As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the wild partying peaks,
As you completely forget yourself,
With no joy left, only misery gathering,
As your life reaches its end,
With no path left for you to go,
As your sight fades into darkness,
From screaming out loud,
Your throat parches and withers in thirst,
Inside four closed walls,
Just like a frightened puppy,
You are trapped in sheer terror,
Just like the globe spinning,
As your head spins around and around,
You were the one crying out in panic,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
Hahahaha...
You crossed the limits,
You walked into quicksand,
There is no way out for you at all.
Meh... meh... meh... meh...
Is a battlefield raging in your mind?
Is death stalking right behind you?
Is a battlefield raging in your mind?
Is death stalking you?
Do you see the grave right in front of you?
Is it calling you to sleep forever?
Caw, caw, caw... ah...
As you walk away from all love,
At the hour when sins catch up to you,
The family who came seeking your love
Is waiting with hope in you,
Just when you realize the value of life,
Your soul flees and runs away,
With your heart burning and aching in agony,
Your final breath is about to leave you!
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,
As the high keeps rising,
As the mind loses its way,
The high rises and the mind loses its way,

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Bodhai Yeri Budhi Maari' is a haunting, psychological track that explores the harrowing consequences of substance abuse, loss of self-control, and guilt. The repetitive mantra-like chorus emphasizes how rising intoxication corrupts human reason and sanity. The verses depict claustrophobia, mental torment, fear, and the existential dread of confronting mortality when one crosses healthy boundaries. Ultimately, the song serves as a grim warning about the fleeting nature of life and the painful realization of precious bonds lost to destructive habits. As the mind turns into a chaotic battlefield, death beckons, leaving the protagonist in a state of helplessness and regret during their final moments.
