Quest
Antariksh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mujhse hai poochta,
Kya hai maksad tera yahan?
Kyun is baazaar mein
Kya hai wajood tera yahaan?
Nakabi ye sheher hai
Sab kuch yahaan fareb
Sawalon mein gum hue hain hum aur tum
Khud ko hi uljha ke
Suljhaane mein lage
Qirdaar hain sab khoye hue
Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai
Scared of the truth,
We let the lies prevail
The air smells of deceit
I struggle to find my way
Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai
In the song Quest by Antariksh, the lyrics explore the meaning and purpose of our existence. The singer of the song questions and reflects upon why he/she is present in this bazaar of life and why they find themselves selling their own self. The city in which they find themselves is shrouded in deception, and everyone seems to be lost in their own questions and confusion, their own roles and masks. The singer realizes that in this illusory world, nothing belongs to them, and everything they perceive as theirs is just a figment of their imagination; a mere thought. They search for the truth, but it seems to evade them at every turn, and they realize that they are trapped in the web of illusion.
The lyrics of Quest are powerful, questioning the fundamental truths underlying human existence. It emphasizes the illusions that we create for ourselves and how we find ourselves lost in these illusions, forgetting the questions that brought us here in the first place. Furthermore, it questions the role we choose to take on in this world, whether we are willing to sell ourselves and our beliefs for the sake of fitting in and surviving.

Aksar mera ye mann
Mujhse hai poochta,
Kya hai maksad tera yahan?
Kyun is baazaar mein
Khud ko yun bechta?
Kya hai wajood tera yahaan?
My mind often asks me, what is your purpose here? Why are you selling yourself like this in this marketplace? What is your identity here?
Nakabi ye sheher hai
Sab kuch yahaan fareb
Sawalon mein gum hue hain hum aur tum
Khud ko hi uljha ke
Suljhaane mein lage
Qirdaar hain sab khoye hue
This city is a veil of deception. We are lost in questions, and have lost ourselves trying to untangle our own issues. Everyone's character is lost in this city of deceit.
Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai
You have nothing here, it's all an illusion. It's just a thought that everything here belongs to you.
Scared of the truth,
We let the lies prevail
The air smells of deceit
I struggle to find my way
We are afraid of facing the truth, so we let the lies take over. The deceit is everywhere and I am struggling to find my path.
Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai
You have nothing here, it's all an illusion. It's just a thought that everything here belongs to you.

4:24 The Friedman solo is soo good as he changes his tonality at least 2 times in the solo and builds up enough tension to release in the second half... Especially the transition during 4:49- 4:53
The first solo leads into the second
Brilliant writing by both parties..
The second solo from 5:08 is very smooth and fluid and releases the tension effectively.
I also liked your idea of building up tension in the last part and adding Friedman solo again to relieve the tension. .

Bass line is JUICY at 1:26 and really kicks off the song and the Sitar adds a nice unique element that meshes really well with the rest of the song. Very impressed that Marty doesn't seem out of place at all which means you are all incredible musicians.

Wow. Never imagined I would get to hear Marty Friedman play on a Hindi song. This song checks that off my list.
I discovered Antariksh through this song just 5 min ago and I'm already booking my tickets to their show in Delhi this Sunday. Can't wait to see you Antariksh 😍😍😍
