Tier

Was macht ein Mann = what a man does was macht ein Mann der zwischen Mensch und Tier = between a human and a beast nicht unterscheiden kann = you can'nt tell the differece was

Er wird zu seiner Tochter gehen = he will go to his daughter sie ist schön und jung an Jahren = she is bautiful and young und dann wird er wie ein Hund = and then like a dog mit eigen Fleisch und Blut sich paaren = will mate with his own felsch and blood.

Was tust du = what you do Was fühlst du = what you feel Was bist du = what you are doch nur ein = but only an animal Tier

Was macht die Frau =what does a women do was macht die Frau die zwischen Tier und Mann = between a beast and a man nicht unterscheiden kann = who can tell the difference?

Sie taucht die Feder in sein Blut= she dips the feathe rin the blood schreibt sich selber einen Brief = and writes a letter entseelte Zeilen an die Kindheit = lifeless lin about her childhood als der Vater bei ihr schlief= when her father slepth beside her

Was tust du = what you do Was fühlst du = what you feel Was bist du = what you are doch nur ein = but only an animal Tier

YAY woh who I hope my german translating is ok !!

Jager... you do realise that anti-semitism is against the law... now, shut the fuck up about jews!

anyways... no. it's about a father who abuses his own daughter. though the second verse has me a bit lost...

incest hooray! :)

Okay, here is how I interpret the song: (my line-for-line translation)

What does a man do? What does a man do? The difference between man and animal, I cannot understand, WHAT? He is with his daughter, she is young and pretty, And then he is like a dog, mating with his own flesh and blood.

What do you do? What do you feel? What are you, except only an animal? What does a woman do? What does a woman do? The difference between animal and man, I cannot understand. She dips the feather in it's blood, writing herself a letter. (she writes of the) lifeless lines of her childhood As her father slept by her.

It pretty much says how humanity is basically as civilized as animals, because many still abide by only their primal impulses.. definitely everyone doesn't have incestuous relations with their parents, but we all have some aggresive, animal-like tendencies..

(^_^) Hope that didn't sound too out of whack.

This song is talking about how beastly and animalistic people are and can be. and I think how being treated by somebody in a beastly way, can make you that way yourself; in the first verse the father rapes his daughter and i beleive the second verse is talking about the daughter. "Sie taucht die Feder in sein Blut (she dips a feather in his blood)" the blood is that of her father and he is probably dead, she might have killed him because of what he did to her.

Well the translated lyrics are at http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/sehnsucht#du_hast but I am pretty sure that Tier means animal not beast, but I am with Star on this one about the meaning

I think the song is about a father that abuses-rape his daughter

For man is more ape than the rest of the apes. Yes, it's about a man who sexually abuses his daughter, and she kills him and dips her quill in his blood and writes her story. A German "Janie's Got a Gun," but with a morbid twist.

Tier = BEAST!
