The Song

 

Chris and Sven have been friends for a long time, and now they come with this catchy dark wave song. Chris composed the music and Sven wrote the lyrics.

This song is a part of an EP of the same name. It was released on July, 19th, 2024, and consists of this song and five more remixes.

For me, this track is a perfect song to dance to (in the BlutEngel and Solar Fake style).

Dark, electronic, and gothic, with these two German legends of music.

 

Lyrics

 

So is this all there is, nothing more to expect?

Chasing footsteps through the world and take whatever you get

Is it enough to act like you know what to do?

Is it enough to take the first thing heard as truth?

 

It’s just our lives we’re fakin’

It’s just ourselves we’re breakin’

 

With nothing left to leave here

and nothing left you could fear

And nothing left to break you

Nobody’s gonna take you home

And nothing left for you to feel

There’s no one left who could be healed

Nobody’s left to be loved

There’s nothing left, you’re all alone

 

It’s just our lives we’re fakin’

It’s just ourselves we’re breakin’

 

And then you realize your life has slipped away

While you try to be someone you’ll never be

But the time runs out and things don’t feel the same

And you try to find someone else to blame

 

With nothing left to leave here 

and nothing left you could fear

And nothing left to break you

Nobody’s gonna take you home

And nothing left for you to feel

There’s no one left who could be healed

Nobody’s left to be loved

There’s nothing left, you’re all alone

 

It’s just our lives we’re fakin’

It’s just ourselves we’re breakin’

 

With nothing left to leave here 

and nothing left you could fear

And nothing left to break you

Nobody’s gonna take you home

And nothing left for you to feel

There’s no one left who could be healed

Nobody’s left to be loved

There’s nothing left, you’re all alone

You’re all alone (you’re all alone)

You’re all alone (all alone)

You’re all alone (you’re all alone)

 

And nothing left for you to feel

There’s no one left who could be healed

Nobody’s left to be loved

There’s nothing left, you’re all alone

You’re all alone, all alone

You’re all alone
