Sinead play around quite a bit with Hindu references on this record, like the use of Maya in “Harbour”, Maya being a Hindu word or symbol for illusion or delusion, to overcome the foolishness of posing or hiding and find the “true self,” which appears to be another central theme to these songs.
Harbour Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She is a harbour
And has not harbour
She is only 'she' in inverted commas
She's not well aware
In certain areas
Lost girl in there
Building stupid castles in the stupid air
She lost a boy she loved
Because he was Maya
Always Maya
[Chorus]
Harbour, harbour
No man is her father
[Verse 2]
She sought for something holy
Found only the dreams of Don Quixote
Fumbling to get back what's stolen
Thinking pain could be plastered over
[Chorus]
Harbour, harbour
No man is her father
[Verse 3]
She lost all else she loved
Same time she lost that boy she loved
And they said, call it Maya
Go ahead, call it Maya
[Bridge]
But it's not all Maya, well
A broken fourteen year old girl
Hasn't been allowed to tell
What actually happened in Hell
What happened in Hell
[Chorus]
Harbour
No man is her father
Harbour, harbour
No man is her father
