Queen of hearts


You may be the King of Diamonds. But don’t underestimate me.
I’m the queen of hearts! Only I can set you free.
The game’s not rigged. It’s just that I happen to make the rules.
I happen to own the game, happen to be cruel.
Come after me with all your arrows and knives and guns.
Take a good look at me before you Unleash your demons.
Play your offence, I’ll forever hold my defense. You will give in.
Cause you know it deep within, In the end I’ll always win.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

Pull out your wild card. But get ready to get scarred.
I’ll be waiting for you to let down your guard.
Climb your ladders just to get bitten by my snake.
This game’s not a piece of cake. Your life is at stake.
When it’s my turn, all your bishops and knights will burn.
Your castle will crumble. With your head hanging low, you’ll return.
Play your offence, I’ll forever hold my defense. You will give in.
Cause you know it deep within, In the end I’ll always win.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

Check mate honey! Your time is up darling.
The game’s been lost before you even started playing.
I’m just a pawn, A ticking time bomb, waiting to become the queen.

ইচ্ছা


ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা লাল বেলুন কেনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল রংধনুর রংগুলোকে চেনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা দুইটা তিনটা করে তারা গোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল একটা গল্প লেখার টুনি আর টোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল কনসার্টে গিয়ে একটু গান শোনার
ইচ্ছা ছিল সাগর থেকে ঝিনুক কুড়িয়ে আনার।

ইচ্ছা ছিল কত প্রশ্নের উত্তর জানার
ইচ্ছা ছিল তোমার সাথেই স্বপ্নগুলো বোনার।

যাবে আমাকে নিয়ে কিনতে সেই বেলুন?
আমার যত ইচ্ছা ছিল করবে কি তা পূরণ?
নেবে আমাকে গুনতে তারা দুই কিংবা তিন?
লিখব নাহয় গল্প এবার নিয়ে আমাদের দিন।

ইচ্ছা ছিল দেশ-বিদেশে নিরুদ্দেশ ঘোরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল হাত ভরে নীল চুড়ি পরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল হাতের মুঠোয় জোনাকি ধরার
ইচ্ছা ছিল জীবনটাকে নিজের মতো গড়ার

ইচ্ছা ছিল কত প্রশ্নের উত্তর জানার
ইচ্ছা ছিল তোমার সাথেই স্বপ্নগুলো বোনার।
যাবে আমাকে নিয়ে নিরুদ্দেশ ভ্রমণ?
আমার যত ইচ্ছা ছিল করবে কি তা পূরণ?
নেবে আমাকে গুনতে তারা দুই কিংবা তিন?
লিখব নাহয় গল্প এবার নিয়ে আমাদের দিন।

Auni's Song

Verse-1
Have you met that girl? They say-
She's got dream pop song, lullabys,
And board games for you to play.

Pre-Chorus-1
Rainbow hair turns from rainbow
To blue then green in progression.
She's a bursting kaleidoscope,
His pixie temptation.

Verse-2
In the sunlight her skin is gilded honey,
A shade of warm brown.
Yet her locks ever changing colour,
Makes her super fun.

Pre-Chorus-2
Dark laughter, mysterious yet
Bubbly in nature.
She's a mesh of in control
Yet free, gypsy rockstar.

Bridge
She does no drugs,
Is high on life,
squints her eyes while she smiles.
She'll tell you how it is,
What it is straight up.
Living life to the fullest,
No half cup.

Outro:
Have you met that girl? I say-
She's a nutcase and so rude.
But I love her anyway.
I love her anyway.
I love her anyway.
I love her anyway. 

Northern Lights

Verse-1:
Northern lights, tell me a story of northern lights,
Tell me a story of a princess and a prince.
Or no, may be a sword made of laser beams,
Tell me a story of a farm boy with the dreams.
Oh wait, may be a witch with a magic peach,
Tell me a story of the sun set on the beach.
Pre-Chorus:
I promise, I’ll pay you back with a story of mine.
It’s more precious than the nickel or dime.
Chorus:
We are nothing but the stories that we make.
When I tell, I give a piece of my soul for you to take.
Verse-2:
Northern lights, tell me a story of northern lights,
Tell me a story where the villain dies.
Or no, may be a girl with the wings, who flies,
Tell me a story of a land where ocean dries.
Oh wait, may be the queen who cries every night,
Tell me a story of the rebels, who rise.   
Pre-Chorus:
I promise, I’ll pay you back with a story of mine.
It’s more precious than the nickel or dime.
Chorus:
We are nothing but the stories that we make.
When I tell, I give a piece of my soul for you to take.
We fearlessly enter magical territories.  
We forever live in each other through our stories.

Tube Light

Why are you picking fight?
Are you a tube light?
Why is your shirt so tight?
Showing your abs right?
Don’t be a tube light.

So pretentious and slow!
Such wannabe and low!
Fix your head right now.
Or I’ll call you a stupid cow.

So pretentious and slow!
Such wannabe and low!

I'll never swipe right.
Don’t be a tube light.

So pretentious and slow!
Such wannabe and low!
Fix your head right now.
Or I’ll call you a stupid cow.  
So pretentious and slow!
Such wannabe and low!
Fix your head right now.
Or I’ll call you a stupid cow.

Fairy Lights

Verse-1:
Twinkling fairy lights,
A garden full of fireflies,
Stars full of night skies,
Flicker in your pretty eyes.
Take me back to the sparkling days
Under the sky of bright sun rays.
Oblivious journey through the moon bathed lanes.
Pre-Chorus:
I loved and I lived.
I jived and hi-fived.
I climbed and I dived.
I jumped and arrived....
Chorus:
At the crossroad of memory lanes
Where all pains went down the drains
Where only happiness remains.
Verse-2:
Rolling of double dice,
Glass full of drink with ice,
All the girls that dress nice,
Pretty teachers who look wise.
Take me back to the sparkling days
Under the sky of bright sun rays.
Oblivious journey through the moon bathed lanes.
Pre-Chorus:
I loved and I lived.
I jived and hi-fived.
I climbed and I dived.
I jumped and arrived....
Chorus:
At the crossroad of memory lanes
Where all pains went down the drains
Where only happiness remains.
Verse-3:
Restless summer nights,
Running with flying kites,
All the boys with black ties,
Skin bruised with love bites.
Take me back to the sparkling days
Under the sky of bright sun rays.
Oblivious journey through the moon bathed lanes.
Pre-Chorus:
I loved and I lived.
I jived and hi-fived.
I climbed and I dived.
I jumped and arrived....
Chorus:
At the crossroad of memory lanes
Where all pains went down the drains
Where only happiness remains.

Unicorn


Verse-1
Rainbows, butterflies, unicorns and blue skies,
Every time I feel beauty, I die a little more inside.
Drum beat, bass groove, guitar strum and piano key
Every time I feel music, I begin to see the end of me. 
Chorus:
Gazing, running, chasing after the unicorn relentlessly,
Whenever I get close, it escapes a little further slowly.
Verse-2
Then I open my eyes, I realize the unicorn is me!
All this while I was chasing after myself, now I see.
I contain the beauty, motivation, perfection, ambition,
Stretched my hands outwards to touch my mere reflection.
Chorus:
Gazing, running, chasing after the unicorn relentlessly,
Whenever I get close, it escapes a little further slowly.
Bridge:
Needed to look inwards, needed to face the inner me.
Can't waste anymore time, now I need to live free.
Chorus:
Gazing, running, chasing after the unicorn relentlessly,
Whenever I get close, it escapes a little further slowly.
