Feuer und Wasser Lyrics

Cover art for Feuer und Wasser lyrics by Rammstein

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..

This is probably my favourite songs of all time the chorus is just phenomenal.. It is pretty much the story of my life... sad hey?

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.
