Dirnig (2019)

from 1969 - album (2019) by HöFLICH

about

It is a remix and remaster of the song I released as a single last year, "Dirnig", it also has a new guitar track that is the closest thing we could get to a 12-string sound without having a 12-string guitar in the room. The video is an adaptation of the original video, which is still available. I was also lucky to get help with the track from some amazing musicians, to whom I will always be in debt. I hope you have as much fun with this song as I did!!

lyrics

There's no confession without falsehood
We are victims of conceit and rumor
Flowers of vanity and full of pretention
We've been lashed by the tendrils of madness
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did?
Or will we simply wait in line?
Creatures of ego unaware of our blindness
We’ve been fooled into living life backwards

We blaze contentious throughout the mornings
Begging the future to protect our kingdoms
Dodging the arrows that burst our delusions
We live on planets of hallucination
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did?
Or will we simply wait in line?
We assume that we've mastered reality
And we think that's air we are breathing

Drenched in the sweat of our mutual boredom
We have licensed the death of our spirits
The wind of inanity blows through the ghost towns
Of our passions and keenest desires
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did?
Or will we simply wait in line?
Facing down fantasy in the boardroom
We emphasize our mutual envy

Our children will overtake us
They own the future we strive to take for ourselves
The finishing line is a moving target
Forever focusing us on our failures
Will we walk the line like Johnny Cash did?
Or will we simply wait in line?
Life is a journey without an object
Without our courage we really have nothing
Without our courage we really have nothing
Without our courage we really are
