Coldstar – I See A Light

"I See A Light": A melancholic ray of light in the darkness

With "I See A Light", Coldstar once again proves that they mas­ter­fully explore the dark corners of dark wave and synth pop. The song begins with a nos­tal­gic-naive melody remin­is­cent of the early days of "Depeche Mode". But this light­ness is only a har­binger of the deep­er, mel­an­chol­ic atmo­sphere that soon unfolds. The deep, darkly col­oured vocals give the track a ser­i­ous­ness that will surely delight fans of "Dunkelsucht" and "Seelennacht".

The chor­us "I want to feel pleas­ure and pain" stays in your head and is pre­destined for col­lect­ive sing-along moments at con­certs. The emo­tion­al intens­ity of the song reaches its cli­max in the bridge, where it fades gently, leav­ing room for a last, power­ful chor­us. The atmo­spher­ic fade-out of the intro per­fectly rounds off the piece.

Lyrically, the song cap­tures the inner con­flict and long­ing for authen­ti­city in an over­stim­u­lated world. Coldstar man­ages to con­vey these themes authen­tic­ally, both music­ally and lyr­ic­ally, without resort­ing to clichés. "I See A Light" is a must for any­one who feels at home in the deep, dark aes­thet­ics of the mod­ern goth­ic scene.

Lyrics of "Coldstar – I See A Light"

In this world of con­stant motion
Everything is out of focus
Lost in the end­less commotion
Trying to make some sense of it

But in the silence, I can hear
The beat­ing of my heart so clear
It‘s the only thing that‘s true
In a world that‘s always new

I want to feel pleas­ure and pain
To know that I‘m alive again
And in the dark­ness I can find
The light that‘s burn­ing in my mind

I see the people walk­ing by
Lost in the routine of their lives
Never stop­ping to ask why
Just going through the motions

But in the still­ness I can see
The beauty that‘s sur­round­ing me
It‘s the only thing that‘s real
In a world that‘s always surreal

I want to feel pleas­ure and pain
To know that I‘m alive again
And in the dark­ness I can find
The light that‘s burn­ing in my mind
