Bestrafe Mich (English)

This is such a cool sounding song. I listen to it over and over again.

This song reminds me to a degree of the lament of Job, who as most Jews or Christians will know, was deprived of all that the Lord had given to him in order to test his faith when Satan challenged him. Job ultimately succumbs to the temptation to question God (though he is forgiven and all his possessions are reinstated) ... perhaps that is the perspective from which this song comes?

No, Till Lindemann (lead singer) said the entire band is against one religion in which you have to completely devote yourself to it. Therefore, they're most likely athiests.

That's my point ... I see it as a criticism of God's actions.

It's about how Till's father use to abuse him

That's kinda of funny because if you ask people they're religions and they say atheist, you kind of consider it a religion....Or I do...I dunno. But it's a really good idea of a song, the lyrics are amazing. This is what I mean about Rammstein, not exactly gothic lyrics but in German they sounds so evil just because German is such an amazing language...

was lament of job that guy who god killed all his family and stuff to test him? id b so pissed. This song does sound kinda like that story but.

no no and no. till's father did not abuse him. and this song is only a joke.it's not serious at all. Till said that in an interview.

It always sounded a little sexual to me. Anyway, I seem to think that every song is about sex... so just ingnore it.

aheheh, good point sorta like the second person version of buck dich eh? i'd suppose it's about how the pain doesn't matter as long as they care enough to do it, stockholm syndrome in a way, but i love the line "you say yes, and i say no" such emotion in till's voice...
