This is a very specific question. Basically the lyrics seem to me very much like a light critique of reunification through a marriage metaphor (“you have asked me and I said nothing”, “do you want to be together until death do us apart? No!” And the whole “du hasst mich” thing), and also I think some band members are Easterners but I’ve had many Rammstein fan friends tell me it’s literally just about unhappy marriage.

Am I tripping here? Is there any evidence either for or against it? I find it hard to believe a song with such shallow theme could’ve become that famous, and it’s not like Rammstein is afraid of getting “political” given their other famous songs.

    I mean, at least K-pop songs usually have more than two whole sentences as lyrics lol.

      I agree cholima on the wing, definitely has more than two words. Its the greatest KPOP song ever released.

      Maybe, I’m not big on K-pop. I’m sure a very small percentage of several billion people that heard that one even knew what it was about though.

      My point is that even some absolute braintot can become popular as long as it’s catchy.
