GOTHMINISTER played all the big German Festivals like WGT, Dark Storm Festival, two years in a row invited to the M`Era Luna Festival, and performing for over 10.000 people at the Schattenreich Festival at ARENA in Oberhausen together with bands like Oomph! , In Extremo and Within Temptation. GOTHMINISTER had great success and the debutalbum was re-released by Drakkar Entertainment GmbH/BMG in November 2003. Since then GOTHMINISTER has two new members; keyboardist Android, and live drummer Chris Dead. With the new album the music of GOTHMINISTER is more than ever about heavier guitars and dark metal. The electronic elements are still there, but more in the background, to make room for fantastic orchestral pompous moods. GOTHMINISTER will be touring all over Germany and the rest of Europe in order to promote the new masterpiece album: “Empire of Dark Salvation.”
They are taking part in Melodi Grand Prix 2024, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with the song "We Come Alive".[2] They advanced from their semi-final on 13 January 2024
Freak
Gothminister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did that belong to a different world
All broken down by your feigned contrition
Could never drown, but will become
a witch that burns
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
So I fall apart
I caught you shining on the first encounter
But now I know it was the perfect crime;
To gain a heart, and twist it into pieces
And in return, leave the words that never die;
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
You´re such a freak
You turn back the time
You stopped pretending
That the dream wasn´t meant to die
It`s just a wicked world, and
I ain´t gonna need another way to lead this life again,
choose another end
It´s just a blackened world, so
I don´t wanna live without you by my side, in your spiritistic ways
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
In times of faith, you turned back the tide
You stopped pretending
That the dream wasn´t meant to die
Freak

The song "Freak" by Gothminister is a dark and intense reflection on a relationship with someone who is manipulative and deceitful. The singer was initially drawn to this person's mysterious and gloomy presence, but as time passed, he began to see through their facade of contrition. The person is revealed to be a witch who wants to burn and destroy others, and the singer describes himself as falling apart in the face of their actions.
The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and powerful emotions. The singer is both spellbound and repelled by the person he's singing about, and he feels trapped by their hold on him. The chorus repeats the phrase "You're such a freak, so I fall apart" like a mantra, emphasizing the singer's sense of powerlessness and despair.
The final verse offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer acknowledges that he doesn't want to live without this person in his life, despite their flaws. He sees them as a kind of dark angel, capable of turning back the tide of time and helping him to face the blackened world he perceives around him. Overall, "Freak" is a haunting and poignant ode to the complexities of love and desire.

Once enchanted by gloome presence
At one time, I was mesmerized by the feeling of darkness and sadness
Did that belong to a different world
It felt like that world was separate from my own reality
All broken down by your feigned contrition
But then you shattered that feeling with your insincere apology
Could never drown, but will become a witch that burns
I couldn't let myself be destroyed, so I will rise up and become a powerful force against you
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
You´re such a freak
So I fall apart
You are such an abnormal and twisted person that being around you breaks me apart
I caught you shining on the first encounter
At first, I was drawn to your charisma and charm
But now I know it was the perfect crime;
But now I realize that was all part of your plan to deceive and hurt me
To gain a heart, and twist it into pieces
You wanted to win my affection only to destroy me emotionally
And in return, leave the words that never die;
Leaving me with painful memories and scars that will never go away
You turn back the time
You stopped pretending
That the dream wasn´t meant to die
You have the power to make me feel like we could go back to a better time, but in reality, you know that our relationship is doomed
It`s just a wicked world, and
I ain´t gonna need another way to lead this life again,
choose another end
This world is cruel and I don't want to keep living in it, but I also won't let you choose my fate
It´s just a blackened world, so
I don´t wanna live without you by my side, in your spiritistic ways
Even though I know you're not good for me, I can't imagine living without you and your dark, supernatural energy

Committing suicide in a case of emotional crysis is the worst solution. Goth girls are the most decorative and beautiful ones, so you, who belong to this group, listen to me: be proud of yourselves and don't let anyone change you, if you dont want to.

Alguien puede darse cuenta del gran tono de voz que logra en esta canción. ES ALGO INCREÍBLE!! LA VOZ DE ESTE HOMBRE ES ÉPICA.

She's fragile, and seeing her beloved fall for someone who dresses "normal" makes her feel worse. I've dealt with awful heartbreak and have nearly taken my own life because of a boy who couldn't handle me. The best thing to think about is "You're better than him. Find someone who loves you for you." It doesn't matter how old this girl is, if she is fragile she will do the unspeakable when broken.
