A dark journey through inner conflicts
Official music video "Problems" performed by "Ghost Cop". Directed by Sean Dack and Lucy Swope. With "Problems", Ghost Cop presents another profound track that skilfully blurs the boundaries between synth pop and dark wave. The song captivates with its cool, dark atmosphere, which lies like a veil over the driving beats and expansive synthesiser. These synth landscapes seem eerie and almost threatening, but would have gained in force with a little more precise reduction – a small point of criticism in an otherwise atmospheric soundscape.
The gentle yet haunting vocals carry the emotions of the song and create a tangible melancholy. The chorus, in particular, is very catchy and conveys a deep longing for change, captured in lines like, "You said I've got too many problems – well that's a problem". The lyrics deepen the gloomy mood of the track and invite the listener to lose themselves in the lyrical examination of inner conflicts.
The well-placed handclaps and familiar structure also give the song a touch of retro charm, without sounding old-fashioned. Ghost Cop once again prove how skilfully they can combine dark emotions and electronic sounds. This song is part of our Spotify playlist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘.

Lyrics of "Ghost Cop – Problems"
Drifting
Through dark and dreadful things
I swore by tomorrow
I would find it
but I’m still
Waiting
In the open wings
You said I’ve got too many problems
Well that’s a problem
Another sleepless night is gone
I don’t want to fight it, I go on and on
And if you think you know what’s wrong
You’re not as bad as you think you are
I was thinking
About your secret half
How it’s a few waves short of a flood
It’s like a beating heart without any blood
I found it lacking
Some rookie shadow self
When you said, “you’ve got too many problems”
I said, “you’re not one”
Another sleepless night is gone
I don’t want to fight it, I go on and on and on
And if you think you know what’s wrong
You’re not as bad as you think you are
The closer you come I get further away
Another sleepless night is gone
I don’t want to fight it, I go on and on and on
And if you think you know what’s wrong
You’re not as bad as you think you are
Another fight for the blood red dawn
Two shouts for the night crowd, they go on and on
And if you think you know what’s wrong
You’re not as bad as you think, you’ve got
Problems
