This is about a pedophile rapist, nothing more, nothing less, as far as I can tell. The rapist lures or takes the victim into its vehicle, offers food and fun (in this case, mussels and french fries and a trip to the beach). The double meaning of the word "Rosenkranz" (see footnote) confirms this above all else. Maybe this was based on a true story of a serial rapist/kidnapper who called himself Hallomann.
(I want to say nothing more about this song. Its subject matter and the way it is presented (too beautifully poetic, without the deprecation, condemnation or blatant horror in their other songs about rape) disgusts me! The only thing that can redeem it is if it is meant to teach a lesson like "Don't talk to/trust tricky strangers [who want to give you something or take you somewhere]".)
