about

The song is right in the middle between indietronica and wave and works it's way from a four on the floor electronica to an industrial finale. Performed mainly with a 2600 synth and electric guitar plus a dark voice and melancholic lyrics.

lyrics

Headless times and thoughtless castles

In my old head, all day and all night,
dreams sleep on wooden floors
in bottom drawers, they try to hide
in silent rooms with yawning doors
and among them you find my well-worn words,
swords of golden rust
like ghosts wrapped in white blankets,
they leave traces in the dust

Let's steal the blankets from the ghosts
and cover every little thought
start the Rolls, close the door, we are heading for
headless times and thoughtless castles

I am out of wisdom, I am out of soul
I am out of beauty, I am out of goals
I am out of you, my love, I am out of you
When I have lost myself, you will have lost me too

Think of the broken yellow cupboard where I used to hide my love
The moths ate my tuxedo there, now the truth wears socks and gloves
Tin cups filled with doubts in numerical order, my childhood strangled with a rubber band
I hope that I enjoyed the eight hour sleep between puberty and mid-life's end

Let's steal the blankets from the ghosts
and cover every little thought
start the Rolls, close the door, we are heading for
headless times and thoughtless castles

Cover all the mirrors, maids, cover all my words
Take every blanket you can find
Let the dust fall down tonight
On the white blankets in my mind
