The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Return to India" by the artist "Xandria"

Contents

In the text "Return to India", author Xandria describes a deep disappointment and existential crisis after achieving what seemed like the pinnacle of success. "India" in this case is a metaphor for a dream, a lifelong aspiration.

The poem begins with notes of triumph, a sense of reaching the top of the world. However, almost immediately, in the following stanzas, there is a dissonance between external success and the inner state of the lyrical hero. Having achieved what was desired, the hero does not feel satisfaction, instead he is tormented by existential emptiness and misunderstanding.

The search for enlightenment and peace turns into a clash with "base instincts", which further intensifies the feeling of disappointment. The hero tries to move forward, leaving the past behind, but feels that he lacks his "ghosts" - perhaps old guidelines, beliefs, or even illusions.

The recurring motif "Where are my dreams of India?" emphasizes the loss of faith in a dream. "India" becomes unattainable, "the path to India has reached a dead end".

In the final stanzas, a glimmer of hope appears. The realization that fate can be "much deeper, freer" than the original desires leaves the possibility of accepting a new reality and moving forward.

Sun rays touching my skin like a stream of gold

Beauty, fame and wealth smell nice on top of the world

Made my day, this day made me the blessed one

My achievements will shine bright when all the smoke is gone

All those years and with all my heart

Reaching out for what would broaden my horizon

Perpetual striving made my life complete and now

that I reached new dimensions I wonder why, I wonder why

There's still something in my head I fail to explain

Falling deep into this void, only silence to remain

Sheer enlightenment of the soul that's what I hoped to find

Reduced to instincts I've to see there will be no peace of mind

Left behind the ghosts I knew so well,

Stepped into the light, into a new beginning

But can it be I miss their company,

Need their guidance and advice to define

The inner me

Where's my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

No return to India

Expectations once so high now seem down and low

They once sent shivers down my spine,

now make me tremble in my bones

Where's the dream that made me be, made me carry on

Gave my longing for an end just to find

That nothing's won

Means to an end we're dedicated to might set an end

To all those means we have to offer

I can't escape from this lifelong dream,

I'm a captice of its shadows, awaken, end to all sleep

Where's my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

Give me back my India

Means to an end we're dedicated to might set an end

To all those means we have to offer

I can't escape from this lifelong dream,

I'm a captice of its shadows, awaken, end to all sleep

Where's my dream of India?

Dead-end street to India

Been so close and yet so far

Give me back my India

Once we have reached our destiny we understand

That it is different from the dearest wishes of the beginning.

It is much deeper, broader, sometimes greater...

Either we understand

Or we sail on, and on, and on...
