Deeply emotional cinematic ballad exploring solitude and heartbreak.
Song Lyrics
මන් තනිවම යන්නම් තව දුර
දෑස හුරු හින්දා
පපුව තනියට දැනෙන හැමවිට
ඔය දෑස මම හෙව්වා
අදුරේ පාට ගෑවුනේ
සිහිනේ පාව යාවුනේ
සිහිනේ පාට සේදුනේ
තනි වී මා
දෑසින් දෑසම මිදුනේ
අපෙ හිත් අපිවද හෙව්වේ
ඔය තුරූලේ දැවටී ඉන්න හිතෙනවා
වැස්සක තනිවම තෙමුනේ
දුක නෑ කවුරුත් දන්නේ
හුස්ම දැනෙන දුරක ඉන්න හිතෙනවා
දවසක දැනේවී – තනිවම හඩාවී
කදුලුත් හඩාවී…හඩාවී
මන් තනිවම යන්නම් තව දුර
දෑස හුරු හින්දා
පපුව තනියට දැනෙන හැම විට
ඔය දෑස මම හෙව්වා
අදුරේ පාට ගෑවුනේ
සිහිනේ පාව යාවුනේ
සිහිනේ පාට සේදුනේ
තනි වී මා

Metaphors like “colors of dreams being washed away” and “getting wet alone in the rain” emphasize a vulnerability that no one else truly sees.
