"Katharsis" (English: "Catharsis") is the first single released from Doda's first solo album, "Diamond Bitch". The song has been very successful in Poland, where it peaked at #1 on the Polish Singles Chart, though it struggled to reach the top spot due to the strong popularity of "Umbrella" by Rihanna and Jay-Z.

Music video

The video starts with masked fire dancers waving their staffs, poi and giggling. Doda is shown blindfolded looking for a masked man (possibly Radek Majdan) in some kind of maze. As the scene changes, Doda is wearing only a white cloth and embances him in somekind of bed. While singing the chorus, she standing in a revealing top surrounded by many lights. The first scene with Doda is shown again - the man catches her and takes of her blindfold, while she starts to undress him, and they kiss very passionatly. As the song continues, the dancers from the beginning start to laugh and Doda realizes that she is not alone. She wants to stop, but her lover grabs her and starts to seduce her again. Doda tries to embance him, but he pushes her away. Doda takes her pin out of her hair and throws it at the man, apparently killing him - his mask falls of. It is stained with blood, just as Doda's bedsheet in the end.

Lyrics Translation

While writing this I am ending a chapter in my lifeI am ending something in my life that had to be like a dreamAnd you did everything so I would wake upWhile writing this I don't have that energyThat was in me when I met youI lost you win.Think anything.

I know that it is hard to make the first move, alone.Reality cuts my heart.You will never look into it again.

You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... I don't want to be like a shadow!You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... do not attack me...You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... I don't want to be like a shadowI want to say farewell

I wanted to sleep and wake up with youI am jealous of other, but they think,That routine destroys love - they are wrongI would give you anything - laugh of a childYour sweet words won't fill my hunger anymoreYou are to far - I don't feel you no.

I know that it is hard to make the first move, alone.Reality cuts my heart.You will never look into it again.

You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... I don't want to be like a shadow!You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... do not attack me...You didn't pick me - farewell!No, no... I don't want to be like a shadowI want to say farewell
