Neuroticfish’s sole member was Sascha Mario Klein. Klein cites his musical inspirations as such bands as Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and Depeche Mode, and began experimenting with music on his own in the early 90’s. After Neuroticfish was born, Klein did not make the typical efforts of a muscian to send out a demo; instead, he relied on the internet as a medium of expression for his music. Klein was eventually offered a place on a synthpop compilation called A Reflexion of Synthpop. From this point on, Neuroticfish gained popularity in the club scene, where he has made an impact ever since.
Klein gained a bit of notoriety after one of his songs contained the sample "Electronic body music is dead." It has since become somewhat of a catchphrase for Neuroticfish.
On January 4th 2008 the official Neuroticfish MySpace page had a message announcing that the band would cease to exist after its performance at the 2008 edition of the Wave Gothic Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany.
In July 2012 the website was updated after the project seemed finished. The latest updates say that Sascha and Henning Verlage are working together during Winter 2012 and Spring 2013 on a new album.
In 2015 Neuroticfish released "A Sign Of Life", his first album in 10 years. It is exclusively sold at the band's page at Bandcamp, digitally, and physical albums only being sold at Neuroticfish's regular web page.
M.F.A.P.L.
Neuroticfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another mindless constellation is going to overload
Now my mind is filled up with visions of all I've seen
So will you please replace this fucking insect out of me?
And I don't mind
And I don't listen to music for a paranormal life
And I'm still alive
Numb, deaf, and blinded of what I hear and see
It's permanently waiting for a chance to capture me
Am I paranoid? Am I a freak?
Am I stunned without a chance of getting weak?
And I don't mind
And I don't listen to music for a paranormal life
For a paranormal life
And I don't mind
And I don't listen to music for a paranormal life
And I'm still alive
The lyrics of "M.F.A.P.L." by Neuroticfish are cryptic and ambiguous and can be interpreted in several ways. The opening lines, "a neurotic, paranormal impact is waiting to explode" and "another mindless constellation is going to overload," suggest that the singer is overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions, perhaps related to mental illness or an existential crisis. In the next lines, the singer pleads to have an "insect" removed from their mind, which could represent a harmful thought or obsession that they are struggling to let go of.
The chorus, "and I don't listen to music for a paranormal life, and I'm still alive," speaks to the idea that the singer is not seeking solace or answers through music, despite the intensity of their internal struggles. The lines "numb, deaf, and blinded of what I hear and see, it's permanently waiting for a chance to capture me" further emphasize the overwhelming nature of the singer's experiences, with the constant sense of danger lurking.
The final lines of the song, "am I paranoid? Am I a freak? Am I stunned without a chance of getting weak?" highlight the singer's self-doubt and internal conflict. The song seems to be an introspective exploration of mental turmoil and the struggle to maintain a sense of self despite the chaos of the mind.
Line by Line Meaning
A neurotic, paranormal impact is waiting to explode
A pending, unsettling and indescribable event is in anticipation
Another mindless constellation is going to overload
An additional senseless connection of scattered events is imminent and will be too much to handle
Now my mind is filled up with visions of all I've seen
My thoughts are overflowing with memories of what I witnessed
So will you please replace this fucking insect out of me?
Please rid me of this obscenity inside me
And I don't mind
I am indifferent to the situation
And I don't listen to music for a paranormal life
I am not seeking a supernatural existence from music
And I'm still alive
Despite everything, I continue to survive
Numb, deaf, and blinded of what I hear and see
I am emotionally, physically and mentally incapacitated by what I sense
It's permanently waiting for a chance to capture me
It's always there, lurking, waiting for an opportunity to ensnare me
Am I paranoid? Am I a freak?
Am I excessively suspicious? Am I an abnormality?
Am I stunned without a chance of getting weak?
Am I shocked and unable to become vulnerable?
For a paranormal life
For an existence outside the bounds of natural, physical laws
