Three Dimensions

He heard the creak of the furniture,
Thought it might be the dead on the line,
A great grand aunt with a message,
Or just ghosts killing time.
Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.
He came home, the house was broken,
Nothing gone but his doubt,
Could’ve called the police,
But he likes to ride it out.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

“If it’s unheard of, it must be true 
That’s what the clever ones do.”
By the fortunate failure of consequence,
We forget what we believe,
And learn to live with shadows,
That never really leave.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

Invisibility,
Scientific impossibility,
Living in a universe,
Haunted by uncertainty.

INVISIBILITY

Alternative German indie rock, slightly punkish, melancholic and intellectual mood, poetic and cryptic lyrics in German. Dry baritone vocals, calm and slightly detached delivery. Minimalistic arrangement: steady mid-tempo drums, warm bassline, clean electric guitar with subtle delay, occasional dissonant chords. Sparse production, raw but intimate, evoking early 2000s indie rock with a reflective and melancholic atmosphere
