Maya Isacowitz - My Child

Concert report will follow later, or tomorrow maybe, when I'm not under Conentra effects. Better be safe than sorry.

However, I do want to share one song, the one I loved the most, from the show yesterday: It's called "my child" and it could have been written about my mother, god.

First the Youtube link:

And now lyrics:

My mama told me I should beware:

“I’ll tell you a story about mean people,

Who take use of innocent girls

Don’t mean to scare you, but be careful”

“Maybe think twice before you walk alone

Call somebody to take you home”


“Look over your shoulder when you go that way

This world might take you to a bad bad place”


Remember you told me

Things your mama said?

She never gave you enough affection

Let you run around

She didn’t know you’re bound to feel alone

And such neglection

You may feel the need to

Fix the past through me


And show over lovingness

Fear you feed me pushes me further

A world full of bad I can’t take much longer

“Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right


I don’t tell you nothing

Just to mess with your mind”

“Don’t be cold and act like you know

Some things my child

Make us all feel small”


Remember you told me I should watch out?

“You see not all will have

A good intentions…”

“So keep your eyes stretched,

And sharp your senses”

“I’m terrified that you’ll lose direction”

“Just hold tight, you’ll see I’m right


I don’t tell you nothing

Just to mess with your mind”

“Don’t be cold and act like you know

Some things my child

Make us all feel small”


Take this mark back to where it came from

Leave me out, this is not mine

To carry with me through my life

Hope these scars can heal with time




“Hold tight, you’ll see I’m right

I don’t tell you nothing

Just to mess with your mind”

“Don’t be cold and act like you know

Some things my child

Make us all feel small”


But I’ll hold tight, and hope I’m right

I’ll see the good when I lose my sight

I’ll play right, and follow my light

I’ll scream what I need with my silent sound

Empathise mine
