Description
There is something about this sound that resembles a conversation with a ghost - as if a shadow has passed through the room and the air has become thicker. Everything around seems familiar, but slightly shifted: faces, voices, memories - foreign copies of what was once familiar. The music lingers like smoke after a match, and in it you can hear that very ‘too late’ that cannot be corrected by words or time.
This is a story about letting go not of people, but of your reflections in them. Cold, warmth, silence - everything is intertwined, and all that remains is a request: ‘Leave the door open.’ Not in case of a return, but simply so that the light from the past can shine a little into the darkness.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Stranger
Now you're a ghost of
Who you were
Wearing a skin
Of a face
I once knew
A face i once loved
Oh you changed
Oh I'll be a shadow
That walks right beside you
The silence you dream
When your head
Gets too loud
I'll warm your heart
In your need
Lover
Is what we used to be
Closer
Than the devil that sings our
Goodbye song
Yesterday
I'm leaving the lights on
Keep the door open
In case you're coming back home
I'll eat strands of your hair
That i found in my bed
To see if i can feel you
I'll wait for more forevermore
I'm leaving the lights on
Keep the door open
Got to you
Felt your touch
Dreamt your dreams
And it lingers
Got to you
Felt your grace
Swam your sea
And it lingers
Got to you
Taste your lips
Wrote you songs
And it lingers
Loved by you
Breathed your air
Ghosted out
And it fucking lingers
I'm leaving the lights on
Keep the door open
In case you're coming back home
I'll eat strands of your hair
That i found in my bed
To see if i can feel you
I'm leaving the lights on
I'm leaving the lights on
I'll wait for more forevermore
And i'll wait for more forevermore
I'm leaving the lights on
Keep the door open
