Sehnsucht Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Snyarhedir 

Cover art for Sehnsucht lyrics by Rammstein

Some have said that "zwischen deine langen Beinen..." ("between your long legs...") is a sexual reference. When commenting on the lyrics/translation videos of You Tube user #lyricsoframmstein, I said that "legs" was probably a metaphor for "trees" due to my limited ability to connect snow or sand to the vagina. (Yes, I know it's awkward.) However, after thinking some more and taking the rest of the lyrics and the album art (if nothing else) into consideration, I have decided that the song is about imprisonment and that the "long legs" are bars on a cell window; the narrator longs for freedom and adventure and does not even have a cell with a view of the outside world.
