"Zunn: Showgirls of Pakistan" reveals a world tightly controlled by an often violent mafia where showgirls must negotiate their place in the industry. At the same time, their offstage lives are made difficult by a patriarchal and puritanical society that consumes yet rejects them.
lyrics
bari-yaan ashiq mazaj akh-khaan teri-yaan
way bado badee laree jandi-yaan
bari-yaan ashiq mazaj akh-khaan teri-yaan
way bado badee laree jandi-yaan
hoshaan lut kay, chura kay neendaan meri-yaan
way dus aay kee karee jandi-yaan
bari-yaan ashiq mazaj akh-khaan teri-yaan
way bado badee laree jandi-yaan
yar kawan, dakoo kawaan, kee kawaan tainoon way
lut phut laya pehlee nazray tu meinoon way
yar kawan, dakoo kawaan, kee kawaan tainoon way
lut phut laya pehlee nazray tu meinoon way
mairay dil uttay naa tera likh-yaa
way neray ho kay parhee jaan di-yaan
bari-yaan ashiq mizaj akh-khaan teri-yaan
way bado badee laree jandi-yaan

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. AG319 Alt Acc
