The Paradox of Existence "Dode jongens drijven" (Dead Boys Float) is one of the most haunting and original songs on the album. Nicart manages to use a macabre image—floating corpses—as a metaphor for someone who becomes withdrawn, while paradoxically still fully enjoying life. It is a masterpiece full of contrasts that both grates and moves. The lyrical power of this song lies in the sharp contrasts and the surreal imagery. The composition of "Dode jongens drijven" supports the oppressive atmosphere of the lyrics with an atmospheric melancholy. "Dode jongens drijven" is an artistically daring track that forces the listener to reflect on what it means to be truly 'seen'. With this song, John Nicart proves that he is a master at capturing complex psychological states in tangible, albeit sometimes gruesome, images. It is a highlight in his oeuvre that, thirty years later, still blows through the soul like a cold wind. Translated lyrics: Dead guys float But I'm still alive I enjoy the scent of the flowers I enjoy the buzzing of the bees Do I then not have the right To Recognition of Existence? Only in your presence Do I swim through the earth I walk in the air I fly underwater But judging by your reaction Am I as dead as a doornail Dead guys float But I'm still alive I enjoy the scent of the flowers I enjoy the buzzing of the bees Do I then not have the right To Recognition of Existence? Dust in the cold wind It comes across like this Am I no more than that A vague memory Dust I am and to dust Shall I return to you Dead guys float But I'm still alive I enjoy the scent of the flowers I enjoy the buzzing of the bees Do I then not have the right To Recognition of Existence? Rest in peace Written on your face Rust in Vrede Written on your face Requiscat in pace But I'm still alive As long as you carry me In your bleeding heart Filled with tears Where dead guys float A living dead Dead guys float But I'm still alive I enjoy the scent of the flowers I enjoy the buzzing of the bees Do I then not have the right To Recognition of Existence? - Mastered by mixea.commore
