Into the Shadows... (2010,Nov 28th)

(Now what am i waiting for? What am i holding back for? Every once in a while we have to recede back before we make our final move. that move will change the nature of the game, will decide where we stand, whether we win or lose. There is some anger that has lived and prospered inside me. there are some doubts lying dormant...silent, but not really... Agitating! Yet i know My strong Will will burn them all. These Doubts and anger cant kill my dreams. Its about time, i showed them their true place....

Wrote this lyric for before the final foot forward from which point, there will be no detours )

We have called out to,

Friends and strangers all alike.

We’ve turned our heads,

Towards our echoes in the night.

Maybe tomorrow,

We will find a new sight.

Maybe tomorrow,

Everything will be right.

I have a reason,

To believe in what I do.

And you can’t stop me,

From believing this is true.

So build a stronger wall,

And the harder it will fall,

I will break through your evil,

I will watch you fall..

 For now,

I recede into, the shadows of the night.

But I will find my faith,

And resurface, like a phoenix

From my ashes.

I ready myself now,

The storm’s coming soon,

I will survive, in the darkness,

And change its nature….

Arsh...

Rise... (Version 1)

{This is the very first lyric written under the Project: A White Rising. This is the first version i am posting here. enjoy and review}

Lost into this tide,                                                                 (V1)

So many barriers and ridges,

To which i collide...

I bleed, still i breathe,

Flashes of light i see,

But i refuse to die...

Coz i haven’t lived enough yet,                                            (interlude)

Nor have i made a difference,

Haven't changed the world enough,

That i can rest in peace.

Like the unrest of these waves,

My soul is feels restless,

No i have to survive...

Let me burn down the walls,                                                   (Chorus)

Separating us from the path,

That can unite us for good,

Let me feel this once..

Let me feel the warmth in the veins,

Of these bonds that i make,

Let me rise like these waves,

Towards the sky and make a difference...

This is it,

Finally i have found,

The bridge of positivity.

I am strong enough,

To leap, and make the distance,

Leave footsteps to follow.

Leave my essence behind,

So that the once who see me,

Won’t make the mistakes,

I have made.

I search for peace,

And will find it now soon,

Smiling from in between...

Let me burn down the walls,                                                   (Chorus)

Separating us from the path,

That can unite us for good,

Let me feel this once..

Let me feel the warmth in the veins,

Of these bonds that i make,

Let me rise like these waves,

Towards the sky and breathe...

Our mind’s like the ocean,

In the depth what we hide,

Is what may save us,

From drowning inside.

So break out of the abyss,

Of your mysteries now,

Spread the wings wide,

And rise....

Let me burn down the walls,                                                   (Chorus)

Separating us from the path,

That can unite us for good,

Let me feel this once..

Let me feel the warmth in the veins,

Of these bonds that i make,

Let me rise like these waves,

Towards the sky and make a difference...

Arsh.....

A Rock to Step on... (Lyric)

{A Rock to Step on...

Project: A White Rising}

(The idea for this theme and song came into my mind when i was behind the wheel, on my way to my college. Came up with a few lines that i penned down. Also a special thanks to Miss Zee (Zasper) who quickly came up with the second verse of the song, perfect for the thought that lead to the positive chorus... Arsh)

Washed away,

In a valley somewhere,

Give me something,

A rock to step back on..

Watched the Sunrise,

And watched it set,

Over my dreams,

The night has grown so strong..

If only i remember,

How i was back then, before the fall.

If only i can feel something,

A presence, a shinin star at nightfall.

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Every day, I

Sway with this one feeling,

That there is another reason,

For me to live.

Is it just me? Coz

I’ve stopped believing,

Can anyone hear me?

Every truth is just so deceiving..

If only i remembered,

How i was back then, before the fall.

If only i can feel something,

A presence, a shinin star at the nightfall.

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Every time i get pushed down,

There is something i want to rise back for.

This is the light i’ve been searching for.

I take a deep breath,

I feel lighter than before, here i come,

I have faith now....

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Arsh...

Live the Dream...

{One of the originals that we sung we our convocation ceremony was the one below. I share my feeling of positivity here:-)}

Its like i was

Searching faith before.

And when i found it,

Something new was in store.

I thought that life

Felt stagnant before,

But i feel relieved

I don’t feel like that anymore.

Something has changed in me, {bridge}

That i see things differently...

Its like i feel {chorus}

lonely no more,

in darkness around me

i feel there r doors.

As i move ahead,

Taking the steam,

With all my hardwork,

I feel, m living the dream,

Living the dream...

All this comfort,

I want no more.

Its all disturbance,

I want it out of the door.

I felt i was through

This life before.

Before i opened my mind

For what it had in store..

And now something has changed in me,

That i see things differently....

Its like i feel {chorus}

lonely no more,

in darkness around me

i feel there r doors.

As i move ahead,

Taking the steam,

With all my hardwork,

I feel, m living the dream,

living the dream...........

Arsh.

A Corner For my Band...

{In a desperate attempt to find a room for practicing n creating music, Sagar (the drummer of my band) just started this with 4 simple lines and I did my job as the lyricist of the band to complete the foll. lyric. We couldnt manage to get a new place for jamming, but we had fun. This song is dedicated to Sagar:-)}

Yeah, i’ve bin thinkin,
The place i deserve,
When we r the ones,
Tryin to hav some fun.

Yeah, i’ve bin thinkin,
How u don’t realise,
With our sweat n blood,
These melodies are done.

Do you still think,
This is the best place for us?
When half the junk here,
Is covered in more than just dust.

No, i want more,
Than a few sq. Ft. Of land,
It stinks, it smells, its boiling,
In here without a fan.

But we still don’t complain,
U think we’ll let our efforts go in vain...

Giv me a corner,
A corner for my band,
N u will realise that,
We’r a party from a different land.
U will dance, you’ll faint,
Yo! Take a stance,
We’ll make the party grand,
Just a corner, n we’ll make your hair stand...

Hear us out, n without doubt,
We r a perfect fit,
Drums n guitar n a hint of bass,
We’ll give u a dashing hit.

And if yet u think,
We don’t deserve the spot,
I say get lost,
You crazy or what!

Giv us the comfort,
N respect a little bit,
If not the music stops,
N that’s it.

So slimy gits,
Giv me a corner,
A corner for my band,
N u will realise that,
We’r a party from a different land.
U will dance, you’ll faint,
Yo! Take a stance,
We’ll make the party grand,
Just a corner, n we’ll make your hair stand...

........................Arsh.
