Feuer und Wasser Lyrics
Wenn sie Brust schwimmt ist das schön
dann kann ich in ihr Zentrum sehn
Nicht dass die Brust das Schöne wär
Ich schwimm ihr einfach hinterher
Funkenstaub fließt aus der Mitte
ein Feuerwerk springt aus dem Schritt
Feuer und Wasser kommen nicht zusammen
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt
Im Wasser verbrannt
Wenn sie nackt schwimmt ist das schön
dann will ich sie von hinten sehn
Nicht dass die Brüste reizvoll wären
Die Beine öffnen sich wie Scheren
Dann leuchtet heiß aus dem Versteck
die Flamme aus dem Schenkeleck
Sie schwimmt vorbei bemerkt mich nicht
Ich bin ihr Schatten sie steht im Licht
Da ist keine Hoffnung und keine Zuversicht denn
Feuer und Wasser kommt nicht zusammen
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt
So kocht das Blut in meinen Lenden
Ich halt sie fest mit nassen Händen
Glatt wie ein Fisch und kalt wie Eis
sie wird sich nicht an mich verschwenden
Ich weiß
Feuer und Wasser kommt nie zusammen
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt
dann kann ich in ihr Zentrum sehn
Nicht dass die Brust das Schöne wär
Ich schwimm ihr einfach hinterher
Funkenstaub fließt aus der Mitte
ein Feuerwerk springt aus dem Schritt
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt
Im Wasser verbrannt
dann will ich sie von hinten sehn
Nicht dass die Brüste reizvoll wären
Die Beine öffnen sich wie Scheren
Dann leuchtet heiß aus dem Versteck
die Flamme aus dem Schenkeleck
Ich bin ihr Schatten sie steht im Licht
Da ist keine Hoffnung und keine Zuversicht denn
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt
So kocht das Blut in meinen Lenden
Ich halt sie fest mit nassen Händen
Glatt wie ein Fisch und kalt wie Eis
sie wird sich nicht an mich verschwenden
Ich weiß
Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt
In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen
und bin im Wasser verbrannt

Sounds a bit like he is lusting after a woman that he cannot get. She is water - calm, beautiful, at peace. And he is fire... she is swimming in his imagination but is out of his reach. She doesn't know he exists, and when he goes to touch her and make contact, he is burned. She doesn't want him, yet he is totally in love with her.
took the words right from my mouth..

It doesn't sound "a bit" like that, that's exactly what it is. Nothing about rape or terrorists. He's longing for that woman but he knows they'll never get in touch. She is out of reach for him, unfulfilled love. Fire and Water.

It's all metaphoric, like in most songs of Rammstein. He's not really swimming behind her. It's just a metaphor to describe his feelings.

This song immediately seemed to me to be about a submarine stalking a ship and then opening fire and destroying it. I'm going from the translation as to the meaning; I get the feeling of the calm, serene, beauty of the submarine following its victim and then, "a firework from the crotch", is the torpedo etc. being fired.
TLDR: Interplay between submarine and target told via the metaphor of a beautiful woman swimming.
This is clearly about rapist and his victim
An UNOFFICIAL direct translation is below:
It's beautiful when she swims the breaststroke Then I can see into her core Not that the breast is what's beautiful I just swim after her Sparking dust flows from the center A firework shoots from her crotch
Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame And am burned in the water Burned in the water
It's beautiful when she swims naked Then I want to see her from behind Not that the breasts are attractive Her legs open like scissors Then from its hiding place, the flame Glows hotly from her thigh-angle
She swims past and doesn't notice me I am her shadow, she stands in the light There is no hope and no confidence
Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame And am burned in the water Like this, the blood boils in my loins I grab her with wet hands Smooth as a fish and cold as ice She won't waste herself on me I know
Fire and water never come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame And am burned in the water
I don´t know if this song is really about two different worlds, cause i´ve noticed that even when Rammstein songs seem simple, there is really a deeper story.
hm maybe it is about a clamp
I agree with sunshine_arakhan, although I don't know whether it's that he is in love with her or whether he's just more infatuated with her physical beauty...
Also, is it just me or does the third stanza sound vaguely like a rape-scene, where he basically describes that he tries to force himself onto her ("I grab her with my wet hands/Smooth as a fish and cold as ice")?
Rammstein are the greatest rock band, in my opinion no one comes close, the music is incredible
i agree with paphan and sunshine... amazing song, thanks Rammstein you did it again :)
'She swims past and doesn't notice me I am her shadow, she stands in the light' Sounds kind of like a stalker to me, but I agree with Frau that Rammstein's songs are deeper than they seem. I think that the man in the song has fallen in love with the woman but has convinced himself that he isn't good enough for her, leaving himself to watch her, dreaming and wishing that he could be with her.
beautiful song nonetheless the meaning
but i do think it seems like a hopless love story
