Just Suddenly

Why Me
Album - With Me Without Me (2020)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

I wish I didn't lose five hours
In a boring routine plight
If only I'd half your luck
I'd be breathing it up

Why did this happen to me?
Why am I the only?
Is it a coincidence?
Or have I wronged?

I cannot play with my friends
Cause I have dire constraints
Why shouldn't I complain
My tears fall like rain

Why did this happen to me?
Why am I the only?
Is it a coincidence?
Or have I wronged?

Every day is a war
With needles and scars
And when I recovered
I couldn't believe
What I saw

Was left agape
At the sight
Of so many of me

It's so uncool
It's so unfair
No one deserves this
God should change this rule

Why did this happen to me?
Why am I the only?

I'm happy it happened to me
Learnt a lesson no book could teach me
Realized the value of life
And the love I have

Why me, why you, why me
Why me, why me, why you
Why you, why you, why me
Why anybody?

Love Or Life
Album - From Me To You (2017)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

Don't know how or when, it just happened
I was driving to a beach, but fell off a cliff
When I thought, I hit the ground
A look into your eyes, and I'm still falling

Time slips away through my fingers
When I hold your hand, it's been great for years
You've got a side that makes me wonder
If you're the one
Will you treat me well?

I want to be with you
Ignore all demerits
I hope love will help me
Avert these forebodings

When you see, things going wrong
Would you choose love or life?
When you see, things going wrong
Would you choose love or life?
Don't you risk it all
At times, just love, won't help you breathe
Take a second look
Is your love worth all the pains you'll take?

I bend and stay, but when it's your turn
You're as stiff as a stick; I'm lost in a maze
Hard to admit, but you did what you did
When wide awake, my heart's in a daze

I know you still love me
It shows in your actions
Don't say it won't happen
This isn't the first time

When you see, things going wrong
Would you choose love or life?
When you see, things going wrong
Would you choose love or life?
Don't you risk it all
At times, just love, won't help you breathe
Take a second look
Is your love worth all, the pains you'll take?

If I keep loving you
I might die in your arms
If I leave you tonight
I'll give love another chance
Give love another chance (x3)

Cuckoo To Plum
Album - From Me To You (2017)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

Don't see, what I, have to say
Listen to my actions speak
Don't see, what I, have to say
Listen to my actions speak

In this world, so dark I'm blind
You're my cushion, soft and kind
I've time travelled, cause you're beside
This journey won't last, cause your fuel ain't mine

Don't see, what I, have to say
Listen to my actions speak
I won't ever find, another you
So close to me, yet far off reach

I hear a word, but she spoke a line
She's soft as a plum, but explodes at times
We're stars apart, and our thoughts collide
If weren't we off-sync, my search would die

Don't see, what I, have to say
Listen to my actions speak
I won't ever find, another you
So close to me, yet far off reach

I was about to, so damn close to
Falling into, more than thrice too
I stopped myself cause, I didn't wanna lose you
Can't imagine, life without you

So don't see, what I, have to say
Listen to my actions speak
I know words are your, kryptonite
But don't have faith in, just what one speaks

Every punch, curse, rant, you'll throw at me
I'll savour it, taste the love hiding
Let the world think whatever they wish, you're my punk twin
My playschool girlfriend
No matter how horribly we argue, I might walk away
But I'll come back to you
On this quest to express my true feelings, through music
You're my one and only, who understands

Too Much
Album - From Me To You (2017)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

I'm sorry
For what happened
And the truth came out
The way it did

I was just being honest
I didn't consider
You a friend

You helped me out
Without a doubt
I was stuck in a rut
Cause a friend hurt me

Too Much (x2)

That I pulled it on the world
Ran from everyone
Broke all bonds
And didn't make new ones

It's time for us to switch
For me to feel what you
Felt when I treated you
Like a fool

But I look up to you
Wanna be you
A friend you can count on
Who cares about you

Too Much (x6)

To Be Rescued
Album - From Me To You (2017)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

It’s not the first time
My heart has broken
But I’ve tried to glue the cracks
Every time

I’ve loved so many
So many left me
But the pieces of my heart
Are more today

I’m not coming
To share your
Happy moments
I’m just here cause
You need me
And it’s important
To be Rescued

I’m scared these pieces
Small and tiny now
They’ll turn to dust and blow
If again I try

When I was drowning
Had given up all
If only someone had
Rescued me

I’m not coming
To share your
Happy moments
I’m just here cause
You need me
And it’s important
To be Rescued

Can’t let you end up being me
Can’t let you be another me

Female Foeticide

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

F - How can you expect me to get rid of a part of me?
      Live with the consequence of killing my child?
M - You're overreacting, it's not like it's murder
F - Well it certainly is, you just don't see it
      Thought you were educated, had a little common sense
      What you're asking is female foeticide

You don't understand, you're killing the mom
Of your grandchild, who's safe in my paunch
You fail to infer, that you took birth
From the very womb, of a once upon girl

