What is the meaning of Vaanamey Kaanamey Lyrics from Teenz?
Radhakrishnan Parthiban frames life’s futility through direct rhetorical questions: ‘What’s the point of living? What’s the point of dying?’ A later verse shifts perspective, asserting ‘No one’s an orphan while another human exists.’ This structural contrast mirrors the song’s emotional arc.
Vaanamae KaanamaeThe sky’s disappeared.
Yaavumae MaayamaeEverything’s just an illusion.
Vaanamae KaanamaeThe sky’s disappeared.
Yaavumae MaayamaeEverything’s just an illusion.
Natpaiyaa NampikkaiyaaIs it friendship or is it trust?
Ivargal TholaiththathuThis is what they’ve gone and lost.
Naalaiyae KelvikkuriEven tomorrow’s become
Aagivittathua giant question mark.
Thuyaranga Yaavum UyaramaanaalIf every sorrow reaches new heights,
Payanangal Yyaavumae Bayameyaanaaland every journey’s filled with fear,
Ini Vaazhthenna PayanThen what’s the point of living now?
Seththu TholaiyalaamaeI might as well just die and be gone.
Ada Seththu Enna PayanBut wait, what’s the point of dying?
Vaazhnthe TholaiyalaamaeI’ll just live and be done with it.
Vaanamae KaanamaeThe sky’s disappeared.
Yaavumae MaayamaeEverything’s just an illusion.
