Teen Gothic

this song is one of my favorites by bauhaus. the lyrics are very unique and i know peter likes to write poetic and meaningful songs. anybody know what this song is about?

lyrics: Oh classic gentlemen Say your prayers To the wind, of prostitution To your faces, and Rex complexes Riddle my breast Full of the oppressed puss

Oh gentlemen, with your fish The you surround, all around And you man, will always point Your fishes, at me

But I will always exist Because I always exist Damn good too

The rat race begins The fat face stings I hold the fresh pink baby With a smile I slice off those rosy cheeks Because I feel so thirsty

And Oedipus Rex complexes Riddle my closed bloated breast

My favorite Goths online are Angela Benedict, Midnight Owl, It's Black Friday, Toxic Tears, and LeahMouse, but none of these are male Goths. Angela and Owl are particularly my favorite Youtubers, because I find them the most relatable, and informative about the 90's era of Goth.

But as far as I can see, the most well-known male Goths in the community are Goth Dad, Conor of Random Goth Couple, and he who shall not be mentioned.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
