Panda
Nischay Parekh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change the very essence of who I am
I'm not here or there
Treat my soul with care
I used to be a panda
In my past life
I used to roam the forest
Now I'm here, now I'm free
Now nothings going to bother me
Take my world apart piece by piece
Put it back together you'll have me
Stopping time with love
It's you I'm dreaming of
I used to be a panda
In my past life
I used to roam the forest
In the nighttime
Now I'm here, now I'm free
Now nothings going to bother me
What if I surrender and give me and give
Then maybe planet earth would win
Then I'd have to live in my own skin
What if I tie my heart to yours
Where is the input, where is the source?
I used to be a panda
In my past life
I used to roam the forest
In the nighttime
Now I'm here, now I'm free
Now nothings going to bother me
Nischay Parekh's song "Panda" explores the concept of self-discovery and transformation through the symbol of a panda. The first verse expresses a desire to change and transform oneself through the power of love. The second verse draws a parallel between the singer's past life as a panda and their current state of being, free from the constraints of the past. The bridge of the song presents a dilemma of surrender and giving oneself up to another, and the fear of losing one's individuality as a result.
The lyrics overall suggest a journey of self-exploration and growth, inspired by a desire to understand oneself and to be loved. The image of the panda symbolizes a transformation from a passive, isolated creature to one that is free and fully alive. The song emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-care, as well as the transformative power of love and connection with others.
