about

The British band Bauhaus are largely credited with being the first true goth rock band. Amulet considers their classic single "Bela Lugosi's Dead" to be a defining moment in modern music. However, the band did little to conjure the zeitgeist of the Weimar-era "Staatliches Bauhaus" school of design. This track aims to convey the nature of this "degenerate art."

lyrics

------------------------------------
Lyrics:

Form follows function
Follows shape
Follows line
Follows fate
In the Brave New World

Pray to the brand
Worship the grand design
Boys and girls
Take a bow
Never say you’re sorry

Function first
Catch the sun
Words are never enough
For my digital self

And the image of the Bauhaus
Erinnerst du dich
die Perfektion
Neue Sachlichkeit
The zeitgeist of the Bauhaus
Of the Bauhaus

Synthesize me
I’m not ideal
Optimize me
I’m not real

Blur the lines
Between what’s inside
And how I’m supposed to feel
I’m not real
Not real

Red follows yellow
Follows blue
Follows red
Follows black
In this perfect world

Made by machine
A world of colors and dreams
So perfect and clean
We never told your story

Straight to the heart
Of engineering and art
Like an electric guitar

And the image of the Bauhaus
Erinnerst du dich
Die Unvollkommenheit
Entartete Kunst
Der Untergang of the Bauhaus
Of the Bauhaus

Synthesize me
I’m not ideal
Optimize me
I’m not real
Blur the lines

Between what’s inside
And how I’m supposed to feel
I’m not real
Not real
