    How to make a leap of faith into a life full of adventures, new exciting things, happiness and fun? Where do we begin this journey in order to liberate ourselves from our own loving shells? The answer seems easy: become happier and less upset; change your mood from bad to good; stop thinking about your sadness and start thinking about positive things; stop being withdrawn; open your heart and mind to life; stop being insecure; stop being shy; become more confident; become the one you always wanted to be!

about

'This gruff, alt-rock narrative of choices and transitions uses the metaphor of machine to explain the connectedness - and inevitability - of life's crucial quandaries.'

lyrics

Ghost in the machine (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)

1. My eyes like fire, fragments of a dream
I am machine, just made to look like any man
I am the foreign body, are we all just dreams?
But you and I are born to decay.

2. Love the question, not the answer, the dreaming is
Hearts beating cold, are you made of stardust too?
Hope glitters, sparkles, brings laughter too
And you and I will rise to the bleu.

Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today

3. The times we spent together seem so far away
I am the foreign body, and don’t know what to say
I am machine, just made to look like any other man
Reaching from memories, will do what I can.

4. All pieces fit the puzzle, all shadow-plays subside
Too busy dreaming, there’s no more need to hide
All those illusions break my mind
I am machine, and born to be left behind

Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today

Solo

5. My eyes like fire, fragments of a dream
I am machine, just made to look like any other man
I am the foreign body, are we all just dreams?
But you and I are born to decay.

6. Love the question, not the answer, the dreaming is
Hearts beating cold, are you made of stardust too?
Hope glitters, sparkles, brings laughter too
And you and I will rise to the bleu.

Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today

Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
