“Maps”, from A.J. Crew’s album “De.Mo.N”, is an audibly rainy, midnight walk of sadness. Harkening back to a former relationship, Crew sees himself lost in the world and hopes to find the way back home to love and a state of sanity.
[Chorus]
I’m really lost and I miss you
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
‘Cause I ain’t know where you been to
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
[Verse 1]
I’ve been away for quite some time
Need you right here, baby
All is a waste if I’m not right
Beside you
[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting your demon, I’m fighting mine too
Life is cerebral, the mind’s eye view
If love is illegal, I’m running to see you
Ducking the evil, I’m fine with my bae
And I’m alright
[Chorus]
I’m really lost and I miss you
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
‘Cause I ain’t know where you been to
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
I’m really lost and I miss you
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your hеart
‘Cause I ain’t know where you been to
I’m finding maps so I’ll gеt to your heart
[Verse 2]
What they all gon’ say, know they all gon’ hate
On the love we make, on the love we make
Get it right, get it right, get it right (okay, okay)
Every night, every night, every night (all day, all day)
[Pre-Chorus]
You fighting your demon, I’m fighting mine too
Life is cerebral, the mind’s eye view
If love is illegal, I’m running to see you
Ducking the evil, I’m fine with my bae
And I’m alright
[Chorus]
I’m really lost and I miss you
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
‘Cause I ain’t know where you been to
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
I’m really lost and I miss you
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
‘Cause I ain’t know where you been to
I’m finding maps so I’ll get to your heart
[Outro]
I’m finding maps, I’m finding maps
I’m finding maps, I’m finding maps
I’m finding maps, I’m finding maps
I’m finding maps…

[A.J.]
If an idle mind is the devil’s workshop
Is the mind still a terrible thing to waste?
Or should we not be pushed around by the fears in our mind?
The mind is… its own place and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell
And a hell of… heaven…
Or maybe it’s all in…
