I just love these songs, it’s because it makes a connection to me, the wordings just touch my deepest thoughts and feelings. so just felt like sharing it.
Am putting in a few lines from the song Give me some sunshine, not the entire lyrics here, and my thoughts on the side about the lyrics
| Saari umar hum Mar mar ke jee liye Ek pal to ab humein jeene do Jeene do Give me some sunshine Give me some rain Give me another chance I wanna grow up once again | I wanna grow up once again, I miss my childhood, like I have read many times in emails and facebook status messages "Getting High" meant "On Swing" "Drinking" meant "Apple Juice" "Dad" was the only "Hero" "Love" was "Moms hug" "Highest place on earth" was "Dads Shoulder" my "Worst enemies" were "My own siblings" Only thing that could get "Hurt" were "Skinned knees" The only thing "Broken" were my "Toys" and when "Goodbyes" meant till "Tomorrow" |
Kandhon ko kitabon Ke bojh ne jhukaya Rishvat dena to khud Papa ne sikhaya 99% marks laaoge to ghadi, varna chhadi Likh likh kar pada hatheli par Alpha, beta, gamma ka chaala Concentrated H2SO4 ne poora Poora bachpan jalaa daala | I remember being send to the room when you wanted to play, but I got to say the line about dad beating you up if you didn’t get 99%, well I got to give it to my dad, he never said anything to me, Ya he scared me when I didn’t get good marks, but it always ended with "I know you can do better, you just need to put in the effort Savio". And those words broke your heart all the more to see the disappointment, he never asked for a 99%, just the decent marks |
Bachpan to gaya Jawani bhi gayi Ek pal to ab humein Jeene do jeene do Saari umar hum Mar mar ke jee liye Ek pal to ab humein jeene do Jeene do | This is something that really hurts, Bachpan to apne hat sa gaya, now working and not living the dreams you is like letting your life go, I know my life is running away from me I just don’t know how to correct the situation, sitting in front of the computer in a 4 walled office when such a big world awaits, I want to be free, I want to see the world, I want to fly a plane, I want to do a lot of things, things in the real world that require money. Thinks that without money I can only dream about, So now sitting and trying to make money by working and is my life go by is so depressing. |
And this other song Fireflies by OWL CITY, I am pasting the whole lyrics here I just love this song.
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they'd fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread | Various things about this song affect me, starting with the fireflies stuff, Every summer vacation, I used to be packed off to Kerala, My native place, apart from playing with cousins, grandma’s cooking, something that really strikes me was fireflies, they used to come out at night, and sometimes when the power goes, which used to happen often in Kerala at that time, these fireflies were a sight to watch some 100s of them just shining there green lights, I used to enjoy just gazing at them, now its been a real long time since I have seen one. (1 thing if anyone of you are trying to catch it for me, they smell bad when you crush them) Another thing was that like the line says I would rather stay awake when I am asleep, because everything is never as it seems, Really, nothing is ever as it seems |
I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyesv I got misty eyes as they said farewell But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep | |
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams | I wished planet earth could stop for me, so that I may catch up with things I want to do, because really my dreams are bursting out a lot…. :( |