M - My parents they, wish a grandson
      It's auspicious, and brings good luck
F - What's wrong if it's a baby girl
      You're basing this on superstition
M - It's a matter of pride, to bear a firstborn boy
F - Like a daughter's inglorious, rids you of your manliness
      Do you feel like a man, that you had to trick me
      To determine the sex of my baby
M - I don't see the harm, in using science to get what I want
      Raising up a girl is cumbersome
      A financial obligation
      Like an unworthy investment
      From which you cant expect restitution

F - Can't believe, you called me unworthy
      Bet you can't run one day without a me
      Except wrestling, I can dare you
      There's no challenge where a me can't beat you

F - It's not your fault, we've played our part
      Always the damsel at the mercy of dogs
      Like the doctors who swore to protect us
      Yet they help rid cause she has a uterus
      Like the procurers, who trade us for dowry
      Marriage a money-making ceremony
      This society, led by men
      Why not women, I reject your reign

      You don't understand, you're killing the mom
      Of your grandchild, who's safe in my paunch
      You fail to infer, that you took birth
      From the very womb, of a once upon girl

M - What about my legacy?
F - Gave up my maiden name
M - She'll just marry and go?
F - Left my family too

M - Who'll support us when we age?
F - What if we couldn't conceive?
M - You're stepping way out of line
F - Don't you dare raise that hand on me (x8)

Paper Planes
Album - With Me Without Me (2020)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

Was running late for a precious date
Was a bad planner made it all go to a waste
Nevertheless got a bus in time of haste
Stuck up in traffic seemed like waiting for a day

A message rings
A friend says
Two tickets of her favorite play

Paper Planes flying everywhere
Each paper plane a probability
Of things that might have happened (x4)

Jumped out the bus ran like life depended on it
Through sleeping cars that kept honking for an exit
Tryst at the plaza, I halted gasping for it
Wet till the underwear and reeking like a skunk-breed

I looked around
She wasn't there
She's not the kind to just be late

Paper Planes flying everywhere
Each paper plane a probability
Of things that might have happened (x4)

Maybe Mike came along, just spoke to her, took her away
But he's in Srinagar as of today
Maybe she called Shreya to go shopping
Maybe her mom came and stopped her from leaving
Maybe she got tired of standing and waiting
Maybe she just went to have an ice-cream

Did she land in an accident?
What if she is still bleeding?
What if she's abducted?
What if I never see her?

And I see her there
Giving me that stare
For me the world's a blur
I hope she understands

I hope she understands (x4)

Step Down
Album - With Me Without Me (2020)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

When you give your all
All they see is your fall
When you try to improve
They claim you can't come through

How can you be sure
About the future?
What makes your verdict so certain?
You put me down
Based on your preference
I won't forget it, cause you said

Step Down You Don’t Have
What it takes to make it

Don't let go, what you love
Just because they think it's wrong
Take advice, find a way
Make it work till your lungs give way

When you give your all
All they see is your fall
When you try to improve
They claim you can't come through

When you're wounded
And off your path
You need a hand, to get back
You expect that
From your friends
But what if they tell you

Step Down You Don’t Have
What it takes to make it

Break a man's heart
But don't crush
His will to live
Success, it's not about
But what you make of
What you get

When you give your all
All they see is your fall
When you try to improve
They claim you can't come through
(x2)

She Is Going Away

These are not the lyrics, it's a message:

This song was
My last attempt to stop her
When she said she was going away
I wanted to play this song for her
But, she didn't let me

Now, I don't want her to hear this song
But I want everyone else to
So if you're interested, meet me
At a cafe, on the street, wherever you can
And I'll play it for you, live, face to face
You'll never get to hear a recording
I don't want my words to reach her

Chiku
Album - From Me To You (2017)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

Oh! what I'd give
To be by your side
You don't understand
How I feel

Why can't I stop?
My eyes, they swim towards you
What should I do?
To get you

You're so unaware
Of what you mean to me
When she's with you
I'm drowning

Don't want the world
To see me through and through
Although, it's true
I miss you

Dear Parents
Album - With Me Without Me (2020)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

I want to thank you for
Everything you’ve done
From giving birth to
Showing me your warm love

Providing all my needs
Helping me learn
Protecting me from pain
Scolding me a ton

I know you mean well
But you’re forcing me here
You want to save me
Instead you broke me

I know you had some hopes
That I have just ignored
Your dreams are yours to bear
Not my burden

The life that satisfies you
May not make me smile
Advise me on my journey
Don’t impose your style

I know you mean well
But you’re forcing me here
You want to save me
Instead you broke me

You judged my worth, on a few measly bucks
My feats in music, you called a dud
You despised that I adopted kids
My noble act you deemed lunacy

You failed me before, I gave my test
Did you name me special, to copy them?
The choices I make are, who I am
You take that away I’m as good as dead
(x3)

