An introspective song, Chaddh De flows like a river. The song is about letting go of desires. It talks about how futile it is to fret over desires or wants when your time on earth is limited. It's about the futility of trying to control life when everybody's place is preordained and nothing one does can ever change that.
It was written by Lyricist Manoj during a low & depressive phase of his life. The lyrics literally mean 'oh fool let go' (of your desires). Clinton includes a remarkable string section in this song with the cello playing a prominent role..
