I ilke the subtle and also dramatic difference between "und wenn ihr Spiel begann hielt ich den Atem an" and "und als mein Spiel begann
hielt sie den Atem an". It would not work as well in English, but the first one is more general, the second referring to one specific occasion. Which would be when he killed her. I also like the line "man löst sie vom Klavier", it somehow brings into my mind a vivid image of the corpse. This must be my favorite by Rammstein.
