[Humming]
Under control, under control
Endless addiction
Endless addiction, eternal
Look into my heart
And think, see your destiny is in your hands
Look into my heart and think, see
Your destiny is in your hands
Your ancestors know my stories
My existence is eternal
Endless and eternal
Eternal, eternal, my body is fire, fire
Eternal, eternal, my body is fire, fire
Male: My existence is eternal
Hey.. hey.. hey.. hey.. hey...
My body is fire, my shadow is fire
Oh please, why this mischief, Genie?
In the illusion spun by desire,
this entire world is enslaved
Is the 'me' that I see real?
Is my body a lie or the truth?
Am I just a leather puppet?
The spirit sleeping in the heart,
if set free, it brings danger
It will conquer and rule over you
Do not rub the lamp!
Eternal, eternal, eternal, eternal
Eternal, eternal
Male: Eternal, eternal
Female: She is dancing fire in woman's form
Male: Oh!
Female: Eternal, eternal
My body is fire, fire
Male: My existence is eternal
Your destiny is in your hands
Your destiny is in your hands
Fire.. fire.. fire, fire!
Fire.. fire.. fire, fire!
Eternal, eternal! Will you watch this dance
that brings down all-ruling desires?
The mind is a vast prison;
a soft veil keeps it hidden
The veil called a face, worn over the inner self—
will it ever speak the truth?
O smokeless fire!
Are those crimson-blue eyes?
In the fire of my body,
while longing burns you, burns you, burns you,
hell burns me, burns me, burns me!
Eternal, eternal
She is dancing fire in woman's form
Eternal, eternal
My body is fire, fire, fire, fire!
O night, O eyes, O my beloved, O night
Night, O night!
O my beloved, O night!
The soul was snatched away, the soul was snatched away
The soul was snatched away, the soul was snatched away
The soul was snatched away!
Genie, he is a Genie!
Male: The soul was snatched away!
Female: Genie, he is a Genie!
He is a spirit shifting like changing clouds
Here is a vessel of illusion
Obeying the command of the master who orders,
here is the drama danced by the body
Climbing into the path where blood flows in my veins,
he casts magic to alter it
Genie, he is a Genie!
A wicked Genie, he is a Genie!
The eyes that gaze upon the scorching false moon,
in this illusory moment, this life fades away
This life fades away
Eternal, eternal
My body is fire, fire
Eternal, eternal
My body is fire, fire
My existence is eternal, look into my heart
The soul was snatched away into my eternity
My existence is eternal
My existence is eternal

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song explores themes of captivity, desire, control, and existential illusion through a mystical dialogue between a Genie and a mortal. Blending Arabic phrases with Tamil lyricism, the track portrays the body as a burning element and the mind as a prison wrapped in veils of appearance. Desire is depicted as a double-edged force that turns both master and servant into slaves to their inner fire.
