Zero Gravity - Zeitgeists Calling (1984)

# ZERO GRAVITY [INTRO] [Cold analogue synth pulse] [Motorik drum machine] [Icy arpeggiator] [Detached female vocal] Drei... Zwei... Eins... [VERSE 1] [Minimal driving groove] [Cool, almost emotionless vocal] I left the ground at 3 AM Nobody saw me go The city looked so beautiful From somewhere down below Streetlights underneath me Headlights disappear Everyone is moving But niemand ist hier [PRE-CHORUS] [Synth arpeggio rises] I tried to call you But the signal wouldn't stay I tried to find a reason Aber der Grund flog weg [CHORUS] [Big vintage synth hook] [Driving electronic drums] [Layered detached vocals] ZERO GRAVITY Nichts hält mich hier ZERO GRAVITY Nichts unter mir I am falling Sehr wunderschön ZERO GRAVITY Bitte ruf mich nicht zurück [VERSE 2] [Mechanical bass groove] [Clean chorus guitar] I left my name behind me Ich ließ mein Gesicht zurück I watched a thousand versions Von mir selbst im Augenblick The future keeps approaching The past won't disappear I'm somewhere in between them Und nichts davon ist hier [PRE-CHORUS] I tried to call you But the signal wouldn't stay I tried to find a reason Aber der Grund flog weg [CHORUS] ZERO GRAVITY Nichts hält mich hier ZERO GRAVITY Nichts unter mir I am falling Sehr wunderschön ZERO GRAVITY Bitte ruf mich nicht zurück [INSTRUMENTAL] [Extended icy synth sequence] [Motorik drums] [Analog sequencer] [Chorus-soaked guitar] [Mechanical bass] [German spoken vocal] Keine Schwerkraft. Keine Richtung. Keine Antwort. [BRIDGE] [Everything suddenly drops] [Single synth pulse] Do you believe in gravity? [Pause] Glaubst du an irgendetwas? [Cold arpeggio returns] I don't need an answer. [Beat] Ich brauche nur etwas, das mich zurückzieht. [BUILD] [Drums gradually intensify] [Huge analogue synth] [Distorted guitar enters] Drei... Zwei... Eins... [FINAL CHORUS] [Full arrangement] [Massive synth hook] [Driving drums] [Layered vocals] ZERO GRAVITY Nichts hält mich hier ZERO GRAVITY Nichts unter mir I am falling Sehr wunderschön ZERO GRAVITY Bitte ruf mich nicht zurück ZERO GRAVITY Kannst du mich hören? ZERO GRAVITY Über dieser Stadt ZERO GRAVITY Oder tief darunter [OUTRO] [Drums continue relentlessly] [Synth slowly degrades] Drei... Zwei... Eins... [Whisper] Ich falle noch. [Cold synth pulse] [Machine stops] Something's coming down Everybody's moving Nobody knows why ZEITGEISTS CALLING From the other side [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [Wild angular guitar] [Deep funky bass] [Electronic percussion] [Sudden rhythmic stops] [Distorted vocal fragments] Call me Call me Call me [BRIDGE] [Suddenly sparse] Is this the future? [Pause] Or just another way Of remembering the past? [Low bass returns] Everybody wants to be original Everybody wants to belong [BUILD] New face New name New skin Same game New god New drug New dream Same blood [FINAL CHORUS] [Huge full arrangement] ZEITGEISTS CALLING Can you hear the sound? ZEITGEISTS CALLING Something's coming down Everybody's changing Nobody knows why ZEITGEISTS CALLING From the other side ZEITGEISTS CALLING Through the noise ZEITGEISTS CALLING Through the void ZEITGEISTS CALLING [OUTRO] [Groove strips back] Can you hear it? [Whisper] Can you hear it? [Distorted guitar feedback] They're calling.
