Tapas Lyrics

I'm open for your arms Present in your arms In the company of your arms I surrender to arms connected to all living things Each mindful breath brings me closer Raise my heart and sing Gala Jai Ma Gala Jai Take from me all that is unclean Ma! Ma! I only live If I let you live I only feel If I let you speak through me I'm the heavens you want to touch me I'm the fire in your bellies I am earth you want to dig me I'm your water you need me I am flesh you don't need me but you sink your teeth into me I am earth if you dig me You can't stand your feet without me I'm the heavens no one can see me I am fire you abused meI'm the earth you've scarred for money I'm your mother I made love for you and you just fucked me Mother fucker My love, my blood is clean burning fuel My skin will tremble at your touch I will erupt for you I will get you off me When I skin myself alive I will survive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Tapas in Sanskrit means "heat". In Vedic religion and Hinduism, it is used figuratively, denoting spiritual suffering,...[read the rest here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas_(Sanskrit)

"Gala Jai Ma Gala Jai" is also Sanskrit

Gala means oozing, flowing, liquefying

Jai means waning, perishing

Ma is the first person, a pronoun

so a loose translation may go along these lines- "pouring out, perishing, I am pouring out, perishing"