Reaching Alex
Album - With Me Without Me (2020)

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

I regret it now, letting you go
But Ji imposed remember, your guardian angel
I lost three years from your life
You must have grown tall
Your countless voice recordings
Hours of phone calls

You must have cut your hair
In various styles
I even missed your mood swings
And the fights that we had

I’m writing this song to reach you
Expressing what I feel in tune
Don’t care what they think of me
Just want you by my side

I came to meet on your birthday
When you turned eighteen
Found you’d moved to a new home
With an address incomplete
I hit the three residences
That had the same name
I called your mom to give a letter
But she was against it

I’m writing this song to reach you
Expressing what I feel in tune
Don’t care what they think of me
Just want you by my side

I’ve counted days, patiently waiting
For you to grow and take your decision
I hope your froggy isn’t dead yet
I’ll fight the world if you just say yes
(x2)

Miles Away

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep and Pragati Sahi

You're the closest to my heart
What would I do without you
To not see you for weeks
Is gonna get to me too

I've been struggling for days
Was torn between the two
Though I'm flying away
My heart belongs to you

The miles in our way
Might break us today
But if we stay strong
We'll smile in the end

I remember our fights
What a waste of precious time
As I say my goodbye
My heart's about to die

The miles in our way
Might break us today
But if we stay strong
We'll smile in the end

What if you
Find someone
And my decision
Burns us down
I'm so afraid
Of losing you
Hope that we
Make it through

The miles in our way
Might break us today
But if we stay strong
We'll smile in the end

The miles in our way
Might break us today
But if we stay strong
We'll smile in the end

Who Said Love Was Easy?

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep

I know, breakups are a bitch
These times they, make you think
Is love really worth the pain?
Or it’s another mistake?

I hope there comes a guy
Who keeps you in the sky
Makes you smile till the end of time
Holds you close through sick or shine

Yes, it leaves you, at his mercy
He might just break you, over again
I know it sucks, to keep trying
But who said love was easy?

A stroke of luck I believe in too
Maybe your love does come find you
But, what if you wait and he doesn’t come?
What if you’re left out and alone?
Don’t want you to lose out on love
Just make a move and find him first

Yes, it leaves you, at his mercy
He might just break you, over again
I know it sucks, to keep trying
But who said love was easy?

If you don’t act on what you want
Why would you get what you love
So many hours put to survive
Yet you leave finding love on your luck
Love is a two player game to start
You cannot play if the other bails

I can’t promise anything
You might not even win
I’ve had a taste of love
I’m not giving up at all

Do You Remember

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep and Sunetra Dasgupta

Do you remember
The times we spent together?
We had a connection
A vibe like no other

How did we fall apart?
What went wrong?
Why didn’t we talk more?
Not give up

I come home to my love
She’s everything I craved for
But, I often wonder
What if it was you, not her

How did we fall apart?
What went wrong?
Why didn’t we talk more?
Not give up

I always knew that we’d bump into each other
Just around the corner or off beyond the border
There’s a room in my head filled with notes where I
Rehearse our conversations, imagine all the outcomes

When I saw you a part of me wanted to run away
The other just wanted time to pause a day
You hit me like a meteor, I don’t know what you are!
Or what you do to me!

How did we fall apart?
What went wrong?
Why didn’t we talk more?
Not give up

I've loved you the most
No one even comes close
You're my one remorse
My cherry sweet curse

If we had one more shot
To pick from where we lost
Would you say it's way too late?
Or fuck(chuck) things and come with me?

Your Face Looks Like A Tomato

Lyrics by: Vedaunsh Pradeep and Kushagra Mauni

Your face looks like a tomato
When you’re angry on me and don’t want to show
You stare at me like a lioness
When all I do is crack too many jokes

Five minutes in your lecture
Words get hazy, eyes get drowsy
Time starts moving slowly
And all I hear you say is blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Quantum Theory blah blah blah blah blah
Adjectives blah blah blah blah blah
Then some more blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Your face looks like a tomato
When you’re angry on me and don’t want to show
You stare at me like a lioness
When all I do is crack too many jokes

You expect me to memorize
The Periodic Table
One tiny error and you
Make me do the whole thing again

Five minutes late and you don’t
Let me enter the lecture
Yay! I get to bunk a lecture
“Oops I shouldn’t have said that out loud”
But you scold me with the same lines

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Your face looks like a tomato
When you’re angry on me and don’t want to show
You stare at me like a lioness
When all I do is crack too many jokes

If only you could have made this fun
We would have paid so much more attention
If only you could have made this fun
We would have paid so much more attention

Stories of Spiderman, instead of boring annoying poetries, we can’t relate to
Documentaries of all the facts, instead of reading a hundred text-books
Examinations that accept unique answers instead of testing our memory
Marking us down with your report cards, instead of judging on all our effort

If only you could have made this fun
We would have paid so much more attention
If only you could have made this fun
We would have paid so much more attention
