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.
In der Nacht
Grauzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So endlos, so endlos
Tränen in der Nacht
Ich liebe Dich
So endlos, so endlos
Sie warten auf mich
Sie warten auf mich
Du spührst sie nicht
Du siehst sie nicht
Tränen in der Nacht
Ich such Deine Hände
The lyrics to Grauzone's song "In der Nacht" convey a sense of melancholy and longing. The repetition of "Tränen in der Nacht" (Tears in the night) emphasizes the depth of sadness and the overwhelming feeling of endless tears. The singer expresses their love for someone, despite the tears and the darkness that they feel. The line "Ich liebe Dich" (I love you) underscores the intensity of their feelings, despite the pain and sadness.
The repetition of "so endlos" (so endless) further emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the emotions being expressed. The tears in the night are portrayed as waiting for the singer, almost as if they represent a constant presence in their life. However, the person the singer loves seems unaware or unaffected by these tears. The line "Du spürst sie nicht, du siehst sie nicht" (You don't feel them, you don't see them) suggests a disconnect between the singer's internal struggles and the perception of their loved one.
The final line "Ich suche deine Hände" (I'm searching for your hands) adds a layer of longing and desperation. It implies that the singer is seeking solace, support, or understanding from their loved one, but feels unable to find it.
