After ten concerts, four singles and an album the group split up at the end of 1982. GT and Marco Repetto formed together with the former Glueams guitarist Martin Pavlinec and the drummer Dominique Uldry, the band „Missing Link“, later „Eigernordwand“. GT supplemented the futurism oriented performance group „Red Catholic Orthodox Jewish Chorus “ around performance artist Edy Marconi, in which occasionally Marco Repetto also played. Later the group changed their name to „I Suonatori“. Stephan Eicher started a successful solo career. 1988 published Martin Eicher his solo-EP „Spellbound Lovers“. Marco Repetto started in 1989 a new career as Techno and Ambient DJ, musician and producer (a.o. mittageisen v2). The band is most famous for their 1981 hit "Eisbär" ("Polar Bear"), which was later covered by the French band Nouvelle Vague. The single went to #12 in Germany and #6 in Austria.
After leaving the group, Stephan Eicher embarked on a solo career in France.
Der Weg zu zweit
Grauzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wir tragen Sterne
Wir wollen lachen
Und wollen scherzen
Dann wieder weinen
Und traurig scheinen.
So muss das sein, so wird das sein
Der Weg zu zweit ist halb soweit
Wir beissen Scherben
Versuchen Gifte
Kräftig hassen
Zärtlich lieben
Etwas finden um es zu verlieren.
So muss das sein, so wird das sein
Der Weg zu zweit ist halb soweit
The lyrics of Grauzone's song Der Weg zu zweit speaks of the complexities of a romantic relationship. The first stanza of the song talks about the varied emotions that the couple experiences together - laughter, teasing, sadness, and sorrow. The repetition of the phrase 'Wir tragen Sterne', which means 'we carry stars', alludes to the idea that beneath all the emotions and complexities, there is still something beautiful and celestial in love. The second line of the stanza, 'Wir wollen lachen und wollen scherzen', which means 'we want to laugh and joke', signifies the idea that even in the midst of pain or sadness, a couple can still experience moments of happiness and joy.
The second stanza talks about the couple trying to overcome difficult situations together. They face challenges, symbolized by 'biting shards' and 'trying poison', but they also have moments of intense love and hatred. The line 'Etwas finden um es zu verlieren', which means 'finding something to lose', denotes the idea that sometimes in love, we actively seek out things or situations that we know could hurt us. The chorus repeats the phrase 'so muss das sein, so wird das sein', which means 'that's how it should be, that's how it will be'. This line suggests that despite the challenges, the couple will continue to face them together, as it is an inevitable part of love. The line 'Der Weg zu zweit ist halb soweit' which means 'the path taken together is easier', signifies the idea that navigating through life together as a couple is easier than alone.
Overall, the song Der Weg zu zweit touches upon the highs and lows of a romantic relationship, including the happy moments, the difficulties, the intense emotions, and the self-sabotaging behavior that can come with it. Ultimately, the song suggests that despite everything, love is worth pursuing and worth all the struggles that come with it.

Was diesen Song so unvergleichlich macht, ist die desparate Stimme des Sängers. Eine wunderbare melancholische Ballade , die unter die Haut geht.
