about
"Wie Ein Geist (Like A Ghost)" is a song about saying goodbye, about leaving and being left alone. Somebody leaves your life like a ghost, you get ghosted. Or you yourself become the ghost. Some situations and conversations are haunting you. Days get shorter, nights longer. Time to welcome the ghosts of your life.
In celebration of spooky season I finally release this song which so far has only been accessible in exhibitions as part of a homonymous video artwork.
lyrics
WIE EIN GEIST
Ich verlasse dein Leben
wie ein Geist
von jetzt an reist
du wieder
allein
Ich kann nicht mehr reden
mir fällt nichts mehr ein
jetzt kehrt endlich
jetzt kehrt endlich
Stille ein
Ich verlasse dein Leben
wie ein Geist
von jetzt an kreist
du wieder allein
um dich
Ich kann nicht mehr reden
mir fällt nichts mehr ein
jetzt kehrt endlich
jetzt kehrt endlich
Stille ein
Nur in Gedanken
gibt’s ein Für-Immer
alles wie vorher nur
irgendwie schlimmer
Nur in Gedanken
gibt’s ein Für-Immer
alles wie vorher nur
irgendwie
-
LIKE A GHOST
I am leaving your life
like a ghost
from now on
you’ll be traveling
alone again
I can’t talk anymore
can’t think of anything to say any more
now finally
now finally
it’s getting quiet
I’m leaving your life
like a ghost
from now on
you’ll be orbiting yourself
alone
I can’t talk anymore
can’t think of anything to say any more
now finally
now finally
it’s getting quiet
Only in thought
there’s a forever
everything like before
but somehow
worse
Only in thought
there’s a forever
everything like before
but somehow
