| Depeche Mode – Clean Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| I honestly think, as for many Depeche Mode songs, that the dark tone is part of the meaning. What I see here is the birth of a fanatic ("my holiness") who, as many fanatics, has been previously a "big sinner". The find the song threatening and dark, and I like it very much for this portrait I see on it. | |
| Rammstein – Was Ich Liebe (English) Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| The easiest interpretation is someone utterly pessimistic, who denies any kind of happiness because he/she is convinced that they only bring horrible things thereafter. But I have the impression that I may be completely missing the point. | |
| Rammstein – Puppe Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Well, it is pretty straightforward, but just for the record. The smaller sister of a prostitute has mental disorders (maybe provoked by her sister working in the room nearby). She has to take some medicines. She gets also a puppet to help her. She feels horrible and destroys the puppet. One day a customer kills the sister. Maybe because she has no longer medicine, now she feels "good" destroying the puppet, completely mad. I was searching for some indication that she kills the murderer of her sister but I don't think so, the texts are too similar to allow that interpretation. |

| Rammstein – Ausländer Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Another song (not the first one of Rammstein) about sex tourist. Not necessarily connected to prostitution, though. Very clear the sentence "I am not a man for a one-night-stand, after just some hours I'm already gone". | |
| Rammstein – Zeig Dich Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
An anti-theistic call. "If God existed, he would be evil" because he does not show himself, being that so many evil things happen, including many which happens in His name or by His followers. We need help and He does not show up to help. Between many other things mentioned are the pedophilia cases in the Church ("Aus Versehen sich An Kindern vergehen" / "unintentionally abuse childre"), the prohibition of the contraceptives ("Verhütung verboten" / "proteccion forbidden") and overpopulation ("Verbreiten und vermehren Im Namen des Herren" / "Expand and multiply in the Name of the Lord"). |

| Rammstein – Deutschland Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
So much to say about this one... Yes, it contains the texts and titles of other songs of Rammstein, like "Du hast" und "Mein Herz Brennt". It is a bif of a recapitulaiton of a mature band. But I wanted to concentrate on "so jung, und doch so alt" : Germany is "old and young" in many senses. One of them is the "reunification" (1991), or the re-foundation of the Republic 1949. But even if we take the oldest possible date regarding legal aspects, it would be just 1870 with the Wilhelm Empire. Before that, there was no legal "Germany". And still, *somehow*, this Germany is heir (partially, disputable) of much older constructs like the "Holy Roman German Empire", the Carolingian Empire, and the group of nations collectively called "Germans" by the Romans. No other European nation has such wildly different names in other tongues. In English the old "germans" are taken, while French take the old tribe of the "all men" or "Allamanen" (Allemagne), the Germans take the "Tiutsch" language to make their "Deutsch" and for the Russians are the foreigners from the East who "could not speak" (ni-mietsky). |

| Depeche Mode – Blasphemous Rumours Lyrics | 6 years ago |

@[Truepal:29849] "A question for anti-Christ’s or atheists: Have you tried reading or studying the bible as an adult?" Yes. "My premonition is that if you have taken the time to do this you would change your views" Your premonition turns to be wrong. "If you haven’t, realize that your opinion on God or Christianity for that matter is an uninformed opinion" God? Have you studied the Q'ram? What you mean is exclusively the Christian God isn't it? And exclusively a version on which the Bible is the only source. There are many others. You have not studied. And therefore, not believing on Allah, for example, is an uniformed opinion of you, according to this logic. Or not believing on the Hindu Gods. I think not. |

| Depeche Mode – Blasphemous Rumours Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| @[asha:29848] I just registered on this site just to tell you how arrogant you are in this posting. First, you requirement of any Atheist to have read a book before not only is ridiculously similar to Christians asking every Christian to read the Bible, but is also against any known definition of the word "Atheist", against all historicians describing Atheists before Hawking, and against the self-description of this person. If this person says he/she is an Atheist, then she/he is an Atheist, and you should accept it and not try to defy his very own self-definition, the less without the support of any scholar sources. And when you speak about yourself, you should not say "WE" ("we will file you under"). You first paragraph is incredibly arrogant and shows a high amount of ignorance. Learn and grow up. | |
