In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Mittels Druck und Körperwärme
Wird aus unserer Konfusion
Eine Kernfusion
Und ungeheuer
Ungeheuer viel
Viel Energie wird frei
Mag sein, dass es nichts nutzt
Aber es beschleunigt
Und wenn es nur beschleunigt
Was ohnehin vergeht
Ist das kein Vergehen
Durchaus zu verstehen
Und ein Grund mehr für Feurio!
Marinus, Marinus, hörst du mich?
Marinus, Marinus, du warst es nicht
Es war Koenig Feurio!
Nur die halbe Welt ist Teflon und Asbest
Der Rest ist brennbar
Und mitunter angezündet
Ganz munter anzuschau'n
So lichterloh
Lichterloh
Und alles für Koenig Feurio!
Du bist das Licht der Welt
Mit dem wir uns vermischen
Bist nicht zu unterscheuden Wer Wer?
Dann haben wir entschieden
Sind entschieden
Leicht entflammbar und brisant
Unstillbar wenn entbrannt
Für König Feurio!
Wird aus unserer Konfusion
Eine Kernfusion
Und ungeheuer
Ungeheuer viel
Viel Energie wird frei
Mag sein, dass es nichts nutzt
Aber es beschleunigt
Und wenn es nur beschleunigt
Was ohnehin vergeht
Ist das kein Vergehen
Durchaus zu verstehen
Und ein Grund mehr für Feurio!
Marinus, Marinus, hörst du mich?
Marinus, Marinus, du warst es nicht
Es war Koenig Feurio!
Nur die halbe Welt ist Teflon und Asbest
Der Rest ist brennbar
Und mitunter angezündet
Ganz munter anzuschau'n
So lichterloh
Lichterloh
Und alles für Koenig Feurio!
Du bist das Licht der Welt
Mit dem wir uns vermischen
Bist nicht zu unterscheuden Wer Wer?
Dann haben wir entschieden
Sind entschieden
Leicht entflammbar und brisant
Unstillbar wenn entbrannt
Für König Feurio!

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.

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/
Marinus is the name of this young Dutch communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, accused of and executed for setting fire to the German Reichstag on February 27, 1933, but interpreting it as a symbol of water is an interesting idea too. Koenig Feurio most likely refers to Goering (read anything about the Reichstag fire) but also it is the symbol of the essence of destruction. Apart from that lyrics of this song may be interpreted even as containing sexual references... it is one of the best songs by EN.
Hi gaspode,
I think the usage of the name "Marinus" is furthermore an ironic allusion to the name "Feurio". Because in German the word "Feurio" derives from "Feuer", that means "fire" in english. The suffix "io" is some kind of personalization - quasi the person Feurio, who represents the element fire. And "Marinus" derives from "marin". In German its an adjective and means "affiliation to the sea". The suffix "(n)us" is like the "io" in "Feurio" - a personalization of the element water.
Marinus, Marinus, hoerst du mich? Marinus, Marinus, du warst es nicht es war Koenig Feurio!
I do really like this lines! because of both the lyrical and the historical ambiguity. It's quite typical for Blixas lyrics.
sorry, wrong guess. the song is about the exploding anger of people. translation from neubauten.org:
By means of pressure and body warmth out of our confusion comes a nuclear fusion and a monster a monster a monstrous amount of energy's released
It might be that it's useless but it quickens and if it quickens then what's to perish we concede is no mis-deed we're all agreed one more reason for feurio!
Marinus, Marinus can you hear me? Marinus it wasn't you it was king Feurio!
only half the world is teflon and asbestos the rest is burnable and it might be if ignited quite delightful to behold such a blaze ablaze and all for king Feurio!
You are the light of the world within which we mix ourselves until one cannot determine — who...who? then we have determined are determined easily enflamed and explosive insatiable when aroused for king Feurio!
marinus means the dutch communist marinus van der lubbe. he was accused of burning the german "reichstag" in 1933 and killed by the nazis 1934.
My german isn't the best but I guess this song is against the use of nuclear power. The lines "Nur die halbe Welt ist Teflon und Asbest / der Rest ist brennbar " is totaly genius. Although I'm positive to the use of nuclear power I love this song.
