I want

I want you to have faith in me
I want you to believe in me
I want to feel your eyes
I want to control every heartbeat

I want to hear your voice
I want to break the silence
I want you to see me well
I want you to understand me

I want your fantasy
I want your energy
I want to see your hands
I want to go down in applause

Do you see me?
Do you understand me?
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?

Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
I don't understand you!

I want

We want you to have faith in us
We want you to believe in us
We want to see your hands
We want to go down in applause - ja

Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
I don't understand you!

Can you hear us?
Can you see us?
Can you feel us?
We don't understand you!

I want...

    to add a pitiful defense of americans, yet still a defense, it must also be considered that even though we do learn languages (and many of us do indeed learn many languages despite general opinion), theres very little place to actually put these languages to use and without practice sometimes a language can lose its value -- the entire continent in Europe barely fills any section of the United States and you can travel across down the road or next door and get a different language, we have to cross and ocean to get any real wide spread use besides as mentioned earlier, spanish and french, but even still, english is still used more so the practice just is not there

    Its kind o'fun to listen to you guys! Well, i'm Norwegian! and i've noticed that there are rammstein-fans from multiple countries here. I saw that one of you claimed that many of european and other foreiger citicens knows english... well,i've bin in at least 7 different european countries, and only half or belov this knew the english language well enough to communicate and make themselves understood. as an example:We (my class) were in the peoples republic of czeck for approx. 3 years ago. We were a gang of 4 boys out to rent a VCR. In the store, we expressed ourseles in six different languages,- and let me say it so: no way in hell they understood what we really ment.. haha in our faces. No VCR that evening. I know german well enough to understand a lot of the lyrics. Norwegian and german aren't that far from eachother linguisticly seen. some words look almost the same f.ex. "hören" in german is "høre" in Norwegian (ö=ø) and in english its "hear". Actually you can see the similarity between all these languages. Not all people knows english because of too little contact with the language,as in most eastern european and southern countries,english films and more are dubbed to their domestic language.Ever seen "E.R." dubbed in czeck? hysterical rediculous! In Norway English films are only subtitled. and 60% of the films are English/American. We also watch The fast and the fuorious, Matrix-reloaded,saving private ryan, titanic and so on. thats not my point. we also have German series and other stuff. our country are multilanguistic. And the only music-genre Norwegian is known by,is Black Metal.so we listen to other well developed languages in music-among them -german.Rammstein are interpreting the german language so well that its almost impossible to translate it to English. Thats what makes the rammstein-lyrics so interesting to listen to-IN GERMAN! some translations in english are almost as rediculous to watch as the czeckdubbed"E.R" So a little more acceptance for the german language would be convenient. I heard my first Rammstein-song for four or five years ago. i was stunned after a couple of songs. How all the components matched together:the lyrics,-the language,-the tones- ALL of it! its so original and unduplicatabe. i have so many superlatives for rammstein that would take me years to write here. Obviously not everyone likes rammstein and industrial technorock or whatever we shall categorize rammstein as. And we should accept this. But as this, it should be accepted from the opposite direction too. So dont write crap about music you cant understand. it does`nt suit you. Thanks from Michael(and sorry for the language,it will never be perfect :o) )

    I think that when they say "I don't understand you" they mean that they can't understand how, after learning that all they want to do is control the people, the people still go along with what they tell them to do. Basically, saying, I don't understand how you can be so blind/naive to whats going on.
