Lyrics: 

Bachpan Se Jo Socha Na Tha
Samjha Na Tha Jaana Na Tha
Ab Wo Mujhe Yaad Aa Gaya
Mere Liye Tumne Kiya

Bachpan Se Jo Milta Raha
Us Pyaar Ki, Ki Na Kadar
Ab Jab Hoon Mai Tumse Yun Door
Maangoon Dua, Kar Do Kshama

Amma Appa

Jab Bhi Koi Uljhan Hui
Tumne Usse Suljha DIya
Oonchaaiyon Se, Gehraaiyon Se,
Tumne Nahi, Darne Diya

Phir Bhi Agar Lagta Tha Darr
Tumne Sahaara Mujhko Diya
Ab Jab Hoon Mai, Tumse Yun Door
Maangoon Khuda Se Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Dilda Bhed(Live at at Radio One)

A cry is what you begin life with, and through all the ups and downs, you see only what you'd appreciate. The Journey of life can only really begin, with the first step, or can it?

Raastey

Hello people...Raagalogik's 2nd original is out
and its called 'Footprints'. This song is basically about living in the moment....that how living in the moment can be unnerving but exciting at the same time.
Also this song contradicts the typical "fusion" sound of the band as over a year of jamming has made the sound of Raagalogik evolve in a much melodic and a meaningful manner 
.Our personal favourite part in this song? the badass intro riff.
The production, kickass as always by our very own 'Broducer' Swatantra Sarode, 
lyrics by Aditya Ranade and Gaurav Tophakhane


Footprints

In the first episode of Season 5, we witness a union of passion and music through Benny Dayal and Naezy’s Yaad Rakh, which explores the meaning of living with passion and pursuing your dreams. 

Experience the LIVE TRUE sound that echoed deep into the valleys and lush green landscapes of Manali.

Yaad Rakh Lyrics by  Benny Dayal and Naezy
Produced by - Dub Sharma

Jog Live

A song about a juncture in life where you'd go when you look for peace. Or a spot you'd catch-up with friends. Or that common station where you'd wait for the love of your life only to travel further, together. Central Secretariat has been that juncture for quite some time now. 

Hope you'll like the song and be reminded of that one place which holds a special place in you heart.

Chal CS Par Milein

Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they go...

Tiny little star ship slipping through the sky,
Turn your burning flashlight out, just print it to my eye
Tungsten barely cuts it, the stardust man is out,
He burnt into your green screen babe, 
You can run but you cannot shout 

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

I never believed you 
When you said
We'd be flying though space,
Up here in anti gravity 
with your beautiful face.
It started with a Big Bang,   
But how the world has changed,
So all these asteroids,
they make me feel so safe..

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

lyrics
Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

I heard you screaming No! What are you afraid of. 
Show all the skin that you are made of, 
But you feel so old. 

So many thoughts, so many moves, to say, to make, to feel, to hear, to see, 
I hope I haven’t left behind the chance today 

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

Rocks Remember. 

Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

Can’t ever let my time, 
Decide just how long I have got. 

(But) You feel so old, don’t you now?

Rocks Remember

Raised the bar too high
(And now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too high
(I just let it slide)
Raised the bar too high
(Now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too, far too high

My will is shaken
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Yeah mind over matter, but mine leads to misery
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony
I failed the brave
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony

My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
(Far too high)
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Lyrics:
So much has been spoken about 
this world and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little has been done

This world of ours 
of diamond rings and fancy cars
on marble tops of hotel bars
we talk about war

This world of ours
dreams of big but empty paths
of missing lives and broken hearts
what are we here for?

Stop it please,
something light,
let's talk about sweet things
and who I took home last night

So much has been spoken about 
this love and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little can be done

This love of ours 
always ends before it starts
doesn't want to show its cards
we just want more

This love of ours
too afraid of newer scars
runs away when things get hard
let's build a wall

Stop it please,
no time to fight,
let's talk about the future and
how things between us aren't right

Songs From A Matchbox

Raghav Meattle - Bar Talk

Bar Talk | Songs From A Matchbox

This is the story of the drunk loser who traumatized everyone who ever cared for him. He's a selfish fiend who burnt every bridge . This song is the collective voice of everyone he alienated and hurt - his ex-wife, his family, his friends, even his children. They have all moved on, they had to. He's stuck in circles, forever chasing a high...

Lyrics
She took the kids and half your money, found out about the whores i see . 
Grab a drink or maybe twenty, to convince yourself that you’re right. 
Smash a glass, beat up a lady, need to feel like a man i see 
Another drink now you’re an absent daddy, who thinks he's right all the time. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, you’re time is running out/ 

You’re out of cash and you got no honey, to bail you out of another scene 
You’re a drunk loser who won’t stop trying to convince himself that he’s right. 
You’re out of cash so you to try to hustle , some kids who are to young to see 
You’re a fraud ,a cheat ,a neutered bunny. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, your time is running out. 
And when they do grow up, they are going to hate you, 
You might as well kill yourself right now.
