About "Dil Mi Ravad"
The piece speaks about helplessness (of losing one’s heart: a metaphor for loss of control that is accompanied by an awakening of the human consciousness), of surrender (as a coping mechanism to this loss of control; hence also a lesson in ego-surrender: the first step towards liberation & enlightenment). It is also a statement against establishment forces that rob a person of their choice, of their soul, for their own agendas: be it religious or political establishment.
The English spoken word lyric in the bridge of the song, just before the Flamenco-Tabla outro, speaks of the same: death of the self, giving way to a newer, liberated self.
