Jumbled up and tangled in trouble
Male: Buddy...
Chorus: Jumbled up and tangled in trouble
Chorus: What is it, buddy?
Male: Jumbled up and tangled in trouble
Male: Buddy...
Male: Jumbled up and tangled in trouble
So, are you ready?
Ready?
Tell me buddy, are you ready?
Hey yeah...
Like the beat of thappu and dhavul drums
With every hard blow we take
We are getting torn to shreds
We just can't bear it
In this house of torture
In this hide-and-seek game
We live in constant irritation
Unable to even sleep
There is no shortcut
There is no straight route either
It is a dead end inside
Once you step into this house... ah!
It is not just for one day, no
It is endless days of misery
As I keep talking about it
Hanging upside down for so long
Suffering helplessly like a bat
There is no peace of mind here, buddy
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Look, look, look, look, the door is locked!
Look, look, look, look, it is striking a blow!
Male: Ah... ah-ha... yeah!
Trapped in a brand-new headache
We are dying a slow death
Chorus: It is a deadly prison
There is no bail, no way to escape
Even with the one I like right beside me
I cannot even smile
Chorus: An unseen enemy
We cannot chase him away
Every day is pure torture
I have now become a laughingstock
I am tired and utterly sick of it
And the pain does not lessen at all
With a troublemaker right by my side
My entire future is ruined
Where will all this lead and end?
I cannot see any end in sight
My life has turned so harsh
Male: So harsh?
Male: Has my dream become a dark jungle?
Male: A dark jungle?
Male: Everything feels sickening, get lost!
Male: Get lost!
Male: When we start talking about our troubles...
It is not just for one day, no
It is endless days of misery
As I keep talking about it
Hanging upside down for so long
Suffering helplessly like a bat
There is no peace of mind here, buddy
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Look, look, look, look, the door is locked!
Look, look, look, look, it is launching an attack!
Like the beat of thappu and dhavul drums
With every hard blow we take
We are getting torn to shreds
We just can't bear it
In this house of torture
In this hide-and-seek game
We live in constant irritation
Unable to even sleep
There is no shortcut
There is no straight route either
It is a dead end inside
Once you step into this house... ah!
It is not just for one day, no
It is endless days of misery
As I keep talking about it
Hanging upside down for so long
Suffering helplessly like a bat
There is no peace of mind here, buddy
Mmm... buddy, buddy...
Mmm... buddy, buddy...
Mmm... buddy, buddy...
Mmm... buddy, buddy...
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Tangled and messy all around
So many troubles on repeat!
Shattered into pieces all around
Where on earth is our way out heading?
Look, look, look, look, the door is locked!
Look, look, look, look, it is launching an attack!
