitation in the catalogue: would you like to come with me, let us head south, toward paradise. Maybe we can find a small piece of this world and call it paradise. Let us begin our lives again; it does not matter if we are not perfect, there is no doubt it will be beautiful. Love covers everything with beauty, so we start over, and you can be completely yourself; we will never go back to where we were. In the second half he sits in the sun, thinking of her eyes, having already said goodbye but unable to end it when she talks that way. He remembers when things were good and everything seemed ideal, sees other girls but nobody draws him like her, and knows it is hard but asks to try to make it last. He needs her to say yes, and the closing question is repeated to the "little one": will you come with me?
Deeper meaning
A second chance. The song is made of forgiveness and restart, and the offer of a new place where neither person is who they were.
