Rammstein – Stirb Nicht Vor Mir Lyrics 19 years ago
I say it's about a vampire. I see Till as it and Sharleen as his chosen.
"Die Nacht öffnet ihren Schoß
Das Kind heißt Einsamkeit
Es ist kalt und regungslos
Ich weine leise in die Zeit
Ich weiß nicht wie du heißt
Doch ich weiß dass es dich gibt
Ich weiß dass irgendwann
irgendwer mich liebt"

This symbolizes how alone he is (because he is immortal) and how he's hoping someone will love him for who he is.

"He comes to me every night
No words are left to say
With his hands around my neck
I close my eyes and pass away

I don't know who he is
In my dreams he does exist
His passion is a kiss
And I can not resist"

The first is where he is just using Sharleen to feed, and the second reveals that she is either in love with him or caught in his thrall.

"Ich warte hier
Don't die before I do
Ich warte hier
Stirb nicht vor mir"

Vampires must rest in a coffin, in an almost death-like state. This could symbolize him telling her that he isn't dead, but she thinks he might be.

"I don't know who you are
I know that you exist
Stirb nicht
Sometimes love seems so far
Ich warte hier
Your love I can't dismiss
Ich warte hier"

Here she knows he is a vampire, but what she has been lead to believe in society is warring with what she knows is real. Till is still in the coffin.

"Alle Häuser sind verschneit
Und in den Fenstern Kerzenlicht
Dort liegen sie zu zweit
Und ich
Ich warte nur auf dich"

This could mean an immense passage of time and she is in a tomb, or that she has found another lover and Till still waits for her.

Sorry that was so long =/
