The rains they are a' comin'

The rains they are a' comin'
The rains the have a' come
It's all so becomin'
To the rest of my world

The rains they are a' comin'
The rains they hav a' come
It's the one time I'm not thinkin'
Of What's to come

Am out, the rain is not
It's in and it's on fire
Try to, taste the drops
Get to taste desire

So say, you're on the roads
And the rains have got you too
Ttime to, make a move
No time to choose

It's monsoon to soon
Try to say, I'm not not thinkin' of you
It's monsoon too soon
Can't wait wait for it to rain again

Lightning strikes
Thunder whips
Hell, it smells nice
Just get a whiff

It's the same air that we're breathin
Same light that we see
Same thunder we hear approaching
Same roarin' in the seas
Same time, it's with precision
Same drops that hynotise
Same roads, not in vision
Different lives

No, don't wanna know who the rains trigger you off for
Don't wanna know whom you'd sing the song
No I don't, wanna care, Don't wanna try to
But world knows that I can't do it
Now whom do I lie to

I'm not just fancyin'
I don't think that I'm dreaming
I'm just letting the rains keep comin
Through my voice, so I'll be singing
I'm singing, I'm singing and you can sing along
One thing you'll never do is stop the songs

The rains they are a' comin'
The rains the have a' come
It's all so becomin'
To the rest of my world

It's monsoon to soon
Try to say, I'm not not thinkin' of you
It's monsoon too soon
Can't wait wait for it to rain again

Once upon a time
There lived a boy
Who wanted to follow his dream
He toiled day 'n night
He worked but he didn't tire
He moved towards what only he could see

The world around him kept changin'
He was never in the same place
He just wanted to fit in
Always left behind in the race

And then he saw he needed to work so much more
He could but didn't wanna go on
His dream was left to the nights
Could've got back on his feet
Didn't wanna do it, honestly
He just did what he thunk was right

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life

So he kept moving on his 'right' track
The track that went the wrong way
They tried to turn him around
Push him towards the long days

Soetimes, he saw his dream
Floating away from him
He thought he'd let it go
Long ago, but no, it wasn't so

And on the way, he fell in love
Maybe he'd imagined it all
Maybe, it wasn't right
He'd remember to tell her sometime

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life

His dream's still there, so is she
He hasn't got them with him
Facing reality
Hasn't got a choice that'd help

He's moving and he's moving and he's moving along
Hoping life'd help, he's just sings his songs
His dream's still very much in grasp
He'll keep behind her till he lasts

And he'll tell people how he kept to his lines
How he nearly gave up and remembered each time
How he thought that you could let go
But no...

So everybody this is a lesson in life
You see a dream, you treat it right
You reach for anything you set your heart on

Maybe you'll fall back sometimes
Catch up and you can still lead the file
Just don't forget to remember

Don't matter how fast
Just matter which way
Don't matter if last
It matter if in vain

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life.


Yes, I get it, I've had only 15 years and uh...9 months of life to sing about. I'll update this poem say...ten years later. Every ten years actually. Yeah, visit this blog in 2017, 2027, 2037, 2047, 2057, 2067, 2077, 2087...okay, i don't wanna live much beyond that.

Night Star

There's the sun...the blinding sun
Hiding the darkness at noon
There's the star...the tiny star
Shining it's way through to you

You're looking up and you see
The sky's ablaze
You're not sure if it's night or day
It's just for you and it's trying to tell you that there's someone
Thinking of you with nothing to say

If I could be the sun...the blinding sun
Everywhere you set your eyes
You wouldn't be looking, you'd be lookin for darkness
And you'd try to escape those rays from sky

I'm just a tiny star, In your night sky and
Your sky gets brighter everytime
I don't know how many stars out there are shining for you
But I'm ahead of the line

So everytime you look up you'd see
The sky's ablaze
You wouldn't know if it's night or day
I'm shining and I'm shining and I'm shining so hard
Hoping you're looking my way

There's the sun...the blinding sun
Hiding the darkness at noon
There's the star...the tiny star
I'm trying to shine my way through to you

The sun's too bright and the moon's a fake
But they're closer to you than I
I'm just a star...a tiny star
Shining away at night

Maybe the next time you look up you'll see
The sky isn't ablaze anymore
But there'll always be a star, noon or night
Hoping that your smile will show

Ever looked up at the sky night after night? The sky is a really cool thing. I'm not into astronomy but I love the sky. Especially at night. Oh this is just another song that popped out of my head. yay.

