The Tattva
As We Keep Searching Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hosh se hum khafa
Chain se hai judaaKyun huwe bezubaan
Khoje pyaar har jagah.

Bhooley hum

Khoye huwe hum hai sab yahaan.
Kyun khoye se hai saare.





Khud ko hi khud se hum
Bhooley o khuda.

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of As We Keep Searching's song The Tattva speaks to feelings of alienation, disconnection, and searching for love. The lyrics, "Hosh se hum khafa" ("We are disappointed with our senses"), suggest a sense of disconnect between the self and the world, and the line "Chain se hai judaa" ("separated from peace") echoes this sentiment. The next line, "Kyun huwe bezubaan" ("Why have we become speechless"), is interesting in that it could suggest either an inability to express oneself or a feeling that words are inadequate to describe what is happening. Finally, "Khoje pyaar har jagah" ("Searching for love everywhere") speaks to a universal human need for connection and suggests a state of longing or yearning.


The second verse of the song is shorter and more straightforward. "Bhooley hum, Khoye huwe hum hai sab yahaan" ("We are forgetful, we are lost here") is another expression of feeling disconnected or disoriented. The final lines of the song, "Khud ko hi khud se hum/Bhooley o khuda" ("We are lost in ourselves, forgetful, oh god") suggest a spiraling sense of disconnection and confusion, as the singer seems to be losing themselves entirely in this search for connection and meaning.


Overall, The Tattva seems to be a reflection on the human experience of seeking connection, meaning, and love in a world that can often feel chaotic and indifferent. The lyrics suggest a sense of disorientation and frustration with this search, but also an ever-present sense of hope that transcends these challenges.

@sharathchandra29

You are India's answer to Sigur Ros; fabulous stuff, guys!

@ZeusIsDead

I feel they are hugely inspired by the likes of Sigur Ros, EITS, Mogwai, GIAA and mainly This Will Destroy You. This Will Destroy You is so much in their songs as an inspiration. I am listening to them for the last three months now. I cannot get over the fact how beautiful their sound is. So rich and intense. You can feel the goodness of the sound. Like so frigging much! <3
