Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sukhwinder Singh's song "Thayya Thayya" have a spiritual and transcendent feel. The song begins with referring to the journey of life and the difficulties in navigating it. The lyrics ask whether the way under the thorny bushes and the tiny birds on the path can hold the secret to understanding our minds. The song further describes the beating of the heart with a symbolic gesture of a dance called "Thayya," which is often used to portray the movement of an individual in fulfilling a trance. The rhythm of the song supports the idea of a trance-like state and the dancers' movements. The lyrics end with a call to finding the ultimate source of knowledge and how love and devotion can lead one to that eternal knowledge.
