about

Imagine this: VR headset on, the world shut out — and yet you’ve never felt more lost. With “Digital Oblivion,” the Leipzig-based art and music project PAHL! releases their new song and video — raising a question few dare to ask out loud: What remains of us when everything is digital?

The track dives into our digitized present — digital meetings, digital friendships, digital money, digital forgetting. And then, in the middle of it all: a pause. A moment to look up. The warmth of real tears on real cheeks.

“Put your cameras down / And raise your eyes to see.”

lyrics

This is what we want
For our lifes
Everybody everytime
Will ever strive
Let's face the truth
We love our freedom
In Digital
Oblivion

Digitise your footprint
Digital meetings today
Digital are your friends
And Digital your workplace
Digital money you earn
Digital games to play
Digital one
Digital two
Digital is all around you!

This is what we want
For our lifes
Everybody everytime
Will ever strive
Let's face the truth
We love our freedom
In Digital
Oblivion

Stop to swipe
No need to scroll
Let your thumbs rest for this little song
Put your cameras down
And raise your eyes to see

You need to face the pain
When you see your love again
Feel the heat of tears
Rolling down on your cheeks
While your stomach turns
And Your heart pounds wild

Be alive
Be strong and wild
Proud to be a human
Proud to be a human

Feeling deserted
Feeling alone
Raise your fist to fight



This is what we want
For our lifes
Everybody everytime
Will ever strive
Let's face the truth
We love our freedom
In Digital
Oblivion

This is what we want
For our lifes
Everybody everytime
Will ever strive
Let's face the truth
We love our freedom
In Digital
Oblivion
