Stirb Nicht Vor Mir Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Metzgermeister 

Cover art for Stirb Nicht Vor Mir lyrics by Rammstein

I say it's about a vampire. I see Till as it and Sharleen as his chosen. "Die Nacht öffnet ihren Schoß Das Kind heißt Einsamkeit Es ist kalt und regungslos Ich weine leise in die Zeit Ich weiß nicht wie du heißt Doch ich weiß dass es dich gibt Ich weiß dass irgendwann irgendwer mich liebt"

This symbolizes how alone he is (because he is immortal) and how he's hoping someone will love him for who he is.

"He comes to me every night No words are left to say With his hands around my neck I close my eyes and pass away

I don't know who he is In my dreams he does exist His passion is a kiss And I can not resist"

The first is where he is just using Sharleen to feed, and the second reveals that she is either in love with him or caught in his thrall.

"Ich warte hier Don't die before I do Ich warte hier Stirb nicht vor mir"

Vampires must rest in a coffin, in an almost death-like state. This could symbolize him telling her that he isn't dead, but she thinks he might be.

"I don't know who you are I know that you exist Stirb nicht Sometimes love seems so far Ich warte hier Your love I can't dismiss Ich warte hier"

Here she knows he is a vampire, but what she has been lead to believe in society is warring with what she knows is real. Till is still in the coffin.

"Alle Häuser sind verschneit Und in den Fenstern Kerzenlicht Dort liegen sie zu zweit Und ich Ich warte nur auf dich"

This could mean an immense passage of time and she is in a tomb, or that she has found another lover and Till still waits for her.

Sorry that was so long =/

@Metzgermeister I think he's talking about an incubus, not a vampire. An incubus is a demon that enters the dreams of woman and engages in sexual activity in order to have a child. It is classified as a male counterpart of the female succubus, who engaged in sexual activity with men. Like the succubi, incubi wore out their partners with constant sex and would even kill them.

The Incubus is just as beautiful and desired as his female counter part the succubus.
