Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Die wunder dieser welt werden dir geschenkt
Glück ist nicht käuflich sehnsucht bleibt unerreicht
Preisrätsel winken nimmersatt
Kein mitleid für die mehrheit
Nihilistic mystics
Apostolic Alcoholics
Messianic Manics
In the age of super-boredom
Hype and mediocrity
Celebrate relentlessness
Menace to society
Refuse is our inspiration
Terrorism our trade
Sabotage and piracy
Chaos our mental sate
Mesmerizing festering
Intended for the faint of heart
Cultish and Anthemic
Until death us do part
Like a fiendish tropic virus
Spitting bile at all you whore
Razor-sharp tongue-in-cheek
Poking in your open sores
A wolf in sheep's clothing
The ultimate disgrace
Wrapped up as a gift of god
Exploding in your face
This is counter-culture from the underground
Eternal revolution this is our sound
KMFDM better than the best
Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest
Wenn der untergrund bebt ist die ordnung erschüttert
Der verrat an der seele macht leben ungesund
Mit unschlagbaren reimen werden wir uns vertreiben
Die zeit der langen weile bis zum grossen bums
Glück ist nicht käuflich sehnsucht bleibt unerreicht
Preisrätsel winken nimmersatt
Kein mitleid für die mehrheit
Nihilistic mystics
Apostolic Alcoholics
Messianic Manics
In the age of super-boredom
Hype and mediocrity

Until death us do part

Spitting bile at all you whore

Poking in your open sores
A wolf in sheep's clothing
The ultimate disgrace
Wrapped up as a gift of god
Exploding in your face
This is counter-culture from the underground

Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
song definitely fucking amazing ToxicFool has the right idea
anyone know what KMFDM stands for?
<anyone know what KMFDM stands for?>
Line 4 will tell you (it means 'no pity for the majority')
I remeber hearing this in Street Fighter 2, it is a really cool song.
Ah, I've heard the other way around: Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid--that is, no majority for pity.
did anyone ever stop to think that maybe it's "no pity for the masses"? Meaning no pity for the ppl... instead of no pity for the majority... meaning... no pity for whatever there's more of lol
I love the lines:
"Like a fiendish tropic virus Spitting bile at all you whore Razor-sharp tongue-in-cheek Poking in your open sores"
It's just so goddamn random. Love it.
I love these: "nihilistic mystics apostolic alcoholics messianic manics cataclysmic and prolific in the age of super-boredom hype and mediocrity celebrate relentlessness menace to society"
This whole song is really awesome. I've heard two different versions of it, but both of them have just been labelled as "Megalomaniac", so I'm not sure which one is the original and which is the remix.
This song made me thankful for my five years of German. I heard this in the Film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and fell in love with it. Even now, when playing the game on PS, I have to be listening to this song (and when I play Scorpion, I am unbeatable, until my thumbs get tired). This song, like many of theirs, is so chock full of angry energy, such a driving pulse, that impells you to get up and do ...something. Not bad for sex, either.
This song is so catchy. I love his passive voice while he sings. It makes it seem like he doesn't care.
The Excessive Force Mix of this song is really really good aswell.
I remember hearing this song in Test Drive 5, and that is what got me into KMFDM.
