Towards the light, at the end of the tunnel

 

There are practically no female voices in Pakistan’s Rock music scene and it’s in dire need of new talent in that area and Dilara couldn’t have picked a better time to show up.

A commercial writer by profession, she claims music to have always been her first true love. She fell in love with it when she was 8 years old, when she remembers her sisters listening to popular music of that time. But her interest in Rock music developed much later.

Dilara finally got her break when she came to know members of a renowned band AaroH of Pakistan . A good friend and also the producer of her first single, Kamran is the one she gives the credit to for making her dream come true.

The lyrics and composition give "You’re the one" a dejected feel. It starts off with an eerie, crooning voice and the words expresses regret of making mistakes and the wasted attempts to correct them and the anger and pain of a woman weathered and torn is unleashed in the chorus. This song is Dilara’s first attempt at song writing though she does have some more coming soon.

You’re the one

Lyrics

I tried to tell the truth

But you just wouldn’t listen

I tried to reason with you

But you wouldn’t understand

I tried to be with you

You just don’t know how much I cried

I tried to give you up

But my heart just wouldn’t let you go

Music

I tried to make it right

But you just won't give up the fight

I tried to make you see

But you didn't wanna be with me

I tried to let you know

What your love really meant to me

I tried to put it past

But your haunting love just wouldn’t last

Chorus

You lied, you cheated

And you’re the one who created

The rumor, the blather

But nothin' else matters

I love you

I miss you

You're the only one

I wanna be with you

I need you

I want you

You're the only one

I wanna be with you

I tried to kill my pain

But you took my mind over again

I tried to forget the days

But your memory just won’t fade away

I wanted to let it go

You just donno how much I tried

I tried to end it all

But it all just starts over again

Music

Chorus

You lied, you cheated

And you’re the one who created

The rumor, the blather

But nothin' else matters

I love you

I miss you

You're the only one

I wanna be with you

I need you

I want you

You're the only one

I wanna be with you

I tried to tell the truth

But you just wouldn’t listen

I tried to reason with you

But you wouldn’t understand

I tried to be with you

You just don’t know how much I cried

I tried to give you up

But my heart just wouldn’t let you go

I tried to make it right

But you just won't give up the fight

I tried to make you see

But you didn't wanna be with me

I tried to let you know

What your love really meant to me

I tried to put it past

But your haunting love just wouldn’t last

I tried to kill my pain

But you took my mind over again

I tried to forget the days

But your memory just won’t fade away

I wanted to let it go

You just donno how much I tried

I tried to end it all

But it all just starts over again.
