Song Meaning of “Nenjinullil” by Sanjeev T
Nenjinullil, written by Sanjeev T, is an entrancing and emotive folk song about lost love and longing. It speaks to the human condition – of how a person can be consumed by a broken heart and unable to move on. The narrator expresses the depth of emotion they feel for this lost love which, despite the passing of time, is ever present. The refrain of the song “Nenjinullil…ennu kanivode” captures the narrator’s deep longing – to know what could have been had the love not been lost.
The plaintive melody and evocative lyrics further emphasize the tug of nostalgia, and the melancholia of unfulfilled love – of how memories can linger in the heart, not allowing the narrator to heal and move forward. It’s a poignant exploration of the strength of feelings that accompany failure in love – and how this momentary failure can define us, being at the same time a source of pain, but also a reminder of what was and what could have been.
