Song Meaning of “Aankhon Mein Neendein (From “We Are Family”)” by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
This uplifting, romantic song from the 2010 film We Are Family is a testament to the power of love and togetherness. Sung by Shankar Mahadevan, the song is a heartfelt plea of longing in which the narrator expresses his innermost feelings of love for someone. He’s filled with desire for their union, and these overwhelming emotions are laid bare with an earnestness that captivates the listener.
The allusion to “eyes full of dreams” implies hope and optimism, accompanied by a romantic, longing for the realization of those dreams. The narrator speaks of his desire to wrap his loved one in his arms, of gazing into each other’s eyes, of feeling like the love two of hearts have found one another and nothing, not even the stars in the sky can keep them apart.
The chorus summarizes the sentiment of the song – that no matter what comes between them, the love for one another will remain strong and eternal. It speaks of a joy and liberation that can be found when two souls recognize the beauty of their love and of being in each other’s company.
This song speaks to the everlasting beauty of true love and companionship, and of how each person can be a part of the other’s world, no matter where they go in life, and how no force can break the bond between two true lovers.
