"She feels the velocity, sweat drips on the knee." Nope. The German word "Schweiß" normally means "sweat". But here it doesn't. In German hunters' language "Schweiß" means "BLOOD". This has an ambiguous meaning: 1. Literally it means the blood dripping/spraying from the deer's wound. The shot ("Blattschuss") went through the shoulder blade, therefore the blood trickles on one of the deer's knees, just below the wound. 2. Metaphorically it very probably means the blood which drips from the girl's/young woman's vagina, because of having sex for the first time. The "Schmalwild" is a young deer and stands for the young woman/girl who most probably was still a virgin. Another possible meaning could be that the blood comes out of the vagina, because the female person is in her menstruation. But this is not quite likely, because it is pointed out that the deer is very young ("Schmalwild") |

Most of the following is wrong, I will correct it: 1. "Weidmann is an older german word meaning hunter" The correct spelling is "Waidmann", not "Weidmann" 2. "ausweiden means to thin out, they thin out the forest." No. Ausweiden means to take out the guts an organs of an animal that has been shot by a huntsman. 3. "The song is basically about a hunters desire to kill an animal." This is just superficially so. The whole lyrics have a symbolic/allegoric/metaphorical meaning. The entire song is about a man who is looking for a young woman/girl to have sex with. He is in urgent need of this because of his current hormonic state. 4. " ... and give her a shot that doesnt kill her." No. A "blattschuss" is a shot that goes through the shoulder blade and directly hits the heart of the deer and therefore kills it immediately. A "blattschuss" is the perfect shot of a huntsman, because it kills immediately and the deer does not have to suffer. 5. "I think they are sort of making fun of how sick minded hunters are, but the metaphor relating to a rapist makes sense." No this is not necessarily about a rapist. The huntsman-deer allegory has been t h e symbol of the game of love for more than a thousand years and therefore is to be found in various literary works. |
