Thread: How do you say "The sacrifice of hiding in a lie" in Russian?

Ok, I missed this discussion. Your original attempt ("Кутаясь во лжи...") gave me an impression that you'd intended to say something like "Скрываясь за завесой лжи я теряю себя" (Hiding behind the curtain of lie I lose myself" (as in losing your identity). But I like the version with "погрязши" a lot.

Today has been an interesting day. :]
After thinking about all of my ideas, writing out everything in my classes instead of actually doing my work and spending all of my free time weighing my options, I decided to use some of what you said (the end result being: Погружённый во лжи, я теряю себя). I prefer your idea over the reflexive form. :]


Now I know exactly what I want. :]
