except holding an unspoken connection, some songs feel like they have been with you since the begining. As it starts,
kaisi teri khud-garzi,na dhoop chune na chaaon
Kabira is a song about a traveller who leaves every place without leaving any footprints,
it gives a glimpse of how choosing one part of himself means betraying the other.
ban liya apna paigambar, tar liya tu saat samandar
what he is, what they think, what he seems
going into every unkown from what he used to be,
he has travelled in so many directions but when he looks back what has he found. \
it is that thin line between self discovery and self exile.
maybe all he gets at the end is him losing himself.
phir bhi sookha man ke andar kyun reh gaya ?
It’s the dissonance that exists between removing every inhereted identity and still needing someone to belong to.
How long can a person remain like a black canvas while still being rooted in himself.
it’s about experiencing thousand things without allowing any of them to change you.
it’s about meeting hundreds of people without allowing yourself to be known by one.
it’s about understanding the freedom intellectually without ever learning how to feel safe in intimacy.
If I remove everything that could define me, what remains for me to belong to?
re Kabira, re faqeera, maan ja.
Again it’s a reminder of a thin line between spiritual detachment and emotional avoidance.
How loving someone means betraying a part of yourself.
his self awareness to understand the lies he tells himself,
how he says some things make you vulnerable, how not having any attachments means spiritual freedom.
aaja, tujh ko pukaarein teri parchhaiyaan
it’s about being scared of belonging to yourself.
not only about people or places but to a version of himself.
tooti charpai wahi, thandi purwai rasta dekhe
how he avoids everything that make him remember himself.
