Lyrics:
chorus
I was caught in the middle
spent way too long feeling lost and refused
now I got my foot on the pedal
so I wear my roots like a medal
Verse 1
At my grandma’s house
Jackfruit and puttu
Still a dinner time staple
I can’t leave here, I stay put
I can’t leave here, I stay put
Chorus
I was… I was… I was caught in the middle
spent way too long feeling lost and refused
now I got my foot on the pedal
so I wear my roots like a medal…
Verse 2
3 nought 4 with the neighbours
house number 14 got bodied
cards we’ve been dealt with are not in our favour
but we work better as a set
Chorus
I was caught in the middle…
Verse 3
Pig tails and long skirts
Bicycle rides to tuition
Uncle on the way in a red shirt
Dodging bullets with intuition
Khaki ain’t my colour
Camo ain’t a style
I wear my roots like a medal
I Wear my roots like a medal
Bridge
Generational traumas
fear and rest of the mental dilemmas
weighed heavy on me
I didn’t know how to make it stop
I didn’t know how to make it stop
I didn’t know how to make it stop
it was another night
catching a red eye
i met a girl named Karma
she said “traveller, skip the line”,
led the way to baggage drop
then, I flew leaving no footprints behind
for the first time
I tasted freedom
abandoned them baggages
never went to claim em’
My past is written on my body
My future is all in my mind
My past is written on my body
My future is all in my mind
I was caught in the middle
spent way too long feeling lost and refused
Now I got my foot on the pedal
So I wear my roots like a medal

Intha Vella kaka tholla thangalaya
My sister, when shes hungry 😂
You sound so otherworldly, like an alien. It's so gorgeous, can't believe how artful the drums are too ❤
I watched it in mute 😂😂😂😂
Love this, Ta mil druming makes it more of a sensationso video
Guys listen to Billy Holiday, hear the similarities Dheee should be an international sensation at some point. I'm not crazy for Las Vagas but with a classy wardrobe, her own material, maybe some hip South African songs,and then a few American jazz classics, well you fill in the rest.
What an an incredible voice, reminds me of Billy Holiday without the raspiness.
I've looked up Jackfruit and puttu and I can only find notes and recipes from Kerala. I found a jackfruit curry from Sri Lanka but not a Sri Lankan version of the recipe? Could someone please clarify, is she saying that her grandma is from Kerala or is Jackfruit and puttu also a Sri Lankan recipe?
Thangatchi ippo intha Maathiri Arippedutha paattu paada arambitchittaanga
The voice is annoying af
Did anyone notice rejani kanth
New found love, sri lanka! Been in december. The perfect blend, south indians (tamils) and buddhists (i follow buddhist philosophy) ... awaiting to visit sri lanka deeper. Dhee rocks ❤

Nonsense song kuch bhi
Theme of this song conveys a sense of pride, identity, resilience, and connection to one's cultural roots. It implies that the speaker values their heritage and wears it like a badge of honor, celebrating their unique identity and the traditions that have shaped them.मैं अपनी विरासत को गर्व से पहनती हूँ/मेरी जड़ें मेरी ताकत हैं। The phrase can be interpreted as a symbol of resilience and strength, where the speaker's roots have helped them navigate challenges and overcome obstacles. By wearing her roots like a medal, they are acknowledging the struggles they have faced and the triumphs they have achieved.
