"No Gray"
Artist: Jonathan McReynolds
Lyrics: And if it's god I'm after

I can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can't just have my cake and eat it too
Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like that
I gotta to be white or black

Explanation: Siddhartha had realized that the gambling lifestyle wasn't for him. He realized that he couldn't do that and reach nirvana at the same time. These would probably be his favorite lyrics from this song. 

"Identity"
Artist: Lecrae (feat. Da' T.R.U.T.H. & J.R.)
Lyrics: I'm not the shoes I wear
I'm not the clothes I buyI'm not the house I live inI'm not the car I drive, noI'm not the job I workYou can't define my worth

Explanation: Siddhartha decided to fast and live the non-wealthy lifestyle with the Samanas. You can't define somebody based on their worth because money does not buy happiness. Siddhartha would agree completely with these lyrics because you can be the happiest person alive and have completely nothing. It's all about attitude. 

"How to Love"
Artist: Lil Wayne
Lyrics: See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't ever figure outHow to loveHow to love

Explanation: Kamala was trying to teach Siddhartha how to love. Siddhartha probably wouldn't have figured it out himself without Kamala. These lyrics kind of make think of Siddhartha asking Kamala "How to love."

"I Gotta Find Peace of Mind"
Artist: Lauryn Hill 
Lyrics: I gotta find peace of mind, "I know you are never goin' to"
I gotta find peace of mindSee, this is what that voice in your head saysWhen you try to get peace of mindI gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind

Please don't let me disgrace, will my devotion last?

Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse
Keeping me from your love, what was I thinkin' of
Holdin' me from ya love, what was I thinkin' of
That old me is left behind
You are my peace of mind
That old me is left behind there

You are my peace of mind

Explanation: Siddhartha dealing with Kamala teaching him how to love and him finding his inner peace or "nirvana", I think that these lyrics would be important to him. When Kamala had told Siddhartha that he had a son, he had already reached nirvana and he was a new Siddhartha. He found peace and everything else was left behind. 

"Travelin' Man"

Artist: Bob Seger

Lyrics: 
Travelin' man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'
Travelin' man, catch if you can
But sooner than later I'm goin'
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soulThose are the memories that made me a wealthy soul

Explanation: This explains when Siddhartha wanted to leave the Brahmans. He had to get his fathers permission. His father denied it but Siddhartha was going to go regardless. Siddhartha was leaving his home, and it would be a lot of memories that made him as a person and that he is leaving behind. Siddhartha would agree with these lyrics
