High Fidelity Songtext
von Night Flight

17 and just a boy
Starting out my needlepoint
Barely formed a point of view
Let alone a path to hold on to

But I can feel it as the wind blows
I can feel it in the shadows
I can feel it as the wind blows, calling me

23, and caught between
Zealous work or playing the libertine
Backed myself to roll the dice
Out of lust, or love, or poor advice

But I can feel it as the wind blows
I can feel it in the shadows
I can feel it as the wind blows, calling me

"Is this the life you wanna lead?"
Still reaching
Blame it on high fidelity
Is it okay to always be still reaching?
Blame it on high fidelity


At 28, I contemplate
All the plans I laid and failed to make
Chasing tails, receding trust
And this endless heist of yearning luck

But I can feel it as the wind blows
I can feel it in the shadows
I can feel it as the wind blows, calling me

"Is this the life you wanna lead?"
Still reaching
Blame it on high fidelity
Is it okay to always be still reaching?
Blame it on high fidelity, ay-ay

Have I fallen away?
All my life falling away
Have I fallen away?
Fallen away, fallen away

Have I fallen away?
All my life falling away
Have I fallen away?
Fallen away, fallen away
