The lyrics then shift, asking if a small ripple of a dream wanders alone in the vast ocean of life. This changes the core image from fire to water. The singer proceeds to question love directly, asking if it is near or far away.

Ororo Novin KanalilumIn the embers of every single pain,

Ororo Novin KanalilumIn the embers of every single pain,

Nilavin ThalirithaloJust one tender petal of moonlight?
