Lindemann – That's My Heart Lyrics 7 years ago
I think this is the best song of Linderman, I like so much and listened many time.
for me this song talk about a girl very broken inside and with a deep depression and the man in the song(maybe Till Lindemann) have a conflict inside, he want to help her but it also want to posses her.

The song start with "Your Heart Is A Diamond Every soul wants to steal it" all the people(soul) think that this girl have something special inside, maybe she also beautiful, and the people especially the men just want to steal it, they just want the girl for her "treasure" but they don't care about her, but the girl know that and "You let nobody in".
After Linderman said that her heart is "a bleeding treasure" so it must be hurt by someone or something, everybody think that the girl have a diamond inside, but they are wrong, her heart was a black piece of coal that been "Crushed together by grief and violence Tons of pain, big pressure" (with big pressure the coal became a diamond) its not beautiful and full of life, it is "So hard and cold" and "So uncut and so silent" that means that nobody reach her "diamond" and she never ask for help.
the main part:

"That’s my heart
Let me help it feel
That’s my heart
What they all want to steal"

means that the girl start trusting Linderman and start to open herself so Linderman can see why she suffer so much, he was the first man she trust "You keep yourself concealed".

After see her heart Linderman was tempted by greed he wants she all for himself
"A diamond ring will take its place
Around my soul one day"
this part is sing with a different tone of voice,a darker voice, Linderman has a battle inside himself,but he chose to not be like other man and he really wants to help her "Let me help it feel" he want to help the girl to feel better "Let me help make it shine" but to do that he must become a better man "Let me work that mine".

The girl is crying, her skin taste like pain(tears are salty) and she have a "bitter lips". Finally Linderman understand the cause of her sadness

"There’s no light at the end of the tunnel
Between your hips"

Light can be a metaphor of life, the girl lost her child by abortion or she can't have a child at all(the previous song of the album is "praise abort", for someone the abortion can be a bless, but for others is a curse).
(another interpretation can be that the girl was raped and Linderman is the first man she "let enter").

the last part is a bit different:

"That’s my heart
Let me help it feel
Let me in to guard
What they all want to steal"

the girl offer her heart to the first man that really understand her(if he still wants it), he definitely chooses to help her and he interrupt her (in the other refrain the girl offer two time her heart to Linderman) he chose to "Let me in to guard" to protect her against other people that only want to steal her heart.
last line "What they all want to steal" have a shade of irony, the people that want to steal it don't realize, there nothing to steal, the diamond heart is a curse, not a bless.

this is just my interpretation of this beautiful song, if somebody have a different opinion feel free to reply.

I hope I have not done too many grammatical errors :)
