about

Aggrieved and discontented with the society and state of affairs, a child burns his memories and leaves his past behind. We follow him in his quest to run as far away as he can from his trauma to find purpose and bring about a change. Will he succeed in doing so or is the quest itself his purpose? Will he attain closure to all that has happened in honor of the transition away from what's finished to something new?

Quest featuring one of our biggest inspirations and guitar idol, Marty Friedman is a Prog Rock song in which we try to blend our Indian as well as Western influences. It touches on the topic of breaking the illusions of "me and mine" that most of us live with and get attached to. The song has introspective lyrics, questioning the true cause of our existence as humans, and how our ego, lust for money, power and greed make us feel separate from the world outside, while the world we see is not reality but a projection onto our consciousness.

lyrics

Aksar mera ye mann
Mujhse hai puchta,
Kya hai maksad tera yahan?

Kyun is bazaar mein
Khud ko yun bechata?
Kya hai Wajood tera yahan?

Nakaabi yeh sheher hai
Sab kuch yahaan fareb
Sawaalon mein gum hain hum aur tum
Khud ko hi uljha ke
Suljhaane mein lage
Qirdaar hain sab khoye hue

Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai

Scared of the truth,
We let the lies prevail.

The air smells of deceit,
I struggle to find my way

Tera yahaan kuch bhi nahi
Maaya ka jaal hi to hai
Tujhko lage sab hai tera
Ye ek khayaal hi to hai
