The Unspoken
“Through Songs” uses its images to make self-enquiry concrete rather than philosophical in the abstract. The line “The pains I bear, though penned on pages” exposes the tension underneath the song: identity as an ongoing investigation rather than a fixed label. As the song develops, heart quietly comes to represent emotional truth and vulnerability. That inward point of view makes the message feel experienced before it is explained. The lyric’s arrival at “And through my songs, their joy increased” matters because its resolution is not a neat answer but a clearer relationship with the question.
Through Songs - Lyrics
Through songs…
Through songs…
Through songs…
Through songs…
Through songs, they imparted wisdom,
Through songs, they nurtured devotion.
For the sake of songs, I braved the trials,
Those melodies spanned a thousand styles.
Young men, eager to woo their loves,
Turned to songs that whispered dreams.
Even the poor, bound by servitude,
Were urged to sing of their silent screams.
The rhythm of songs, near the bed’s warm light,
They were told to craft with heart and might.
In the streets, where souls would gather,
They sought the hymns of Thiruvasagam and Thevaram.
Through songs, they imparted wisdom,
Through songs, they nurtured devotion.
For the sake of songs, I braved the trials,
Those melodies spanned a thousand styles.
The pains I bear, though penned on pages,
Could never find an end, even in ages.
In rituals, they lit the sacred flame,
Declaring it would bring forth fame.
In films, they had me sing the first refrain,
Saying it would turn fortune's gain.
Through songs, they imparted wisdom,
Through songs, they nurtured devotion.
For the sake of songs, I braved the trials,
Those melodies spanned a thousand styles.
Countless songs, I sold with care,
But are they good or foul? I’m unaware.
In truth, I simply cannot tell,
Whether they brought joy or cast a spell.
For me, my leaders are my fans,
As long as they wish, I’ll heed their plans.
To their desires, I’ll serve a feast,
And through my songs, their joy increased.
Through songs, they imparted wisdom,
Through songs, they nurtured devotion.
For the sake of songs, I braved the trials,
Those melodies spanned a thousand styles.
