Obviously the song and its music video is about rape and stalking. Though to some degree you could see simularities to the book little red riding hood. Which is about the same subject.Rammstein just made their own little red riding hood story.
Obviously the man represents the wolf one who "eats" red ridinghood (Its represents the beast/lust within). The Female by her color alone is red ridinghood her self. (The red in red riding hood back then represented her growth as a woman. If you get my meaning.) The start shows a guy finding the girls hankey and following her "scent" to the party. Where he then presumes to seduce her until he turns and "Eats" her.
In the middle of the song it shows the man in a dress walking out to "humanity." Disguised as the girl obviously it represents the different guises the animal could wear.In the book the wolf does this to fool the girl, then he eats her/rapes her. The people within dancing can act like the hunter who saves the day or like civilization who fights it off to a point but never really tries to stop it from happening again as the wolf gets away. Then at the end of the song we have the girl dead/eaten/raped who has the same eyes as the wolf. Simbolizing that it is an endless cycle and that she is now a monster. (Im not saying she has hurt anyone or done any thing monsterly, but Rammstein leaves it as a distinct possibility).
I would love to see someone come with greater depth with this song, I know this has more going on in its symobolizom and this is really only just the tip.
