Besides Chris, the original lineup included Jens Gärtner who provided the drums and loops. In 1997, Manuel Selling was added to the lineup to provide the guitars. In 2000, Manuel left the band and Gordon Mocznay took over on guitar and bass guitar. A year later in 2001, Louis Manke joined the band as well, adding a second guitar to the band.
Terminal Choice was Chris Pohl's main and most well-known project, and they have enjoyed great success both in Germany and abroad, and are often compared to and sometimes referred to as a precursor to another popular German industrial-stomp band, Rammstein. The success of Terminal Choice has also transferred to the other members of Terminal Choice, as Chris helped Gordon form his own band known as Mordorn and also helped Louis form a band named Staubkind. Despite being involved with numerous bands, all members are still creating music with Terminal Choice and an album with the title "New Born Enemies" was released on the 28th of July, in 2006.
Terminal Choice released their last CD Übermacht in 2010.
It Doesn't Matter
Terminal Choice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need to talk, cause you won't listen to me
I don't want to be another victim
I have to live my life without you anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter
But there're so much more things in your life
Please don't let all this fucking shit ever happen again
Do you want to be always this kind of bitch
Do you want to live always the way you do
You don't have to be another victim
You have to live your life without me anyway
Anyway
I can't hurt you anymore
I don't wanna lose you
I have to set you free anyway
Set you free, anyway, anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
The lyrics in Terminal Choice's "It Doesn't Matter" convey a feeling of frustration, anger, and regret. The opening lines indicate that the singer has a lot to say to the person they are addressing but doesn't feel heard. There is a clear sense of a power dynamic at play, with the singer feeling like they are being victimized and unheard. The repetition of the phrase "It doesn't matter" reinforces the idea that the singer is resigned to a situation that can't be changed.
The lyrics then switch to addressing the other person directly, questioning whether they want to continue living their life the way they are now. The singer tells them that they don't have to be a victim and they can start living life differently. There are undertones of bitterness and resentment here, with the singer's tone feeling accusatory.
Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in perspective with the singer acknowledging that they can't hurt the other person anymore, and they need to let them go. The repetition of "set you free" feels cathartic, indicating that the singer is relieved to be able to move on from this toxic relationship.
Overall, the lyrics in "It Doesn't Matter" convey a complex emotional landscape, incorporating feelings of hurt, anger, bitterness, and acceptance. The song's lyrics suggest that sometimes the only way to move on is to let go of a situation, even if it is painful.
