Where did you go?
I need to know
You always walk away
Though I'd like to stay
The place we'd meet
A distant street
And now I walk alone in vain
Wondering if you're still the same
I haven't found G.V.D.T yet
I only spoke with him on the phone
I haven't found G.V.D.T yet
I even don't remember why I've got to meet him
I haven't found G.V.D.T yet
It's an affair I will never forgat
What's wrong?
Corners I turn
Pictures I burn
I look over my shoulder
To the man who grows older
So will I find?
This search is blind
As I who cannot see
As you can run free
I need to know
You always walk away
Though I'd like to stay
A distant street
And now I walk alone in vain
Wondering if you're still the same
I only spoke with him on the phone
I haven't found G.V.D.T yet
I even don't remember why I've got to meet him
I haven't found G.V.D.T yet
It's an affair I will never forgat
Pictures I burn
I look over my shoulder
To the man who grows older
So will I find?
This search is blind
As I who cannot see
As you can run free

Considering this is early 80's 242, it probably has some military/Cold War theme. With that, I'd say it is about some deep cover agent that has to meet-up with some contact assignment, but his details are fuzzy at best as he has not fully "awakened" from his sleeper. Basically a cat-and-mouse relationship. As for what GVDT stands for, I can't even find it on Google.
Wait, we know 242 is Belgian, and that GVDT is an initial. So, knowing this, I'd say the V.D. is a "Van Der", because I think the Belgians use that heavily in their surnames. So, it's G. Van Der T..
Sound good so far?
In an interview with Jean-Luc Demeyer, he said GVDT is "Guido Van Den Troost, the first one to have aired one of our tracks on the radio."
