Northern lights
Silke Bischoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happened last night
Your angry voice
In a blue night
I was too drunken to find the right words
Now it hurts
I spent the rest of the night on the floor
O open my eyes
I can't believe it
This can't be true
Where are you?
I'm here on my own
In the northern lighs
I'm here on my own
In the northern lighs
Sometimes it's easy
Sometimes it's hard
To play all these games
With a broken heart
And som etimes there's no way to run away
So why don't you stay?
Show me your body
And open you mind
There's no time to lose
Because we can find the key for the gates of eternity
Can't you see?
I'm here on my own
In the northern lighs
I'm here on my own
In the northern lighs

Solche Meisterwerke wie dieses hier.....alles Früchte der 90er. Irgendwie gibts sowas heute nicht mehr. Oder irre ich mich? Ich erinner mich noch wie mein Bruder damals die Alben angeschleppt hat. Auch wenn Felix fort ist, bleibt das für immer. Und damit er.

Ich wüsste nicht das es vergleichbares in diesem Genre gibt. Je älter ich werde desto mehr hab ich das Gefühl echte Kunst geht verloren. Die letzten Könige dieser Art die noch aktiv sind sind Herr Witt und Herr Heppner und das gelegentlich sogar zusammen. Grossen Respekt den Beiden. Grüsse von mir an alle die Silke Bischoff überhaupt kennen. Und RIP Felix.

Gothic Queen, I really like this sound of her, in that scene she has the title for sure .... I also need her sound emotionally sometimes to get clear in my mind ;) ....

Boenning müsste die Gothic Queen heissen.Lag mit ihrem Bruder 2005/6 in der Reha in Sueddeutschland.Die Band is aber meines Wissens und Marco Boenning nach aus der ehemaligen DDR.Er fragte mich ob ich schon mal was von Silke Bischoff gehört hätte und spielte einige Songs vom Laptop.Dann zeigte er mir die Band u a seine Schwester.
