Feet move forward without being told
A body devoid of thirst and desires
All seven worlds will cast blame upon

பாதங்கள் சொல்லாமல் முன்னேறுதே
தாகங்கள் இல்லாத ஒரு தேகத்தை
உலகங்கள் ஏழேழும் பழி சொல்லுமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song, composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar with lyrics by Kabilan Vairamuthu, serves as a high-spirited anthem celebrating youth, freedom, and night life. The song encourages throwing away calendars and ignoring time zones to live in the moment without boundaries or inhibitions. It metaphorically describes rewriting scientific laws (like Einstein's mass-energy equivalence) through the lens of revelry and enjoying life's pleasures. Narrating the feeling of entering a new city and initially feeling nervous before breaking free like wild creatures, the lyrics reflect the spirit of college youth and young adults exploring unknown paths. It asserts that life without passion, thirst, or desire is criticized by society anyway, so one should embrace life fully and conquer the night.
