about

'Align' intends to explore an artist’s performative intentions, both internally and externally. The visual ideas represent the ways in which thoughts clash, overlap and define a performance. It may be perceived as simply as a portrait, but also a presentation of the vulnerabilities, conversations with one self, and the constant wrestle between real self and stage self and how all of these entities finally align, to make an artist.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Listening to the clock tick to the beat of my heart
Wishing I could make my life reflect my art
I crave to find my way

What if every sign so far were all little lies
Have I been delusional, living in denial
I pray to not be betrayed

Do I wait for the planets to align
Do I wait for some sign
Do I make, peace to never find
Do I really know, the one within my mind

Njaan ara, Enike arinjuda
(who am I, I don’t really know)
Njaan Noki avale kandilla
(I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find her)
Valli ariyathe vazhi kanuuulaa
(without knowing struggle, you cannot find your way)
Enthu paranzhanlum njaan vizhula
(whatever they say, I won’t fall)

Who knew I’d be the one to seek what’s divine
Out of space, all my realities collide
In retrograde, it seems for life
Am I too late, do I astroplane,
will I ever align?

Njaan Araa, Njaan Araa,
Ende Samayam Epozha?
(Who am I, when will my time come?)
