The Blind Eye
of the Sun

A psychedelic reflection on opportunity, resistance, and the light we choose not to see. “The Blind Eye of the Sun” moves between shadow and illumination, exploring what happens when comfort becomes easier than change.

“The night sky won’t erase your pain, the sun may prick a bit but in the end there is more to gain.”

Mugulunage

“Mugulunage” looks at fear, ego, ownership, and the excuses we build around living. It asks what remains when we stop measuring ourselves against others and face life directly, returning to a simple idea: life needs a smile, not a parade of excuses.

Lyrics by Shrivatsa Music by Hrudai Vocals by Jeetu Solo by Shreyank

Is My Life
a Number?

On “Is My Life a Number?”, Hrudai turns a culture obsessed with competition and measurement into a broader question of identity. The song examines grades, admissions culture, comparison, and the quiet damage of measuring a person through scores, status, and achievement.

“Is my life a number?”

LONGTIME

“LONGTIME” personifies Time itself, turning it into a voice with its own frustrations, perspective, and relationship with humanity. Through stark imagery and introspective writing, the song questions the way we measure, waste, fear, and depend on time.