Knee deep

There are words that don't need to be spoken
There are actions that are never done
There are people you know without meeting
There'll be miracles that you won't know of

There are times that seem to last forever
There are hours that slip away...
There'll be a time to be together
Maybe it can't be today

I'm knee deep in success,
And I've got a taste of life
If what I'm feeling is happiness
Then I haven't felt no strife

There's so much, so much that can be seen without eyes.
There's a pot of gold you'll find if you try
There's your life ahead of you, go make your choice
You're chasing a dream that you need to realise

Don't you give up, let up, or let yourself get chewed up
The world's here for the buying, stop paying the rental
The crack is getting wider and hole is getting deep
I think it's time to set your caged ideas free

If think you can, think you can't
Whatever you thought,
It's time to move on
Because you're right, no matter what

I'm knee deep in success,
And I've got a taste of life
If what I'm feeling is happiness
Then I haven't felt no strife

It don't matter if you've got the right road
Are you walkin' the right way
If you're hoping to get somewhere
You're missing everything on the way

Vile thoughts may creep into your head
And people might call you insane
Never let them change a thing you said
Don't excuse the way you behave

Hear the voices that egg you on
And you'll know what to do
Now's the time to do it all
And it's all for you to choose

I'm knee deep in success,
And I've got a taste of life
If what I'm feeling is happiness
Then I haven't felt no strife

I dunno, things have been going right for me lately. I write songs when I'm bored okay, I know this one doesn't make much sense. Live with it.

Been waiting...

You don't need to say a thing
To let me know the way you feel
I don't need to know what you think...
Is this love...?

I don't care what you do,
Who you've hated
Who you've shooed
Is this love...?

You could say 'hi' over and over again
You could speak for hours on an end
I don't know, but it feels the same
Is this love...?

This isn't a part of a fairytale
This isn't how romantic novels end
We don't kiss goodbye, oh what am I saying
This is love

Let the others do what they want
Maybe they hold hands, go out, get lost in the dark
I don't really care, I'm with you for who you are
And yes, I'm in love

Everbody says their hearts go beating thump-thump
Everybody says that they've got butterflies in their stomachs
Everybody says that they feel so much
And I don't have a clue

I don't send you flowers
I don't tell you what goes on in my heart
I haven't told you know how I feel...

You don't need to say a thing
To let me know the way you feel
I don't need to know what you think...
But I've still been waiting

I can't call you everyday
I can' take you out anyway
I don't think that you'll ever know
That I've been waiting so long

Sometimes I ask me what I'm doing
Is this really worth the waiting
I tell me to shut up 'cause all I know
Is I'm in love...

Ho-hum. Applause or whatever.

The Satyajeet Sir Song

Okay, we had this amazingly cool chemistry sir last year, who would not stop taking classes ever. He'd come anytime anywhere if he saw he could take an extra class. He was annoying, but a great teacher. With a cool beard and cool eyes. Then he left school, so me and one of my friends (lakshay) were told to do something on the spot during a free math class, so we decided to sing something. Being the lyricist that I am, we ended up singing this dedicated to him, a spoof on "In the End" by Linkin Park. This is NOT a song I consider good enough to be blogging about, but hey, it was fun. It was on the spot. It wasn't easy.

Chorus: Satyajeet sir, Satyajeet sir (oh yeah) / Satjayeet sir Satyajeet sir (yes Sir!)

It starts with
One thing, I don't know why
Stayajeet sir comes all the time,
Keeping that in my mind switch off all mobiles
Or like Kedar you'll be sent out of class in time
The class goes On...

French ma'm's absent, oh no
Here comes Satyajeet through the door
Riots or fires, grey clouds or not
He'll keep on teaching and
The class goes on...

Remembering the times we fought because he
Wouldn't give us a single period free
Not that, it matters when
Coz he'll keep on teaching
Till the end...

We had plans to make him stop, but it all fell apart
What would eventually be a period free, maybe we'd get to go for P.T

We tried so hard
But he wouldn't stop...
And till the end
He'd just keep on teaching
Now he's gone
And we've lost it all
But till the end
he just kept on teaching

One thing
I don't know why
Satayajeet sir went out of our lives
But we designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
Why the class went on

In spite of the way we were mocking him
Acting like we didn't care for him
Remembering the times he'd stay back again
How could you be surprised that the
Class went on...

Things aren't the way they were before
Ever since Satyajeet went out that door
Not that we could have said anything then
Because he kept on teaching
Till the End...

Purple Sky

The moon...is red
Is it bleeding...?
Why do my thoughts keep repeating...
I can't get you out of my head...

Do you hear my heart beating?
Or are you listening to what I say?
Can you feel what I'm feeling
I can't trust myself today

Why not tonight
The stars are back
The grass is green
The flowers are red
How could I let you leave
Why not tonight
The sea is blue
The birds are white
My words are true
And you've stopped time

How could I let you go
I've already let you know
I can't live, waiting for tomorrow...
Why can't it be just you and I
And this purple sky
Tonight...

There's something missing
I'm missing a part
There's something missing in my heart...
...do you hear it beating...
...I feel it bleeding...
...you can't be leaving...

Anything now
Is better than everything tomorrow
But you can walk away, it's fine
I-just-want-to-see-you-smile...

Why can't it be just you and I
And this purple sky
Tonight...


This is the first song I'd ever written. Well, I've made few major changes, I mean I was 9 then. Now I'm going on 16and things are different. Doesn't matter what you say, which song you like or whatever you think, I say this mybest song and always will...
