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.
The bomb
Neuroticfish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold, hard, no time to rest, I feel it kicking
I wear my bomb near to my chest, is it moving?
Cold, hard, no time to rest, and never soothing
I keep it safe and warm, I hope it never burns me
I keep it save from harm, I hope it never hurts me
Stoned, cold, right from the start, I feel it coming
I lay my bomb near to my bed, when I'm sleeping
Every single lonely night, I feel it creeping
I keep it save and warm, I hope it never burns me
I keep it save from harm, I hope it never hurts me
Terrorize me, come and take my soul
Paralyze me, come and
Terrify me, come and take my home
Analyze me, you know I'm not that strong
I keep it save from harm, I hope it never hurts me
I keep it save and warm, I hope it never burns me
Terrorize me, come and take my soul
Paralyze me, come and
Terrify me, come and take my home
Analyze me, you know I'm not that strong
Terrify me
Analyze me
You know I'm not that strong

The singer hopes that the bomb will never burn or hurt them and keeps it safe and warm.
The chorus of the song features four different lines, each of which starts with a different verb that reflects the singer's fear and anxiety.

I wear my bomb near to my chest
Is it ticking?
Cold, hard, no time to rest
I feel it kicking
I wear my bomb near to my chest
Is it moving?
Cold, hard, no time to stop
And never soothing
I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me
I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me
I wear my bomb near to my heart
When I'm running
Stone cold, right from the start
I feel it humming
I lay my bomb near to my bed
When I'm sleeping
Every single lonely night
I feel it creeping
I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me
I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me
Terrorize me
Come and take my soul
Paralyze me
Consume me whole
Terrify me
Come and take my home
Analyze me
You know I'm not that strong
I keep it safe from harm
I hope it never hurts me
I keep it safe and warm
I hope it never burns me
Terrorize me
Come and take my soul
Paralyze me
Consume me whole
Terrify me
Come and take my home
Analyze me
You know I'm not that strong
Terrify me
Analyze me
You know I'm not that strong
