Light

I'm surprised no one has commented on this song yet. One of my favorites. It appears KMFDM is not all that popular at this site, bleh. I dislike the lines "What we do for you is so good for you, what you do for me is so good for me", it bothers after awhile. Besides that, great song!

Ok guys, I'm dissapointed... "Keiner Macht Für Dich Mehr" --> KMFDM That's what KMFDM stands for. Google translates it as "None More power for you" Hmmm?

kmfdm's literary translation is "no mercy for the majority"

"We keep simple / Tough and outright / Easy to swallow / KMFDM light" This verse makes me think that their referring to light as in weight. Such as a lighter version of KMFDM like it's a soda or a similar consumer good.

I feel that KMFDM, esp. the album this song comes from, is especially poignant given say, maybe what? UKRAINE?

Don't quote me on it, but I think the last line in German means "No one does more for you".

KMFDM stands for "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid" ... the literal translation of that is "no majority for the pity" and is grammatically incorrect (and nonsensical) in German. However, it's usually loosely translated as "no pity for the majority" or "no mercy for the masses." I'm a bit out of practice with my German, so these are very rought. At times, the meaning of a word can change depending on whether it's capitalized or not. At the time of this posting, the lyrics here are not ideal for translation (there are several grammatical as well as capitalization errors), and can be found in proper German on the KMFDM website. Regardless, here's my rough translation of the German part of this song. Musik ist Macht Music is power Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm A strong connection between smart and dumb Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt Noise addicts will be drawn in under immense pressure and passion, the greatest joy and faith Der Helden Riff ist der Froschfresser The heroes' reef is the frog eater (like I said, I may be off with this, especially since I might not translate idioms correctly) Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan The rhythm of a beautiful swan Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an Deinem Gehirn Simply the words of a leech in your brain Keiner Macht für Dich mehr No more power for you (if the "M" in "Macht" were lowercase, this would translate to "no one does more for you" ... so it's kinda ambiguous, especially since on the KMFDM website, certain pronouns are capitalized in the lyrics when grammatically they shouldn't be, so yeah... that plus my sucky German = ???)
