Emotionally very challenging song about the joint drug use as a method of escapism from harsh reality and troubles associated with everyday life. The initial title of this track was “The Golden Shot” which is a reference to the best know but rare method to commit suicide by the intake of drugs. However, it is not always easy to figure out if the golden shot was just an accidental intoxication or a real suicide (without a farewell letter left behind). Anyway, I lost a few good friends to drug abuse, and the entire Grunge Movement collapsed largely because of the drug addiction of its leaders. Somehow, deep inside, I felt obliged to write a song like this one… My drug of choice is gothism. Enjoy!

Kamil Walczak - ESCAPISM ON DEMAND (Alt.)

This is a special song that I wrote and addressed to my wife to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. 25 years of marriage is quite a long time! To be honest, my wife is not fully satisfied with this serenade of a gothic vibe, because its lyrics is related solely to the darkest side of our long-term relationship, which obviously went through many different phases (most of them much happier than this song would ever be able to express). But I said: “honey, let’s get it straight, you are married to a Goth and a darkly inclined individual who has been glorifying dark romanticism for 25 years of our journey together. So, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!”
