about

TWIN NOIR - Ostkreuz

The song "Ostkreuz" by TWIN NOIR describes a scene in the first person, leading the protagonist from their apartment through the wet, cold streets of Berlin to the bustling Ostkreuz station.

Ostkreuz, the most powerful and busiest interchange station in Berlin, metaphorically represents aimlessness, loneliness, loss and can be interpreted as a search for a change or new start.
The winter season emphasizes the symbolic intensity of endings and new beginnings, cold and calmness, challenges and hope.

Musically, TWIN NOIR accompanies the scene with heavy, driving drum loops and basslines. A melancholic piano floats in a vast, gloomy atmosphere, alternatingly or supportively corresponding with a far-reaching guitar sound.

The song "Ostkreuz" is the first single release from TWIN NOIR's second full-length album, "2 Punks and a Tape Machine - Chapter //".

TWIN NOIR - Ostkreuz (Lyrics)

Du bist so blass
Du hast die Sonne lang nicht mehr gesehen
Der kalte Wind weht
Über uns am Ostkreuz
Dein Kopf an meiner Schulter
Taucht in einem Meer aus Tränen
Der kalte Wind weht
Über uns am Ostkreuz

Ich zieh das Handy noch ab vom laden
Ich greife den Schlüssel, ich zieh die Tür
Den dunklen Mantel, ich stell den Kragen
Den düsteren Gang lang, ist schon dunkel um vier

Der kalte Regen, die Treppe runter
Rein in die U-Bahn, sag das ist nicht passiert
Ich Steig aus, sehe dich in der Menschenmenge
Als Schatten meiner selbst stehe ich vor dir

Du bist so blass
Du hast die Sonne lang nicht mehr gesehen
Der kalte Wind weht
Über uns am Ostkreuz
Dein Kopf an meiner Schulter
Taucht in einem Meer aus Tränen
Der kalte Wind weht
Über uns am Ostkreuz


ENGLISH:

You are so pale

You haven't seen the sun for a long time

The cold wind blows 

Over us at Ostkreuz

Your head on my shoulder

Dives into an ocean of tears

The cold wind blows

Over us at Ostkreuz

I unplug the phone from the charger
I grab the key, I pull the door

The dark coat, I raise the collar

Down the gloomy hallway, it's already dark at four
The cold rain, down the stairs

Into the subway, say that didn't happen

I get off, see you in the crowd

As a shadow of myself, I stand before you

You are so pale

You haven't seen the sun for a long time

The cold wind blows 

Over us at Ostkreuz

Your head on my shoulder

Dives into an ocean of tears

The cold wind blows

Over us at Ostkreuz
