about

The pitch dark eyes of mortality slyly steal a glance. Each breath you disperse could be the last. When it's time to leave, you leave empty-handed, without the worry of the tangible. The intangible, on the other hand, is what liberates you.

This life is a gift. Tell your truth. Live it. Love it. Devour it. Affection becomes the ultimate plea, a longing for connection that transcends the boundaries of life and death. Nothing is the same without your existence; the sky loses its colour, and the earth turns barren, at least in my world.

The essence of existence, distilled into a single word—“you”, is the epitome of what once was, what is, and what shall forever be. In the face of death's embrace, the echoes of love, longing, and loss reverberate with those who matter to you. And the one who matters to them is you. Just you. Only you.

“Tu” is a Hindi word meaning “you”, alluding, in the context of the song, to the existential dance of life and death.
