Phantomrider Lyrics
Promises, I scratch so deep
in your empty seat
The sky is turning upside down
I turn the wheel around
Kiss me goodbye, into the light
like a Phantomrider
I’m dying tonight
So dark and cold
I drive(?) alone
like a Phantomrider
Can’t make it all on my own.
I don’t know your name
but still believe
Now it’s time for you and me
Time for you and me
Time for you and me
Now I’m here
No more fears
Angel don’t you cry
I’ll meet you
on the other side
Goodbye
into the light
Like a Phantomrider
I’m dying tonight
So dark and cold…
in your empty seat
The sky is turning upside down
I turn the wheel around
like a Phantomrider
I’m dying tonight
So dark and cold
I drive(?) alone
like a Phantomrider
Can’t make it all on my own.
but still believe
Now it’s time for you and me
Time for you and me
Time for you and me
No more fears
Angel don’t you cry
I’ll meet you
on the other side
Goodbye
into the light
Like a Phantomrider
I’m dying tonight
So dark and cold…

"Gas and blood Is all I've got In you I trust The final exit's passing by The wheel's run free Under me It's you I feel A million sparks are falling down I turn the wheel around"
This entire first verse is missing, by the way. Hopefully someone fixes it soon.
Anyway, according to Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz, "It's about being close to someone you never really met before. You want to escape from something and you want this ghost-like soulmate to come away with you because it's the only thing you have faith in. The track carries hope."
This song could be taken in so many different ways and even Bill's explanation leaves so much open to personal interpretation and expansion. This is probably the most beautiful song on the album to me.
Another little tidbit. The lines:
"Now I'm here No more fears Angel don't you cry I'll meet you on the other side"
These lines are sung by a girl in the German version. His phantom companion.
