This song appears to be about Silke Bischoff, the 18-year-old girl who was killed after she had been taken hostage in the aftermath of a bank raid in Gladbeck, Germany, in 1988. The voice at the start of the song is a newscast about this case from German television. Also, several references in the song tally with the events of those days as well as the disturbing and highly controversial media frenzy surrounding it, which led to significant changes in the code of conduct for German media.
