Stein um Stein (English) Lyrics
I have plans big plans
I'm going to build you a house
Every stone will be a tear
And you'll never move out again
Yeah I'm going to build a little house for you
with no windows no door
It'll be dark inside
No light will get in at all
Yeah I'll make you a home
And you are to be a part of it all
Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
I'll always be with you
Without clothes without shoes
You watch me working
With your feet in cement
You brighten up the foundation
Outside there will be a garden
And no one will hear you scream
Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
I'll always be with you
What a pounding what a hammering
Outside it's starting to get dark
All of the nails stand at attention
when I ram them into your body-wood
Stone by stone I wall you in
Stone by stone
And nobody will hear you scream
I'm going to build you a house
Every stone will be a tear
And you'll never move out again
Yeah I'm going to build a little house for you
with no windows no door
It'll be dark inside
No light will get in at all
And you are to be a part of it all
Stone by stone
I'll always be with you
You watch me working
With your feet in cement
You brighten up the foundation
Outside there will be a garden
And no one will hear you scream
Stone by stone
I'll always be with you
Outside it's starting to get dark
All of the nails stand at attention
when I ram them into your body-wood
Stone by stone
And nobody will hear you scream

ok sounds like a very obbsessive lover's wish to make the person part of their lives forever, kinda what john wayne gacy did
this song is truely twisted but it only makes me love it more. I love the way Rammstein thinks
It is me or does during the middle part of the chorus the lead singer sounds exactly like serj the lead singer of system of a down
Some trivia on this one: "Stein um Stein" is part of a German nursery rhyme. It goes "Stein um Stein, Stein um Stein, das Häuschen wird bald fertig sein." = "Stone by stone, stone by stone, the little house will be finished soon."
god i love rammstein lyrics.... these are so cool, this is also probably my favorite rammstein song, the music is very powerful and goes perfectly with these lyrics.
I think it could also lean towards the main character building a tomb for someone that they were deeply in love with....
it's the kind of love i think suits me, having someone all for you, no matter how twisted it sounds it's not really as twisted as some might think, i think it's a romantic song, there's sadness in the way they sing it, "I'll always be with you" is there any better love than this? :)
ah such a beautiful love song
Rammstein writes the best love ballads EVER.
I think this song shows in a brilliant way that love is nothing but selfishness and egoism. the narrator sings "ICH habe plaene" which shows that this is HIS dream of a perfect relationship and that he doesn't really care about what his partner wants. he seems to be aware of the fact that his partner will probably suffer ("und keiner hoert dich schreien") but he doesn't mind
