The songwriter mentions a hundred paths in the mind, symbolizing confusion and uncertainty. The vocalist delivers a raw line, ‘If only I could get my hands on God, I’d kill him,’ expressing deep frustration and pain. The lyrics describe sleepless nights and a constant battle with self-doubt.
Kavalaiyodum KuzhappathodumLost in worry and total confusion,
IrukkirenI just stay here.
En Manathil Nooru VazhigaloduWith a hundred different paths in my mind,
NadakkirenI keep walking.
Anaithum Nalai Mudiyum EndruThinking that everything will end tomorrow,
NinaikkirenI hold onto that thought.
Nan Thadikki Vizhuntha KayathoduWith the wounds from where I stumbled and fell,
PadukkirenI lie down to rest.
Yaridam SolluvenWho can I even tell?
Yara Ini Nan NambuvenWho’s left for me to trust?
Kadavul Mattum KaiyilIf only I could get my hands on God,
Kidaithal KolluvenI’d kill him.
Thavikkiren Nan ThavikkirenI’m suffering, I’m really suffering.
Urakkam Indri ThavikkirenI’m struggling without a wink of sleep.
Seitha Thavarai NinaikkirenI keep thinking about the mistakes I’ve made.
Nan Pasithum Unavai VerukkirenEven when I’m hungry, I hate the sight of food.
Thudikkiren Nan ThudikkirenI’m trembling, I’m shaking in pain.
Nadappathai Enni ThudikkirenTrembling at the thought of what’s happening.
Enakkulle Nan AzhugirenI’m crying deep inside myself,
Inga Veliyile Mattum NadikkirenBut out here, I’m just putting on an act.
Kavalaiyodum KuzhappathodumLost in worry and total confusion,
IrukkirenI just stay here.
En Manathil Nooru VazhigaloduWith a hundred different paths in my mind,
NadakkirenI keep walking.
Neeril KanneerilIn the water, in my tears,
Oodum Enn OdamMy boat keeps drifting.
Nalai EnnagumWhat’s going to happen tomorrow?
Vazhve PorattamLife is just one big struggle.
Adakka MudiyavillaiI can’t hold it all in,
Adanga TheriyavillaiAnd it refuses to be tamed.
Irandukkum NaduvileCaught somewhere between the two,
Nan ThavikkirenI’m struggling.
Ulagam VilangavillaiI don’t understand this world,
Ethavum SariyumillaiAnd nothing feels right.
Enakkulle ThinamumEvery day, deep inside,
Nan Ennai VathaikkirenI’m torturing myself,
Veithu SithaikkirenI’m tearing myself apart.
Thavikkiren Nan ThavikkirenI’m suffering, I’m really suffering.
Urakkam Indri ThavikkirenI’m struggling without a wink of sleep.
Seitha Thavarai NinaikkirenI keep thinking about the mistakes I’ve made.
Nan Pasithum Unavai VerukkirenEven when I’m hungry, I hate the sight of food.
Thudikkiren Nan ThudikkirenI’m trembling, I’m shaking in pain.
Nadappathai Enni ThudikkirenTrembling at the thought of what’s happening.
Enakkulle Nan AzhugirenI’m crying deep inside myself,
Inga Veliyile Mattum NadikkirenBut out here, I’m just putting on an act.
Kavalaiyodum KuzhappathodumLost in worry and total confusion,
IrukkirenI just stay here.
En Manathil Nooru VazhigaloduWith a hundred different paths in my mind,
NadakkirenI keep walking.
