Love, Love 05:07
stuck in the routine time's such a bore withered by the hour i'm looking for someone to get me out of here something to make me feel the love inside of me love silently love is all i seek love, love daylight disappears as you speak your thoughts shock the heavens they're sure you're a freak but you're as real as one gets your words i won't forget love sweet disease love not for the weak love word on the street love, love i used to fall asleep on the chair only to wake up in my bed after all these years that have passed it's what i wish would last indefinitely pretty please what i seek is love locked into motion on the window seat lost in the moment i began to breathe my life staring back at me my reflection had me see the love inside of me love endlessly love honestly love pure mystery love will set you free love, love

Stargazer 04:53
i refuse to believe all that i am told i'm a creature of my own thoughts call me what you must while i draw my luck it's not over until i say so when all is said and done will you believe in me? you see you will never be the same but you sure can go back and start again feel again the moon is out to shine and the stars align yet here we are living a lie that i deny when i decide that i just want to see the stars in the sky and i just like to feel alive sometimes sometimes

Zidd 03:58
पहली सुबह मैं सो रहा हूँ यहाँ ख्वाबों में जी रहा हूँ ज़रा दिल मेरा है मांगता जो है लिखा उन हाथो ने तकदीर में मेरे लिए ज़िद्द पे अड़ा मैं बेपनाह तेरे बिना क्या रखा है यहाँ हवाओं से कहता हूँ यह मेरी जान पहली सुबह मैं सो रहा हूँ यहाँ नज़ारों में जी रहा हूँ ज़रा जो है मेरा वह भी खुदा ना छीन सका मुझसे जो मैंने चाहा वह चख गया ज़िद्द पे अड़ा हूँ जबसे ज़िंदा हूँ तबसे पहली सुबह पहली सुबह पहली सुबह मैं सो रहा हूँ

Saturnine 06:03
darkness comes in waves and wipes the smile off her face she says she is dead inside one look in her eyes makes the sun disappear here come the overcast skies i have felt this way since i was a child she says all alone in the crowd she turned to a world that no one else has seen or understands her little world of overcast skies she is lying in the sand by herself waiting for someone to come and hold her hands never seen someone so saturnine in my time i'll make her mine never seen someone so saturnine saturnine she's one of a kind in my mind i reconcile the wreckage of a broken lie all the time left behind saturnine never seen someone so saturnine in my time i'll make her mine never seen someone so saturnine saturnine saturnine

Moist 07:13
will you take my youth away? or will you let me wear it out? i can change i won’t age when i can i will seize the time off your hands will you drain my innocence? or will you let me make it last? i can change i won’t decay when i can i will seize the time off your hands and run away so far away in reverse i won’t age i know the way when i can i will steal the life from your heart and run away so far away in reverse

Last Night 05:43
last night i watched the sunrise red skies above the town a million miles from where i am now last night i kissed her good night morning sipping tea i felt the pang of nostalgy past life marred the town despite all the disquiet a certain silence numbed me down are you there? are you there? last night i watched the moon die outcries shook the ground last night she waved goodbye as she turned around a certain darkness devoured the town are you there? are you there? hey! are you there? please come here can you hear me? can you hear me? can you hear me? can you hear me?

Ishq 01:55
एक ख्वाब है जो इस तरह उसकी आँखों के काजल में है छुपा की देखू मैं घर मेरा नैनों में है बसा मेरा जहाँ इश्क़ है इश्क़ है इश्क़ है मुझको इश्क़ है इश्क़ है इश्क़ है इश्क़ है तुझसे इश्क़ है

In The Blur 03:59
will you take my youth away? or will you let me wear it out? i can change i won't age when i can i will seize the time off your hands will you drain my innocence? or will you let me make it last? i can change i won't decay when i can i will seize the time off your hands and run away so far away in reverse i won't age i know the way when i can i will steal the life from your heart and run away so far away in reverse

Ae Khuda 04:30
ऐ जहाँ ऐ समाँ ऐ खुदा कहाँ है छुपा मैं ढूंड़ता ही रहा क्या से क्या हो गया इस जहाँ से तू हो गया जुदा आसमाँ भी रो पड़ा तेरे बिना ऐ खुदा तू कहाँ है छुपा क्या सज़ा है सह रहा यह इंसान क्यों कह रहा पंछी था मैं कायर बन गया तेरे बिना ऐ खुदा तू कहाँ है छुपा नज़रे तू मिला क्यों गिर गया लौट आ ऐ खुदा क्या हुई मुझसे खता ऐ खुदा ऐ खुदा ऐ खुदा ऐ खुदा ऐ खुदा ऐ खुदा मान जा

about

"This is just a dream"

Includes: Stargazer, Ae Khuda and Last Night.

Khwab is the debut studio album by the alternative rock band Minaxi. The sound on the album combines elements from psychedelia, shoegazing, hard rock, dream pop and sufi. Khwab draws on the themes of love, loss, freedom, faith, home, self-respect, rage, beauty, angst, nostalgia, fate, laughter, courage and dreams.

With a combination of melodies, wall-of-guitar feedback, ethereal textures and lyrics penned in English and Hindi, the album is intended to carry the listener through a sonic dream that flows from one end of the spectrum to another.

"Seemingly seething and prone to bursts of guitar and drums, the shoegaze song seems like an earnest plea to a god".
— Rolling Stone (India) on "Ae Khuda".

"So, Hudson News-sourced headphones in jack (and MG garlic bread in mouth), I hit play, and to the sheer bewilderment—and probably horror—of every nearby traveler and TSA agent in the crowded terminal, proceeded to do what one does when they hear a song like "Stargazer". That is, simply, jam the fuck out".
— Bands Do BK

"The band freely uses elements of synth, shoegaze and rock to come up with a sound that is old-school and nostalgic and yet sounds like something fresh that’s merely a few listens away from being the next big thing".
— Rock Street Journal

"I listened to your song "Stargazer" on SoundCloud, and it hooked me instantly; it sounded like the best song Swervedriver never wrote".
— Sean Padilla (Happy Nomad Booking)

"What a motherfucker of a song!"
— Patrick Hunt on "Moist"
