In 1991, Praga Khan met Oliver Adams and along with Jade 4U, formed the production team MNO (comprised of the first letter of their forenames). Shortly after, they produced a series of popular British rave hits. The most popular, "Injected With A Poison", which hit the #16 spot in the UK and #1 in Japan.
While taking a break from his several side projects, Praga Khan released his first studio album, "Conquers Your Love", in 1996. Several albums followed a little while later; Pragamatic in 1998, Twenty First Century Skin in 1999, Mutant Funk in 2000, Mixed Up in 2001 and Freakazoidz in 2002.
A lucky break also happened when Paul Verhoeven, during the shooting of Basic Instinct, walked into "The Limelight" disco in New York, looking for a song for his movie. When the track "Rave the Rhythm" was played, he stepped up to the DJ and asked who that was. The song was included on the soundtrack, after which a whole bunch of other movies followed including Sliver, Virtuosity, Strange Days, Bad Lieutenant and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Praga Khan also worked on the soundtrack for the first Mortal Kombat game and the first movie's popular "Techno Syndrome" (the de facto Mortal Kombat theme) under the moniker "The Immortals"; thus also responsible for the camp classic line from the Sub-Zero theme, "Chinese ninja warrior, with your heart so cold..."
Contribution to the theatrical scene was made with his musical collaborations in The Next Dimension (2005) and Code Red.
Right Or Wrong
Praga Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't avoid what is to be
Diving into a sea of madness
Lost in the neverending space
Knowing the world around us fails
Caught in a world of disillusion
Side by side, we'll survive
Reaching our hands towards the sky
Without the sense to question why
Trying to chase away our nightmares
We have to face our destiny
Swimming into this raging sea
Bathing in darkness we keep fighting
Sometimes wrong, sometimes right
Side by side, we'll survive
Sometimes wrong, sometimes right
Side by side, we'll survive
The lyrics of Praga Khan's song "Right Or Wrong" describe the struggle of navigating through life in a world that is not perfect. The opening line, "This world is not a fantasy," sets the tone for the rest of the song, reminding us that we cannot avoid the harsh realities of life. The imagery of "diving into a sea of madness" and being "lost in the neverending space" evokes a sense of confusion and chaos. The lyrics also suggest that we cannot trust the world around us, as it fails us time and time again. But despite the disillusionment, we keep fighting and try to chase away our nightmares, reaching our hands toward the sky without questioning why.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that life is not black and white, and we are not always right or wrong. We have to face our destiny and swim into the raging sea of life, no matter how difficult it may be. The repetition of "sometimes wrong, sometimes right" suggests that we should not be too hard on ourselves when we make mistakes or fail, and that we can still survive and thrive by standing by each other.
