about

"This record and especially this song is about the longing for solidarity, about how lonely we all feel if we try to take on the world all alone, in the workplaces, in the neighbourhoods, in times of crisis, fighting for our survival. I think everyone knows this feeling, especially in a time like this."

lyrics

1) these days i dont even feel my fingers
these days i dont even feel misplaced

our fire burned so bright once
the flame is almost gone
the engine is almost empty
we need to burn on

2) we fought like knights in shiny armour
we slaughter lives on battle gournds
we cut each others arms like cattle
we march in silence on our own

this ocean is so deep now
its full of monsters too
im so scared for your life now
and that other life too

3) we are blind dancers in an alley
we mislead each other in the dark
we should be holding hands at midnight
we should be beating hearts at dawn

but we're driven, driven creatures
we cannot help but long
we should be links in a chain now
we should be holding strong

4) we could b so much more than we are
we could be so much more than this
we are more than the sum of our parts
we are so much stronger than we think

we carry human frailty
but never get too far
sometimes we catch glimpses
of who we really are
