Demystifying 03:48
"I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth." - Chris McCandless

They say you gotta sing songs about love after she's gone They say you gotta sing songs about love to help you move on cause she knows everything except knowing how to live with a heart that's beating Try to turn this song into something else This isn't love, it wasn't love, but it felt a lot like it This wasn't love, but it felt a lot like it This is about the girl from the library, this is about the girl She had a really pretty face and it sucks you couldn't stay but it's okay She really calmed my heart down no anxiety, agitation She is everything this world, cruel world needs She was the girl from the library I didn't want to leave from the library but i had to depart you'll always have a special place in my lonely heart I know you won't see her again In fact you know you won't my friend you're better off with a different girl that'll make your world whirl She was the girl from the library broken hearts fall to pieces.. all you gotta do is.... To Be Continued

Art 02:48
its a different day can't get it my way im just trying to get by but im way down on my luck and my life is a mess im never out to impress got no money, im broke oh man im....... gonna be totally fine i cant stress it enough how i really love art and im learning guitar and how im grateful for that lady who came by the park to tell me about her son who has different days just trying to get by and this is what he had to say: "Madre, si estoy cocinando hamburguesas, sabes que estoy felliz porque yo soy libre. No me importa y si no estoy haciendo dinero. Tengo un pasion que es importante a mi." Mother, if im flipping burgers, you know im happy because i am free. I do not care if im not making money. I have a passion that is important to me.

Dramamine 01:53
I'm waking up with someone in my bed It's someone from my night night dreams she said "I'm aching from my head can you help me out please?" I'm closing my eyes to find some sleep instead Oh dramamine, the closest friend to me oh dramamine Eat a slice with me, pop some dramamine dont leave me I'm waking up with something in my head

It's not the objet petit a but something transcendental I've transgressed love beyond My biological desire, to create, encapsulate My truth of love

Well I got on the wrong bus today Lately I've been thinking that I do that everyday As if my destination isn't where I need to be or maybe it's a metaphorical thing Like how we live life with goodness in our hearts but screw over everyone we know, everyone we love that's all just a part of living free Lately I've been feeling worthless but not in my eyes, but in those I choose to see The past six months seem so small to me as if nothing life changing could happen why does my heart ache to see it all gone? like that day in August we lit a fire and went our ways I just hope you'll be happy to know I'm here to stay Why do I feel like i'm stepping back in my shoes Why do I feel like i'm going downhill too? Kris says, "You're not even 19, this is what you gotta do to get where you need to be." Brandon says, "Dude, this is just another step for you." and my heart's been telling me maybe things aren't as bad as they seem cause everyday, and everything will be okay

"Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past." - Chris McCandless I thought I found you I could've sworn we found eachother but i'm sitting here strumming a lonely tune Hoping it'll get me back to finding you Will the gray clouds point me in the right direction? I think that's where you might reside but I look up to find them over me Dramatically thundering for everyone to see I fly up to the clouds just to help me sleep It can bring me closer to seeing you Maybe I can find a way to see you permanently... These loosened ends never seemed so tied (Repeat) Tying loose ends just to save my life And I'm happy that you're fine I'm glad you're happy I remember wiping tears from your face "What will I do without you?" She said But that was months ago You'll be fine my darling.... It's who you are.

"We like companionship, see, but we can't stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again." - Chris McCandless Theres been a time in our life where we've never seen the sunrise or maybe that day is yet to come where are we now? don't tell me this is growing up don't tell me this is life, "It's rough" who said life was suppose to be this way? who made the decision that this was okay? chase your dreams in your sleep beg to HIM on your knees are we stars glistening in a black sky or are we fools prepared to die? was this world our magnificent heaven that we have for so long neglected I guess school never taught us how to care the cycle of systematic death never seemed fair every day we hurt each other every day we kill each other I don't understand why I guess we're fools ready to die

about

There it shines, la maravilla. Its roots spread beneath the Earth, in the fine rich soils of the land; its petals reach outward for the sun, soaking the light of a new dawn and breathing out in the dusk. While it establishes its home here en la tierra, absorbing the exuberant experiences of life, it also reaches out and searches the endless skies, seeking those infinite spaces for its meaning and comprehension. And like the tongue of Nietzsche, that spirited voice, la maravilla is our aesthetic phenomenon, justified in its existence, eternally alive within its own music and image in us all. Maravilla is a destination, and these songs bring about a story—an intimate and personal cuento—of a young man and his emotional journeys. From sadness, relationships, love, and complete despair within art and life, the token of each song resides in the listeners’ attachments and interpretations. These songs are full of youthful passions, they encapsulate intense emotions coming directly from the heart, and we can feel the tragedies within each withering yellow petal and finding solace from the positivity of looking beyond the stars. Maravilla is our youthful spirit, fighting against the experience of the philistine, searching in the world for a place to bloom loudly. Just A Matter Of Time... is the voice of Maravilla.
