| Rammstein – Reise, Reise (English) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
here is a very good explanation for the choice of words: Though written as a noun, "Reise" is obviously used as a verb in the song. The phrase "Reise, Reise" is used by seamen as a wake-up call and finds its roots in the Middle High German verb "risen", which meant "to rise" (to which it is obviously related as well). This verb has since died out in New High German, though the noun was retained and came to mean "journey" or "voyage". The verb "reisen" was rederived from the noun "Reise", but now means "to journey" or "to travel". It seems the old meaning has been preserved in this phrase in the seaman's language. - can be found on herzeleid.com |

| I really like this song and am grateful that there is such a song contributed to the Columbine shooting directly. Especially because it's for both sides as Kworb already said =) | |
| Rammstein – Adios Lyrics | 21 years ago |

He opened his eyes But he is not awake ...I like the German Version better. It's sounds more chilling. And if you translate it correctly it would say: He opened his eyes but he did not wake up. But the meaning is the same =) |

| Rammstein – Tier (English) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| If the meaning of this song isn't as deep as in other songs by them, then it's about rape. The father of a small girl forces her to sleep with him and that's why he is an animal. Because he can't tell the difference between human and animal (animals sometimes mate with their children as well). Then, when the girl is grown up and is writing herself a letter with his blood...I think it means that she took revenge to ease her pain. | |
