Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is an evocative contemplation on love, identity, and the spiritual journey of life. By addressing the heart as 'Idhayaa', the lyricist questions whether the heart itself is the fundamental seed from which love blossoms and branches out into countless stories.
