[edit] Song information Image File history File links Emblem-important. ...
[edit] 1. Mein Herz brennt (My heart burns) - This song is about childhood nightmares. It makes reference to an old German children's TV show named Der Sandmann. It was used as the introductory and the final song to the movie Lilja 4-ever, It also apperes in a Suicide scene in NCIS.
Der Sandmann (The Sandman) is a short story written in German by E.T.A. Hoffmann. ...
Lilya 4-Ever (or Lilja 4-ever) is Swedish director Lukas Moodyssons third full length film. ...
[edit] 2. Links 2, 3, 4 (Left 2, 3, 4) - This song was written in response to the many claims that Rammstein are Nazis, and that their music negatively affected school shootings. The song's chorus shows that the band's political views are on the left. This is made clear by the lines "Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck / Doch seh ich dann nach unten weg / Da schlägt es links" which translates to "They want my heart on the right side / But when I look down / It beats on the left".
Links zwo, drei, vier, meaning left, two, three, four, is a German Army chant. The music video for the song shows a colony of ants struggling against three attacking beetles, with one ant seemingly acting as a leader.
[edit] 3. Sonne (Sun) - This song was originally going to be used as heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko's entrance music, but was never used. The demo names of the song were Klitschko and Boxer. Even though the music was not used as Klitschko's entrance music, the song's lyrics indirectly reference boxing.
An excerpt of this song was used in the 2002 horror/thriller Fear Dot Com. The song was also used in the opening credits of the movie Red Siren. Dr. Vitali Vladimirovich Klitschko (Ukrainian: ) born July 19, 1971). ...
FearDotCom was a horror movie released in 2002. ...
[edit] 4. Ich will (I want) - This song is about desire to be seen and heard and trusted, though the video deals with the media's obsession with a good story and their readiness to hail criminals as heroes in order to gain said story. The song itself speaks that such actions cannot be understood. And if you put the video with the song, it translates in that people have little problem believing what they see on t.v., and sometimes misconstrue the actions of real criminals when they are not aware of what is behind the scenes. (Note in the video that Till is speaking into the camera, but behind the camera there shows someone's arm, with blood dripping down it, showing the brutality of the "criminals", unseen by the public).
This song can also be interpreted as a way of criticism of the way Rammstein is portrayed, and in what ways the wrong messages gets across. In this song and in the video they are hailed no matter what they do, and Rammstein themselves are critical of that kind of portrayal.
[edit] 5. Feuer frei! (Fire at will! or Open fire!) - This song is about pain; physical, psychological and in the soul. It was used as the introductory song to the movie xXx. The literal translation of the title is Fire freely!, while a more idiomatic translation would be Fire at will! or Open fire!. It can be heard in the background of an episode of CSI.

[edit] 6. Mutter (Mother) - This song is about a man who never had a mother because he was born from an experiment. The man in the song seeks revenge against the mother that never gave birth to him, while at the same time expressing love for the same mother, exposing the duality in some mother-son relationships in which hate and love exist in parallel to each other.
It also raises an important ethical question that was very relevant at the time. Where would a cloned/genetically engineered baby feel at home. Who is its mother? What kind of identity issues does it raise? Similar to "Frankenstein", where the Monster loves and hates Victor Frankenstein. This article is about the 1818 novel. ...
[edit] 7. Spieluhr (Music-box) - Spieluhr is the story of the live burial and recovery of an unbaptized newborn. He or she (the child is never identified; the word Kinder can mean either gender) wishes to be "completely alone" and so stills its heart. As an unbaptized child it is "verscharrt", or buried in sand, in the public graveyard, God's Field. After its burial the child clutches its music-box, which begins to play. The child sings along with the lyrics of a popular nursery rhyme. Although no angels mourn at the child's grave, its song is eventually heard and the child is dug back out of the ground.
Hoppe, hoppe Reiter is from a German children's "trotting" song (a parent places the child on his or her knee and bounces the child in time with the rhythm). Hoppe, hoppe Reiter has several ominous verses and concludes with a line that roughly translates to "trot, trot rider! If he falls into the snow, he shall never rise again". In Norwegian the same melody is called "Ride, ride Ranke".
[edit] 8. Zwitter (Hermaphrodite) - This song talks about narcissism and bisexuality through the point of view of a hermaphrodite. The chorus, departing from the Rammstein norm, is in a major key and is sung quite high.
This article is about narcissism as a word in common use. ...

[edit] 9. Rein, raus (In, out) - This song is about rough sex, in particular about a man who uses women. Till makes analogies to the two partners as a horse and rider. They also joke in the song, "Der Ritt war kurz, es tut mir Leid. Ich steige ab, habe keine Zeit. Muss jetzt zu den anderen Pferden, wollen auch geritten werden". "The ride was short, I am sorry. I dismount, I have no time. Now have to seek the other horses, they want to be ridden too". Near the end they yell "deeper" and the sound of a whip cracks in the background (you can hear a female moaning before these lines: "Tiefer, tiefer. Sag es sag es laut. Tiefer, tiefer. Ich fühl mich wohl in deiner Haut. Und tausend Elefanten brechen aus". (Deeper, deeper. Say it, say it loud. Deeper, deeper. I feel my myself deep inside your skin, and a thousand elephants break out.)
[edit] 10. Adios (Sp. Good-bye) - Although the title is Spanish, the song itself is in German. This song relates to the experiences of a heroin addict, with a definitely negative rather than glorifying tone to it; "Nichts ist für dich, nichts war für dich, nichts biebt für dich, für immer". (Nothing is for you, nothing was for you, nothing remains for you, forever.) Till also employs images such as "Geigen brennen mit Gekreisch" (Violins burn with shrieking) and "Harfen schneiden sich ins Fleisch" (Harps tear into flesh), as though attempting to describe heroin use as both beautiful and agonizing.
- The chorus features three recycled lines of a verse from the Rammstein song "Jeder lacht", an unreleased song that was played on a New Years event in Saalfeld in 1994.
- Richard would play the solo with a flamethrower attached to his KH-2.

[edit] 11. Nebel (Mist or Fog) - One of Rammstein's few slow songs, this song is about a couple who takes their final walk together on the beach before the woman leaves the man as she is dying of breast cancer. Before she leaves him, she asks for a last kiss. Years later, the man can't remember the last kiss for it is so long ago.
When read backwards, as Leben or leben, the title means "life" or "to live" respectively.
