maya is a word that means illusion. the veil of maya is basically supposed to be the shroud over external reality that keeps us from seeing the whole truth. in eastern philosophies, generally, the veil of maya covers everything we see and hides something greater and awesome. as for what the veil means to me, i believe that its possible that this veil exists, but it is not hiding everything. the veil cloaks every object, but the actual object is the same as what the veil makes it out to be. most of the time we could basically just forget the veil exists and go on living our lives... i believe ahamkara is a word that means, basically, personality, or something that makes us believe we are independent. something about ego... but i could be wrong. look it up. most of the rest of this song is pretty self-explanatory. "dual scales"... "balance every joy with a grief" etc. as for the music in this song: superb. this whole album is an absolute masterpiece.
