[Verse 1]
December light through frozen windowpanes
Dad's camera clicks, we pose and fake our smiles
Hamburg snow falls like memories in frames
These perfect shots hide all our tired lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold machines keep humming in this house
While mother tries to make it feel like home
Christmas lights are flickering about
But nothing warms these walls of chrome
[Chorus]
Frozen frame, frozen frame
Nothing ever changes in this game
Frozen frame, frozen frame
We're all just ghosts inside this frame
[Verse 2]
Old photographs in dusty boxes sleep
While synthesizers score our silent meals
The distance grows too wide and far too deep
These glossy prints show nothing that was real
[Bridge]
Stuck between the pixels and the pain
Digital memories start to fade
Like father's love, they slip away
In this cold December haze
[Chorus]
Frozen frame, frozen frame
Nothing ever changes in this game
Frozen frame, frozen frame
We're all just ghosts inside this frame
[Outro]
The shutter clicks, we're caught in time
These perfect lies in black and white
Forever young, forever strange
Forever trapped in frozen frames
