Featureless Ghost's approach to live electronic and vocal performance oscillates
between the ecstatic experience and the darker moments on the dancefloor.
Performing and recording music together since 2007, Matt Weiner and Elise Tippins
relocated from Brooklyn to Atlanta and formed Featureless Ghost in late 2010.
Since then, the prolific duo has released cassette EP's for Night-People and Crash
Symbols and their debut vinyl LP, "Personality Matrix," on Night-People in October 2012.
Featureless Ghost continues to draw attention both locally and abroad for their distinct
version of industrial strength synth-wave, commanding male/female vocals,
and for their dancefloor-ready performances and recordings.

Featureless Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you will know the light is above
it open as I'm hoping defeat
and all good heart as I open the.
Flash light, don't look back then
flash light, uh it's following me
the flash flash, don't look back back
When I'm providing with my thought
the ones who view don't stop
my.undress to the top of my mouth,
my hand dream as they open the shout
The side.on myself
sun painting images
all the way is to forget
the way that you treat it.
A flash flash, don't look back back
a flash flash, uh it's following me
.can't find it,
look it, it's smiling
there are a thousand that I.in
but if follows me, now it's following
Flash flash flash, flash
The lyrics of Featureless Ghost's song "Flash" reveal a deeply introspective and metaphorical exploration of the theme of self-discovery. The first verse talks about going within one's own mind and finding the light, which symbolizes a moment of realization or clarity. It urges the listener to keep moving forward with an open heart and mind, willing to take defeat in their stride. The chorus "Flash light, don't look back then, flash light, uh it's following me" also seems to allude to the idea that once you have seen the light, you cannot unsee it or go back to your previous state of mind. The light becomes a part of you, and you need to embrace it and move forward, even if it is difficult.
The second verse seems to suggest that when the singer is providing or sharing their thoughts, there becomes a certain level of vulnerability that exposes them to criticism or judgment. However, they keep moving forward, expressing their deepest desires and hopes, ultimately shouting them out and embracing them fully. The third verse, "The side on myself, sun painting images, all the way is to forget the way that you treat it" can be seen as a metaphor for self-acceptance, where the singer recognizes that their true self and their perceptions are more important than how others treat or perceive them.
Overall, the song "Flash" seems to be a powerful message about the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It advocates for moving forward with an open heart and mind, embracing the light, even if it means leaving old ways and people behind. The song asks the listener to be vulnerable, to introspect, to grow, to accept oneself and to take risks.
