Shock Therapy - Gothic Song Official Video 2023
Shock Therapy - Gothic Song
Download / Stream: bfan.link/gothic-song
This video was born, because of the continued enthusiasm of the Shock Therapy fans. We didn't want to withholding Gothic Song from you, and it will also appear on the album “New hope for the Retarted - the Past Life”. Itchy's theme, text, pure voice convinced us to complete the circle around past life by ending where we started, namely with the odes to Itchy´s influential genres, in this case Gothic with Gothic Song. The reclined images symbolize the great emptiness of gothic romance. Nevertheless, the genre continues to appeal to the imagination with its distinct dark symbols and, for the director, a trip back to the past. Nevertheless, this clip was also created with the help of freely available footage, but the design, the smooth filmic edit, the carefully selected scenes of the two protagonists present in the Day of the Dead tradition “Día de Muertos” and performing and physically completing the Gothic Song in their own interpretation, the atmospheric images in between and the recurring funeral at the beginning, give this video for Gothic Song its own dark character, which shimmers (shines) in absolute beauty.
Lyrics:
Here I am again
Alone and frail
No friends to speak off
They all failed
And you have left me
For the very last time
Can’t seem to convince myself
The supersize of crime
I’ve done one too many
Many different drugs
I’ve fallen on my backside
I want to get back up
I wanna see my mother
She too has gone away
I’m crying in the night
Hoping I would love another day
Chorus: don’t ever wanna come back to this don’t ever want to cry I pray to the man
That it’s over and I’ll forever die .
I had 10.000$ the brooms took care of that the only comfort in this life is panda 🐼 my black and white cat.
Endless mindless retarded hours staring at a TV screen
The tragedy of my life
Is choosing I thank the star, who sets the final scene.
I’ll forever die
I’ll forever die

HOW CAN I KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA BE
REMEMBER GIESSEN IN THE 2000 YEARS - GREAT CONCERT
Saw them in Coesfeld, Germany. 🤩🤩🤩
Shock Therapy is one of the best E.B.M Sounds ever.Itchy WE Miss you.R.I.P
What an underrated band. R.I.P. Itchy.
Itchy we miss you and nobody can you sing like you.
This insane Sound is part of my Life.God bless Itchy💥🙏🙏🙏💥
Finally I got the lyrics! Found this gem on the German sampler “Haste mal ne Mark - Die Zweite”, when I was a young punk mid 90s. I could understand, "Smell of beer And I hate my looks" but not "My cats will be fine I will be with them" I think I checked every year for the lyrics :D Now the song is even better!
Immer wieder schön daß zu hören
Still loving it!
Cottbusland

4EVER SHockTHErapy!
I think i'm the only person who found this album coincidentally, for some reason it got recommended to me on youtube maybe exactly an year ago. Awesome album anyways, always keep coming back to it and listen to it fully because all the songs in it are really good ❤
verwegen
Like many of the rest of you that are here…this was my anthem when I was 19. 🤬
I guess we all got older, but this song is still exactly how I remember to have felt in the late 80s. Still here and breathing, so I guess I learned to cope with the theatre of life after all. Thanks guys! Keep it up.
this was another banger of this great album!

Living in Itchy's house next to Rouge River with his brother Jeff was the Whip. Loved them Both😎
Itchy is dead ......
Just love ths so much. It howels pain and rage.
Fucking stunning ❤️❤️
იმდენად ემოციურია რომ გაბედნიერებს
აი ძალიან კარგია
Pushy pushy guts.
Brutal, simplemente....brutaaaaaaal!!!!!
Power is gone But nothing can last Who is to blame Im running too slow You are running too fast Who is to blame The once-in-awhiles Are nerver undone Who is to blame I felt your pity Cause its never fun Who is to blame A product worth keeping Was once a lie Who is to blame Youre laughing at me crying While i die inside Who is to blame Sickness is now in my past Wisdom is here Who is to blame And the pain i feel for knowing what was Never clear Who is to blame (3x)What once was good Now is gone Who is to blame Who is to blame For what is gone? Who is to blame
Zum ersten mal in der Fabrik Coesfeld gehört,seitdem Kult
Love you guys!
