peer agreement (net): +7sighted on the dance floor, completely in a world of their own ... Explanation: losgelöst has two hidden references: 1) a song from the neuen deutschen Wellen "völlig losgelöst" (von der Erde), with reference to David Bowie´s Space Oddity 2) Losgelöst von irdischen Belangen etwas tun wie tanzen, heißt, in anderen Welten schweben (from Cécile) Maybe my proposal is better with "completely" left out, it spoils the rhythm, which in this apparent context is all-important. |
