Phantomrider Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MissMage 

Cover art for Phantomrider lyrics by Tokio Hotel

"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.
