A bond is there,
yet no connection remains.
Whose fault is it?
The heart has words to say,
yet lacks the will to speak.
Whose fault is it?
When a memory
turns into a prison,
whose fault is it?
When a mistake here
becomes the rule,
whose fault is it?
Even after crossing
so much distance to come here,
why did you leave your heart
behind in your yesterday?
Though a word
was born within you,
you clipped its wings
and let it fly into my sky.
Don't hide it,
it is only time that fades away.
Don't deny it,
even as your feet step backward,
your eyes speak the truth.
A bond is there,
yet no connection remains.
Whose fault is it?
The heart has words to say,
yet lacks the will to speak.
Whose fault is it?
For many wounds to heal,
a few days are enough.
For some wounds to heal,
a whole lifetime is needed.
To express love,
there are millions of ways.
To express certain anger,
no words exist here.
Will you open the door?
You were the one who shut it.
Will you forgive and forget?
Even as your silence punishes,
your heart forgives.
A bond is there,
yet no connection remains.
Whose fault is it?
The heart has words to say,
yet lacks the will to speak.
Whose fault is it?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poignant track delves into the psychological and emotional strain of strained relationships, internal guilt, and unexpressed pain. The lyrics repeatedly ask 'Whose fault is it?' as the protagonist grapples with broken bonds, unhealed emotional wounds, and memories that feel like a prison. It reflects on how time passes, how silence can be a punishment, and how some emotional injuries require an entire lifetime to heal. The song beautifully captures the tension between unsaid words and inner truth—where one's body language or eyes reveal honesty even as words fail or hesitation takes over. Ultimately, Madhan Karky's lyrics offer a philosophical meditation on forgiveness, regret, and the difficulty of bridging distance created by emotional blockades.
