The Narrative & MeaningThe song describes a woman as a "mystical illusion" (Swapna Mayawaki) who creates a world of both hope and despair.

The Duality: The lyrics highlight the emotional rollercoaster of love. The woman is described as the source of both "cooling streams of affection" (Snehe Gangul) and the "burning pains of love" (Preme Thawul).The "Illusion": Victor Rathnayake uses the term Indrajale (magic/illusion) to describe her. She is portrayed as someone who is constantly present in his mind, both day and night (Diwa Raye ma langai).

The Imagery: The lyrics contrast the "breeze of love" that can burn (Dawalanna pem maruthe) with her presence that can also soothe life's sorrows (Niwalanna duk jeevithe).

The Composition: As with most of Victor’s work, he composed the music himself. It features a refined arrangement, often utilizing the sitar and violin to create a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere that matches the "illusion" theme.

Vocal Texture: Victor sings this with a gentle, controlled passion. Unlike the theatrical style of film songs, this is meant for listening—a hallmark of the Sarala Gee genre where the poetry is as important as the melody.
