Siddhartha's Playlist

  "Sweater Weather" The Neighbourhood.
"All I am is a man, I want the world in my hands" "Head in the clouds, but my gravity centered"
   Siddhartha would have enjoyed this song in the beginning of the novel. Siddhartha was a Brahmin but still was a regular person who thirsted for wisdom. Though Siddhartha was constantly changing his beliefs it was all for the common goal of achieving enlightenment.

   "Miss Independent" Ne-Yo
"Do, she got me thinking about getting involved" "She got her own thing that's why I love her"
   This son would be in Siddhartha's playlist because it reflects how he felt about Kamala when he first saw her. She lured him into the world of desire. She had a high status in her profession and Siddhartha loved her for this.

   "Who Knew" Pink
"And that last kiss I'll cherish until we meet again and time makes it harder I wish I could remember but I keep your memory, You visit me in my sleep, my darling"
   Siddhartha would listen to this song after Kamala's death. These lyrics would be able to help Siddhartha cope with the grief of losing Kamala.

  "Wait For You" Elliot Yamin
"I've never felt nothing in the world like this before and I'm wishing you would come back through my door"
   These lyrics reflect the love that Siddhartha felt for his son. Siddhartha would be able to relate to the words because he has never loved someone so much.Though Siddhartha knew his son would be safe he still desired for his son to come back and to love him.

   "Russian Roullette" Rihanna
"So just pull the trigger as my life flashes before my eyes. I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?So many won't get the chance to say good-bye, but it's late to think of the value of my life"
   Siddhartha begins to contemplate suicide and almost does commit but he pulls through. Siddhartha would enjoy these lyrics because they represent Siddhartha's internal conflict between life and death.
