four of i don't know how many

I've been sharing these songs for quite a while and I have no clue for how long I'd be continuing with this. However, off late I figured out that I've been sharing these songs in sets of three and they were themed upon one aspect or another and mind you it wasn't deliberate. Anyways, here's another set of three and even this set has been discussed spontaneously, wonder if there's a theme in this too.


1. How to save a life by The Fray

As he begins to raise his  voice -You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road - Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things - He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same - And you'll begin to wonder why you came


This song is a journey of perhaps two friends attempting to come closer to each other after a disruption of some sort. Unfortunately the distance between them eventually grows by time. One of them narrates his side of the story and recollects if there were any of his mistakes. In this process we are taken through some very important aspects of human behavior. The above lines describe the will to standby on someone's side even after the last thread in the rope breaks. 


2. Rehne de by Lucky Ali
जो भी सोंचा हो सही, ये ज़रूरी तो नहीं
रह भी जाए कुच्छ कमी, तो समझाऊं बताऊँ किसी से - अब रहने दे 
कह दे तो कह दे, चुप तो चुप रहे
बदले तो बदले, क्या अब हम कहें - रहने दे 
सहले तोह सहले ना भी कह सके - रहने दे
 This melodious track talks about betrayal from someone very close and once dependable. It subtly hints on the universal fact that the truth is ugly. This song is about moving on and looking at the brighter side of life upon betrayal. This betrayal need not necessarily be of the romantic kind, it could very well be between friends or siblings. The bottom line is to move on and apply what I call 'the take it easy policy' to it. Just turn a blind eye to it and you'll be happy. Do not reciprocate!

3. Carnival of rust by Poets of the Fall

It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed

All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore. And more than ever,
I hope to never fall,where enough is not the same it 
was before

With a very dark back drop, this song deals with a fossilized subject in a very mature manner. It's all about the undying the hope, to get closer to the loved one and the fear of getting perished if taken away. It's about expectation that the ones you're counting on will not walk away when you need them 'the' most or as it says when your world is burning.
