LYRICS:-
**A Mirage is still a ray of hope,
But...
What if you are just an illusion?
What if, ten years from now,
I realize I’ve followed a mirage for a decade?
Ten years...
Only to find I’ve been utterly alone all along.**
If you’re not there then,
Whose chest, whose heart, whose words,
Whose breath, whose soul,
Will I lean my head against?
Whose mind will I enter?
So many things were left unsaid,
So many words remain unspoken, even now.
Ten years from now,
What if my well-decorated home feels empty?
What if my world, my entire universe, feels hollow?
Everything...
A vast void, an infinite emptiness...
Then what?
What if I have to cling to nothingness?
What if I can’t find the destination?
What if you disappear?
What if you leave me with the wrong address?
What if I go to that wrong address searching for you,
And I don’t find you?
What if I end up alone?
Alone,
Like God Himself—
Silent, solitary.
Will I search for existence then?
Blindly groping, trying to touch the invisible,
Grasping for visions in the dark.
Imagine, on a rainy night,
The downpour begins,
Drip, drop,
Soft at first, then a tempest.
And at that moment, every fiber of me needs you,
Desperately needs you!
What if you’re not there?
Cold gusts of wind and the scent of rain
Reach out to touch my outstretched palms—
My fate, my heart—
Lines of my destiny etched in my hands.
What if they don’t touch your hands?
The rain arrives gently,
Then turns wild.
What if I can’t find you in the storm?
What if I become like a tree—
Alive, but unable to move,
Unable to find you?
What if I spiral into chaos,
Screaming like a madman,
A piercing cry from deep within:
“Why? Why aren’t you here?”
What if the Earth trembles in fear,
Promises cover their faces in shame?
What if, amidst millions of people,
I feel like an alien,
A stranger with no one left to call my own?
What then?
What if I lose all faith, courage,
And resolve?
What if all that’s left is fear, doubt, helplessness—
And me, alone?
No hand to hold,
No heart to listen,
No shade of trust,
No one, no one, no one with me.
There’s the vast world,
But an even vaster emptiness,
And I am alone—
Alone under the dark, endless sky,
Among the stars, in the black void of space.
So profoundly alone,
Like a crumbled temple, a smoldered pyre,
A person in eternal coma,
As lonely as the soul of a forgotten language,
As solitary as the color white itself.
What if you’re not there then?
A Mirage is still a ray of hope,
But what if you are just an illusion?
Imagine, ten years from now,
I need you—
Desperately, desperately need you.
Will you flow through my veins,
As blood in my lifelines, my love?
