To lock eyes and stay transfixed
To brush against your ear and listen

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Maayavi' is a soulful romantic track portraying a lover's intense intoxication and adoration for his beloved. He views her as a magical enchantress (Maayavi) whose mesmerising presence, smile, and gaze overpower his senses, leaving him utterly spellbound, disoriented, and overcome with emotion. The song describes physical and sensory responses to love, such as feeling heavy-hearted from her scent, losing breath, sweating, and becoming speechless in her presence.
